Episode Summary
In this episode of The Expat Files, Johnny Mueller explores the stereotypes that Latin Americans have about expats, particularly regarding honesty, reliability, and romantic behavior. He begins by discussing assumption number nine, which is the stereotype that Latin Americans have about expats being honest and good to their word. Johnny explains that these stereotypes are largely based on media portrayals and limited real-world interactions, as most Latin Americans have never spoken face-to-face with an expat. He notes that Latin American professionals, such as lawyers, often prefer working with expats due to their perceived reliability and commitment to agreements. However, he also warns about the complexities of doing business in Latin America, where verbal agreements and signed contracts may not always be reliable, and expats often need to navigate a dual legal system with both ethical and less scrupulous lawyers.
Johnny then discusses the common perception of expats in Latin America, highlighting how they are seen as honest and straightforward in both business and romantic contexts. He explains that this perception can sometimes work against expats in romantic relationships, as Latin people often equate jealousy with love. Johnny shares a personal anecdote from La Saba, Honduras, where a man slapped his girlfriend after other men complimented her, illustrating the intense jealousy and possessiveness common in Latin cultures. He concludes by emphasizing the challenges expats face in understanding and navigating the complexities of love and romance in Latin America.
In another segment, Johnny recounts a bizarre and intense experience during a date where a man suddenly intruded into his car, claiming to be the ex-boyfriend of his date and threatening to kill himself if Johnny didn't back off. Johnny is taken aback by the situation, unsure how to respond, and eventually tells the man to leave. He reflects on the cultural differences between expats and Latin Americans, noting that such extreme behavior is more common in Latin America due to heightened jealousy and emotional intensity. He also discusses stereotypes about expats being 'cold but kind,' contrasting their reserved nature with the expressive and passionate culture of Latin America. Johnny further elaborates on how expats are often perceived as more socially conscious and less prone to alcoholism than their Latin counterparts, which contributes to these stereotypes.
Johnny then discusses the social dynamics between expats and Latin Americans, highlighting the lack of social class distinctions among expats. He explains that Latin America has rigid social hierarchies, making it difficult for individuals to move between classes. He notes that wealthy Latin men often have mistresses from lower classes but do not marry them, and that Latin parents expect their children to marry within their social class. Expats, on the other hand, are accepted across all social strata in Latin America, allowing them to mingle with people from all backgrounds. Johnny also touches on the stereotype that mixed marriages between expats and Latin people will result in offspring with desirable physical traits from the expat, such as blue eyes, light skin, or height, which is a common belief among Latin women.
Finally, Johnny humorously addresses stereotypes about expats and Latin Americans. He jokes about his appearance, comparing himself to Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and Tom Cruise, but then clarifies that he's just an average balding expat with blue eyes. He then shifts to discussing how Latin women often have a romanticized view of expats, believing they carry 'blue-eyed blonde-haired lily-white genes' that can produce offspring with desirable traits, even if the expat doesn't look like it. Johnny jokes about the genetic lottery and the law of averages, suggesting that even if an expat is short, dark, or ugly, there's a chance of a 'blonder blue-eyed' child. He moves on to stereotype number 16, which is about the lack of organization and attention to detail in Latin American households, comparing them to 'white trash' in the U.S. He describes how Latin American homes, cars, and businesses often appear neglected and poorly maintained, contrasting this with the meticulous care first-world expats take with their possessions. He concludes by emphasizing the cultural difference in attitudes toward car maintenance and upkeep, and ends with a brief mention of the show's schedule and availability.

[00:01] South of the border Down Mexico Hi everybody, I'm Johnny Mueller and you're listening to the expat files living in Latin America The one-of-a-kind show that tells you what it's like to live work play and or retire in Latin America. Let's get started Last show I never really got to finish the theme of love and romance in Latin America It's such a big and all-encompassing Subject and people up in the first world have so many questions about it that I decided to do the final part right now Well, I take that back. It might not be the final part because I'm sure after you listen to this I'm gonna get a ton of emails asking about things I just failed to cover now what I did in the last show was present eight assumptions that Latin Americans have about
[00:52] First-world people and that means you expats and expat wannabes out there So let's continue with assumption number nine Another stereotype that Latin people have about expats that really works in our favor But I have to say at the onset like I said in the last program. These stereotypes are just that Stereotypes based pretty much on what the Latins know about us mostly from cable TV Hollywood movies and newspapers and magazines Because like I said before the average Latin American person has never spoken face-to-face with an actual first-world person and one Latin sociologist is Estimated that only one in 20 Latin Americans has ever had a conversation with a first-world person. Of course I'm not talking about the heavily traveled tourist areas like Cancun in Costa Rica
[01:37] I'm talking about the other 98% of Latin America where you can walk around practically all day and never even run into a first world person So what I'm about to tell you doesn't apply so much to Costa Rica anymore Nor does it apply to any of the big cities or tourist destinations in Mexico or heavily visited tourist areas in other parts of Latin America, but as for the other 19 Latin American countries what I'm about to tell you certainly applies So pay attention Especially all you first-worlders up there who've been disappointed unhappy or unlucky in love in your own country Because this might have a big impact on your life or not So whatever you think about this report Like I said in the last show when I talked about love and romance Latin style don't kill the messenger here at the expat files
[02:26] It's my job to give you the good the bad and the ugly in this case for the expat. It's almost all good Just remember that everything I'm gonna say is backed up by multiple facts dozens of expat testimonies both male and female and 20 years of direct observation So if you don't like what I'm about to say, I can't help it I'm just giving you the facts and for you expat wannabes out there if what I'm gonna say sounds too good to be true Well, the only way you're really gonna find out for yourself is if you come down here and live for a while And of course it helps a lot if you learn a little Spanish along the way so here we go with assumption number nine a Stereotype that really works in the expats favor and that's true for both love romance and in business First world people and that means expats are honest and good to their word
[03:16] With them a deal-to-deal a promise is a promise and a handshakes as good as a signed contract And maybe that's why Latin lawyers love to have first world people as clients Ask any Latin American lawyer who has a few first world clients and he'll tell you that he'd rather have one first world client Than ten local ones though. He won't admit it in mixed company, but that's what they're all thinking And it's not only for the obvious reason that the first world guy has much deeper pockets And will surely have no trouble paying the fees that the lawyer might charge The real reasons lawyers architects accounts and other professionals love to work with first world people It's that they know whatever deals or agreements they do make with a first world guy will be backed by strong efforts and good intentions
[04:04] And that the first world guy will do everything possible to make sure the deal goes through Now this is in stark contrast to the usual way of doing business in Latin America Where the BS to reality ratio is usually about 9 to 1 in other words when you're doing business in Latin America Talk is not just cheap. It's worthless and even with signed contracts the deals only as good as the maneuverings of your own lawyer and That's why such a high percentage of first world people actually get ripped off by their own lawyers along the way In fact, I don't think there's a single case of an expat who's lived more than a few years in Latin America Who hasn't somehow been ripped off by a lawyer whether it's his or somebody else's in fact It's happened to me more than once and after a while most expats learn that sometimes it's necessary to have two lawyers
[04:56] The good guy and the bad guy the good guy being a strictly above-the-board lawyer who does everything by the book And let me tell you that's a hard guy to find and then there's the second kind of lawyer the bad guy Now he's the one you gotta watch out for but you need him just the same. He's the one that gets things done He opens doors and greases palms along the way and you don't want to ask him too many questions But you have to keep your eyes on him all the time because if he gets the chance he's likely to pull something on you Too he's not the guy you want in charge of your escrow fund You leave that to your good guy lawyer, but he is the guy you want to get your construction bids for you Sometimes it's better to have a latin frontman to do your deals and contracts and your bad boy lawyer
[05:41] He's just the guy for that because as soon as they see a first world guy the price can easily escalate Maybe even double and when that happens, they always say he was charged gringo prices And they don't feel one bit bad about it either because they always say gringos are rich. They can afford it For example, if you're doing any kind of construction project in Latin America there's always going to be a hold-up a work stoppage or some kind of fly-in the ointment and That second lawyer your sleazy lawyer. He's the one that has those secret meetings in dark corners of restaurants paying off this cement contractor and that government bureaucrat just to keep things rolling along because in Latin America if there's one thing that every Expat knows is that it's nearly impossible to do anything by the book
[06:27] In fact, it's the rare guy who doesn't pay a bribe somewhere along the way in any project that he's trying to get done So you can see why lawyers accountants architects and engineers love to work with first-world people because first-world people as opposed to Latins are Bound to a schedule and when delays start happening and schedules get disrupted First-world people are quick to shovel out more money to get things back on track Latins know that there's nothing like a good construction delay to send a first-world guy into a panic Whereas Latin people they're so used to things falling behind schedule in fact since projects almost never get done on time the manana mentality prevails and Latins just don't get uptight about it So what I'm basically saying is that expats are perceived to be honest and straight about business deals
[07:17] but not only that they're perceived to be honest and straightforward in the matters of love and romance too and Because of that stereotype right or wrong Latin women see that as a great virtue and believe that we're much less likely to lie to them than their own Latin men That said we'll move on to assumption number 10 Now this is a stereotype that Latins have about expats that can actually work against you when it comes to love and romance And it's one of the very few that does that is they believe that first-world people That means expats are not likely to be jealous or possessive in romantic relationships Well, that's what they think and even if it were true. Why should something like that work against an expat in a romantic relationship?
[08:05] Well, I'll tell you that's because Uncontrollable jealousy is an inbred Latin personality trait that both the men and the women possess and in many situations Latins of both sexes equate jealousy with love In other words if you don't get boiling jealous once in a while sooner or later Your partner's gonna think you just don't love her and of course we expats know It's not that simple a lot of us do get jealous at the various degrees But chances are you've never really seen jealousy until you've seen it on display in Latin America You know It's not overstating the case to say that some Latin men can work themselves into such a state of possessiveness and jealousy That psychiatrists actually have a name for it in the first world
[08:52] They'd call it morbid jealousy syndrome And it's usually accompanied by alternate crying and bouts of violence And that's with the men and I don't have to tell you that if something like that happened in the first world the guy would soon be spending the night in a padded cell and Latin psychiatrist will tell you that it's easily explained because you see Latin American men are such chronic womanizers they know that they themselves can't be trusted and in turn they don't trust their own women and As for why Latin women are extremely jealous themselves. Well, it only stands to reason They're justifiably jealous because nearly every one of them has been deceived by a Latin guy at least one time or another on the other hand The stereotype that Latins have for first world people and expats correct or not
[09:39] Well, they believe that we're more trusting. We have more confidence and self-esteem and we're more calmer in general So we're perceived as much less jealous or possessive which like I said can sometimes work against us Especially in a society where jealousy is often confused with love Which leads me to a story to prove my point a few months ago. I was in La Saba Honduras Now La Saba is a Caribbean coastal town with a little less than a hundred thousand people Now I was sitting in my car in the parking lot of a disco Waiting for some friends to arrive and a car pulled up alongside of me in park and a beautiful young girl in her 20s Got out along with her boyfriend now for a while They stood alongside my car all lovey-dovey as he complimented her hair and her dress and her shoes
[10:26] And I'll tell you she did look great He was whispering little nothings and telling her how wonderful she was and how she was the most beautiful girl in the city and all That then they held each other for a while and smiled and kissed like lovers everywhere do in disco parking lots Then another car pulled up alongside theirs and four guys got out Then they took a quick look at the guy and the girl and they smiled and as they started walking towards the disco they made a few remarks out loud saying how hot the girl was and a few other things but nothing terrible and suddenly when the four guys disappeared into the disco the boyfriend hauled off and slapped his girlfriend right in the face and started to accuse her of wearing sexy clothes just to attract other guys attention and Needless to say she started crying got back in the car and the guy got all puffed up
[11:15] walked into the disco and disappeared and he left the girl sitting in the car crying for who knows how long and That my friends is a common occurrence in Latin America The guy wants his girlfriend to be beautiful and sexy but he flies into a jealous rage if some other guy happens to take notice of her and that's the double standard Latin American men And women live with 24 hours a day So you can see why it takes a long time for an expat to learn the ins and outs of love and romance in Latin America And that's why I'm giving you these little tidbits here now And if you think that's just an isolated story Something else happened to me when I first came down to Latin America that threw me for a loop One night in Cartagena, Colombia. I had a date with a beautiful young girl It was maybe my third date with her and I was to pick her up after work outside a large elegant restaurant
[12:06] Where she worked as an accountant? So at the precise time I pulled my car up in front of the restaurant She started walking out came up to the door I opened the passenger door and suddenly a guy came out of nowhere and slipped in and sat down next to me Leaving her standing outside in the street now The first thing that I thought was that it was a carjacking and I was waiting for him to pull a gun on me But no Instead he said he was her ex-boyfriend and that he was still in love with her and he would do anything to get her back And what would it take for me to back off? And if I didn't back off he said he was gonna kill himself Now I must have looked like a complete idiot with my jaw hanging wide open Because I really did not have an answer for that and I finally said, you know, you got to work that out for yourself, man
[12:55] Will you please get out of my car and he did all the while? Of course, I was hoping that if he killed himself, he wouldn't take me with him I mean, what do you do when a guy says something like that? I mean things like that just don't happen in the first world. At least I think they don't not with grown adults anyway and then my girlfriend got back in the car and she wasn't a bit surprised that he'd pulled a stunt like that and The way that me and most expats look at it It's that the jealousy gene is on steroids down in Latin America and you just have to expect the unexpected sometimes And just as an aside when these guys threaten to kill themselves over a woman They're not likely to go through with it But one Latin psychiatrist did tell me that passion killings are about a hundred times more frequent in Latin America
[13:43] Than in the first world But most of the time the guy gets all tanked up on booze and kills the girl or the new boyfriend Which of course didn't ease my nerves at all Which brings me to stereotype number 12 first worlders That means expats are cold, but kind now that's how most Latins view expat men and women cold, but kind and Latins should know because we've all heard about that stereotype hot Latin blood haven't we sure we have well, the opposite holds for us in their eyes and They know first world people are more awkward when it comes to public displays of affection And that's no joke because Latins are really into emoting in public. I First-world person isn't a bit awkward or embarrassed around people who are lovey-dovey in public
[14:32] Whereas in Latin America those touchy-feely expressions of emotion are so commonplace Even expats practically can't avoid them Just take for example anytime you have to greet somebody even in a business situation Like when a group of Latin American men meet up with a group of Latin American women It's always a marathon cheek kissing session and it takes a while for expats to get used to that But they do and after a while you might even get to like it and though Latin people have the idea that we're pretty cold They also believe that we have good hearts. We care about people and animals and that we're kind I guess they haven't been watching much of our reality TV now, huh? Anyway, the basis of that stereotype that we're kind and have good hearts Well again that comes from what they see on television and the cable news channels
[15:20] I mean, what else would they think when week after week? They see thousands of people marching in the street for all kinds of humanitarian causes to ban guns and stop animal testing to save the turtles and the trees and the seals and a tuna and a Spotted owl and the mink and the foxes you name it and there's some first-world group out there picketing and protesting Especially when it comes to saving something cute and cuddly because you won't see that in Latin America. Oh sure You'll see picketing and protesting when government checks bounce or there's a four-day power outage or when the local water faucets have dried up But no one's out there marching in the street to save the spotted ocelot or the three-toed tree sloth Wow, that was a tongue twister. You try saying three-toed tree sloth
[16:05] anyway Only first world people have the time the money or the heart to save furry little creatures Nobody really cares about so you can pretty much see where that stereotype comes from. So let's move on to stereotype number 13 Another Latin assumption about expats that works in our favor First world men made drinking party, but they don't do it in excess or get too far out of control Hmm. How about that one? Now? I know a lot of expats that don't fit that stereotype But if Latin women want to believe that let them Apparently most Latin American women have never seen e-entertainment televisions wild on Cancun or spring break I guess the root of this stereotype must be the fact that successful rich smart first world people
[16:55] Could never have built that sophisticated power structure Including the factories and the cars and the internet and the infrastructure that we live in today I mean, how could we have done that if we were just a bunch of partying drunks and that's logical enough because Latin women know all about boozers because you see Latin America has a huge alcoholism problem, but Pretty much confined exclusively to the male population In fact world health organization stats show that Latin America has three times the per capita booze consumption than in the first world and it's pretty much no secret that there's at least one disruptive drunk in every extended family and Sometimes more than one and again that person or persons almost always male. Okay enough said about that
[17:43] Okay. Now we're on to stereotype number 14 Now here's a big one that really works in an expats favor Expats are very democratic and don't much care about social class distinctions And why this stereotype is such a big one is the fact that Latin America is a have-and-have not society With its own pretty much iron-clad social hierarchies as a rule Latin women have a very hard time moving up from poverty to the middle classes or From the middle class up to the higher stratus of society and that's because as a rule Latin guys either won't or can't marry out of their own social structure On the other hand wealthy Latin guys will often have a mistress from the lower classes but they'll never marry her and it's well known that wealthy Latin parents expect their kids to marry within the class and
[18:35] Parents have been known to cut their kids off if they try to dip into the lower classes So naturally it doesn't happen much now Here's where this stereotype really works to the expats advantage You see expats are pretty much immune from social distinctions in Latin America In other words when they fall in love with a girl, they don't much care if she comes from the high middle or lower classes though in the case of expat women they're more than likely to fall in love with a Latin man from the upper classes and Most of us male expats agree that that happens because most women expats don't fancy hooking up with a Latin guy in Anyways serious that is if he only makes three or four hundred dollars a month because that's middle-class wages in Latin America So even if he looks like Antonio Banderes the female expat might have a fling
