Just because someone expresses their opinon against the U.S does not mean they are jealous, disregarding their opinions for jealousy is closed minded and an example to some of the opinons generated. Generalizing in t2000he defense of generalizing is pretty much hypocrisy, not so charming or fair. Just as much as i dislike hearing sterotypical junk about other countries or groups, I dislike seeing how people will think 'Americans' are a dumb, vengeful, fat, pompous population. People who possess these characteristics may happen to be the majority but that doesn't mean the minority should be disrespected just because we sometimes aren't heard or asked our opinion of how to opperate.
As far as i know, nobody appreciates being misrepresented so the content concerning: 'which is basically the only choice for Native American children from Venezuela' and the little repetitive parts about '..in a 3rd world country' and 'needless to say, Patricia's life was far from luxurious' you actually did not need to say as it seems irrelvant and has caused some conflict(even if unintentionally). It is always good to know anyone has bettered themself from "rags to riches" through a constructive and creative way though!
And i don't remember who asked but Native Americans refer to the first peoples of the Americas. And the 'Americas' are not the U.S.A and canada but North and South [[America]] -

Venezuela is definitely not a third world country. They describe Venezeual as an Italy with Spanish speaking people.
Uh-huh.
Get over it, it may not be a jungle but the country is still ridden in poverty. This is one of the most pointless, worthless threads ever. Latin Americans can be so damned annoying. -

Hi, here is a discussion about Venezuela, and I think taht some things are insultants. But they haven't said nothing about Guajira!! Guajira is NOT in Venezuela, is in Colombia!!! Then, the IMDB editors must write correctly where the beautiful Patricia was born. Thanks!

BUSIRACO78 The Goajira is a geographic place between Venezuela and Colombia, mostly arround the Penninsula (De la Guajira) even some natives people (Guajiros) share both nationalities, so the statement about Venezuelan Guajira is correct Patricia is Venezuelan and with native Guajira blood just check by yourself in a Atlas or a good Map.. thanks

Well then, Americans talk about us living in a 3rd world country (I think this is funny, I thought we lived in the same world, didn't know there were 3 of them) like living in poverty, miserably, without opportunities, etc, and we souldn't get offended??
Then, they say we are jealous, they say America is paradise on earth, they are proud of having thinks like Nike, Levis and Hollywood as their cultural references, say that they live in the only 1st world country on earth (who wrote this probably doesn't know Europe), have a neonazi Bush as a president (lot worse than Chavez), and still wonder why we call them morons??
Yeah, that's something to be proud of -

Well, before I say anything, let me make one thing clear. I HATE Bush! One of the people I most hate in this world. But thats not the case now.
Im from Brasil, and I have been watching closely whats happening in Venezuela, so I must say that Chavez is not worse than Bush.
And hey, Lula, the president of Brasil, is not so great too. So I think that the world is prety screwed up with all those beep rulers
