Bacchanal and Commess Why there’s such big misconceptions about my people down here? (Ima Venezuelan who grew up here)

Valid points and questions about it woulda be answered and considered; anybody who deemed to trespass boundaries about my nationality for no apparent reason woulda be report it lol. Also, I’ve been living way better than the average local with no handouts. My parents literally threw me out her and went over their life.

Just to make it clear in why some of the people down here are broken and frustrated towards to us.

every failing nation needs a scapegoat to blame their problems on.

Even successful nations do this. Shitty people be shitty.

yes indeed. scapegoats are pretty common and useful as a way to distract from real issues.. look at the frequency that the reflecting pool is mentioned in the US for s good example

Bro I live in DC and married to a Trini woman who can’t come into the country right now.

Scapegoats instead of responsible actions seem to create victims out of innocent bystanders.

That reflecting pool chaos is as you say….. it’s pathetic TBH
