There's some sort of misconception that all the inhabitants of Latin America are exactly as the mexicans, mostly because of the great colony of them and his descendents leaving in the US; but that is wrong. Although we're proud of share roots in common with them, we're not the same. We're different, and that doesn't mean that ones are better than the others. Think of a family conformed by many siblings, all from the same parents but each of them with a distinctive personality.
The same applies for all our countries. It's enough if you pay attention to the idioms when you hear us talk on the race to understand it.
Vitoko:
We really like "Pebre" but that's not actually spicy...
On Topic though...
I'm confused about the caps...
Starting on 41 you can see Manfred, Braian and Esther doing the roadblock... but what's going on with Pierre on 44? Even he is falling sleep with this F4...
Also, the lasso thing could be an active route marker because we can see both Eze&Tobias doing it.

Very true. My family is originally from Mexico so I assumed all Latin Americans were pretty much the same from speaking to them here in the U.S.. Except watching the Race and hearing them speak Spanish I realized how different the accents are. The Uruaguayans and Costa Ricans are easy to understand but the Argentinians, Jeez, they need subtitles. Pierre I believe is actually from the U.S. I heard him speak english as if it was his first language on a few occasions.
Alenaveda:
We are fast talkers, and we are plain in terms of pronunciation - the opposite from mexicans -, and our coloquial talk is full of insults and idioms inherited from the "lunfardo" and the influence of foreign languages. Yeap, you probably need subtitles to understand us. :lol:
