I've heard some people mention that East Asian men and Southeast Asian men have a better image in the Eastern Europe and Latin America compared to Anglo countries and Western European countries. Considering how most Eastern Europe countries(Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Croatia, Serbia, Greece, etc) and some countries in Latin America (Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, etc) are predominantly white and even less racially diverse than those in Anglo countries and Western European countries, why would they be somehow more accepting and tolerant of East Asian men and Southeast Asian men? Wouldn't the white beauty standard prevail there as well? Hopefully it's not just wishful thinking among some people
Plus, I heard anti-Asian sentiment is becoming more prevalent in Eastern European countries and Latin American countries as well due to the increasing popularity of American media in these regions. In addition, I encountered Asian men of various nationalities(Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Filipino) complain they experienced lot of racism and hostility when they traveled in Eastern Europe and Latin America because they were mistaken as Chinese and they were invisible to Eastern European girls and Latin American girls though the Asian guys were reasonably attractive.
If this is any indication, it seems like the perception of East Asian men and Southeast Asian men isn't much different outside the Anglo countries and Western European countries. So what is the reason for this supposed better image of Asian men, if any?
As a French person, do you think you will have slightly less culture shock in Latin America than in Anglo-America (USA, Anglo-Canada, Belize, Guyana, Jamaica, Bahamas, and other English-speaking islands of the Lesser Antilles).
I know socioeconomically, France is closer to the US and Anglo-Canada, and this industriousness does affect everyday life, like family structures (more career oriented societies, where kids can move out by 18-25, multi-generational homes being rare, major cities being more cosmopolitan and international migration centers), and the French consume a lot of American pop culture from music, to Hollywood films, to fashion trends, to social media (Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, etc.).
But France also does share some traits with Latin America such as the love for football, Romance languages, historical Catholic presence (though not applicable to France these days), less uptight lifestyle when it comes to work and enjoying life. Would you say that countries in Latin America are closer culturally to France, or only countries like Argentina and Uruguay, which have large European population and even Parisian influence in their capital's architecture (plus wine culture), feel more familiar than Anglo-America? Or would you say Haiti feels more familiar (I'm excluding French territories in the Americas, since they are part of France, and also Quebec, since it doesn't count as part of Latin America for some reason).
In my country the lacanian current prevails. I would like to know of some place where american psychoanalysis has reached the universities.
From the horizon came the ships, cutting through the calm winter sea like water striders upon a stagnant lake. There was little fanfare heralding these ships, naught but the howling of the wind and the snowflakes that blew in ever which way, searching for purchase on the sea below.
Though the vessels sported little ornamentation, there was a banner that billowed gently to the winds; it was the crowned stag of Durrandon, and below it were two other flags, that of the three gurges of House Massey and a winged black heart.
Soon, they would arrive on the docks of Dragonstone, and with it the emissary of the Stormlands.
I've met some Mexican Kevins, Brayans, Jennifers etc and they've all been completely normal so far.

Hello there, I'm jesperson/He Watches the founder of the AR project.
Our aim in this project is to create a culture, history and language of an alternate Britain where the Roman population of Britain remained. We'll take it from 400AD (the end of Roman Britain) all the way to the modern era.
The language will be a new branch of Vulgar Latin with Celtic, French, and likely some Norse influence.
I look forward to seeing all of you!

I am curious about what (if any) cultural factors make up the differences between the western culture and philosophy that is seen in Anglo-American influenced countries and that of the Latin influenced countries. Is there a significant difference in culture that can be pointed to as the reason for US success as opposed to Brazil? Both countries are of similar size and population, is there something about the culture of the country that can be pointed to as the reason for the US being a superpower?
Secondly, is Latin America Western? Many Latin Americans whom I have spoken to say yes, but many Americans from the US either say maybe or a flat no.
Basically, would there be a mostly Christian, English-speaking USA and bilingual Canada in Northern America, and an Islamic, Arabic-speaking βSemite Americaβ in Mexico and all areas south of it?
Would there be a lot more war and brutality in the Caribbean and the US-Mexico frontier due to religious conflict between Anglo Christians and βHispanic/Iberian-ishβ Muslims?
How more or less likely would the Muslim Andalusians have been to settle and intermingle with the (surviving) Native Americans as the Christian Spaniards/Portuguese did in OTL?
NOTE: This is assuming al-Andalus DOES colonize the New World.
There are too many people in my country (Brazil) who ask: "Why are we poorer than Americans?", some random person could make a quick answer, but non exactly a good answer.
At first we have to consider a fact. The Anglo-Saxon American countries (Canada and US) were colonized to be populated when the puritans arrived there. But in another situation, the south countries were colonized to be explored, so their prime materials was sent to the European metropolises.
This is a common explain that we often hear in the school. But if we take an example (Brazil), the country got its independence in 1822, but do you know who was the master head of the independence? Yes, D. Pedro I. The Portugal's king son. So if we, Brazilians say we are poor because our colonizers, we could do something to change this in our 198 years of independent, right? Yes, but we stilled dependent of Portugal for some years after the independence.
The main problem of the sub developed nations is who leads its.
Brazil had too many changes in its history, dictatorial governments, "popular democratic" governments, republic implement, but in all these cases the populations wasn't totally involved. All theses changes was made by isolated groups of influent politicians, that only want to implement their ideology, but who don't want to reach in a main objective.
I think the situation is same in another countries of Latin America.
These all occured at the same time and both influenced and were influenced by the wars between the European powers?
I've made a few memes in the past before involving these events but always making sure they stayed within hoe they directly impacted the "main theater" of the war in Europe.
I'm simply wondering if these wars should firmly count as part of the Napoleonic Wars, even if they dont directly involve France?
Who is stronger in 1936? Can Usa overpower all on Latin-america by himself or will he get help?
Mayby Anglo-America will even lose.
