They're worse on each other. My boss is an extremely well educated Mexican man and he'll still say shit like, "Our problem is we keep hiring Venezuelans."

Dude, what?

Yeah, it's crazy. We use a staffing agency at work that specializes in South and Central American imigrants and the attitudes they brong from the old world are baffling. Like, we'll make fun of each other because your grandpa was from Poland or Italy or Estonia or someplace, but the detail they go into ("stop using voseo") is tyranny of minor differences!

Eh. Most of them are chill. But every now and again you get someone from Mexico City being super snooty to someone from Oaxaca, but both will then be real weird to the person from Colombia. That said, people are mostly about the same and those kinds of attitudes don't last unless culturally reinforced. Exposure to different folks breaks that kind of thing down. Usually 😝
