    Default Which Latin American migrant group is the "model minority" of your country?

    By "model minority", I mean they're considered the best immigrants to have in your country.

    They also have to be from another Latin American country as opposed to a European one.

    Mmm I guess Uruguayans, since they blend in perfectly and you don’t even notice they are Uruguayans unless they mention it. They are like Canadians in the US.

    Aside from that, the other immigrant groups are pretty similar... I wouldn’t consider any of them a model minority, since among them there are several “model individuals”.

    As if any other country had as many Latin Americans as US and even the concept of ''minority'' is quite foreign outside US.

    Someone who is Venezuelan but happens to be white, will be just treated as any other white person in Brazil. Someone who is Venezuelan and looks like a black will be treated like a black. People here don't think in these communitary terms like ''Venezuelan community'', ''Cuban community'' etc.

    Many of my ancestors came from a city in which most people descend exclusively from Italians and I don't recall many people self-defining as ''Italian-Brazilians'', everyone are just Brazilians who happen to have Italian ancestors . I don't know about other Latin American countries, but here this Anglo-Saxon type of communitarism doesn't exist.

    There is a deep divide between Romance and Germanic way of dealing with ''diversity''.

    Yep, forgot about Venezuelans. They are a model minority in Argentina.

    The last 3 UberEats/Rappi I ordered were Venezuelans, and they seemed to be working their asses off.

    Here it’s quiet similar within the general population that descends from immigrants arrived during the last century.

    But we do have some separate communities of Bolivians, Peruvians and more recently the Senegalese.