[19:22] But she more than likely won't marry him because though first-world women consider themselves equal to a man in every way I've yet to meet one who feels like supporting a Latin guy the rest of her life Even if he does look like Antonio Banderes But when it comes to expat men when they hook up with a Latin girl, even if she's from the lower classes She's automatically elevated into the expat world and expats in Latin America are accepted at all levels of society They cut through every social strata and they can mingle with kings presidents princes and paupers The fact is they're accepted everywhere. And if you have an expat as your personal friend, that's even better It's much the same thing. Let's say if you're an American living in the United States
[20:08] It's thought to be kind of cool to have an English Australian or German buddy. Just not French You know what I mean But when it comes to Latin Americans it seems like everybody wants to gringo at their party and it doesn't even matter if you bring a bottle of wine or not and When an expat brings his wife or girlfriend to the party, even if she's from the lower classes That girl can crash through all the social barriers, too. That is as long as she's with an expat Okay, let's move on to assumption number 15. And this is an odd assumption that Latin people have about mixed marriages Okay, now pay attention to this Because I think you're gonna find this hard to believe The offspring of a Latin person and an expat in other words if they get married and have kids The kids resulting from that union will somehow pick up most of the good physical traits from the expat
[20:58] Which means the Latin genetic component will be somewhat muted Because Latins especially Latin women have this irrational belief that the union between an expat and a Latin person will somehow produce a tall blonde blue-eyed light-skinned kid or let's just say they have a rationally high hopes about that outcome and Latin women believe that somehow Even if the expats short dark and ugly in other words a match between a Latin and an expat Will somehow produce kids that look like Brad Pitt. I know that sounds ridiculous Now I have to admit this is one of the stranger assumptions that Latin American women have about first-world expats Now I heard about this amazing belief one day when I was at my Latin girlfriend's house and in the other room
[21:44] Her mother was having a Tupperware party with about 20 other Latin American women Now one of the young ladies had a two-week-old baby in her arms and all the rest of the ladies were gathered around looking At the baby oohing and eyeing her eyes Now the baby was pure Latina very dark hair dark skin But for some reason had blue eyes and in this case the ladies were oohing and eyeing the little baby much more than usual Because it turns out the most desirable Characteristics any Latin person can have is blue eyes in Latin society blue eyes are a free pass In fact throughout Latin America, they're so rare that for young women fake blue contact lenses are all the rage In fact, if you're an expat with blue eyes and you're walking down the street
[22:31] It's not at all unusual to hear a lady comment to another about your blue eyes And you really don't know what the fuss is about because up in the first world. They're pretty common in Latin society light skin, of course is highly desirable as well as height and for guys anything over five six is a big man on campus and Of course light hair which never shows up naturally in a Latin population But blue eyes trump everything and that's why a baby born with blue eyes is put on such a high pedestal And for that matter green and gray eyes take a close second place and like at this Tupperware party Everyone was gathering around and remarking on it But unfortunately when Latin children are born with blue eyes They almost always fade to brown within a year
[23:18] That is unless they have some expat blood in them because that's just about the only way a kid won't end up with a shade Of brown and even with an expat parent with pure blue eyes. There's no guarantee the kids are gonna have them But at this particular Tupperware party, I overheard them talking about me yours truly and what the babies would look like if I got married to my Latin girlfriend if You could have heard them talk You would have thought I look like Brad Pitt Matt Damon and Tom Cruise all wrapped into one and I'm not I'm just your average balding expat, but I do have blue eyes But you see in the minds of Latin women It doesn't much matter what an expat really looks like because somewhere deep down in our chromosomes We're all carrying those blue eyed blonde haired lily white jeans somewhere and when we mix them up with a Latin partner
[24:08] Well, that's when the magic begins at least according to a big percentage of Latin women And I guess even if you are a short dark ugly expat once in a while At least according to Mendelssohn and Darwin one of those blonder blue eyed recessive jeans is bound to pop up somewhere I mean who am I to contradict the law of averages after all you can't win the lottery if you don't buy a ticket But honestly for me it just reinforces the fact that Latin school kids need a lot more biology in the school curriculum Okay enough about that totally unfounded assumption. Let's push on to stereotype number 16 Latins generally believe that first world people that's expats are very big on details and Organization that is of course compared to the Latin American way of doing things and you know
[24:56] I'd have to say of all the stereotypes mentioned so far this one to me is the most spot-on I mean you only have to look at a Latin Americans house Yard or car to see how this stereotype took hold Because in Latin America the average house or car can be so ramshackle dirty and derelict that they make some of our first world White trash, Texas trailer courts look like manicured estates, and I'm not kidding now I'm not out to diss Latins here But it seems to me and almost every other expat I've ever talked to That every house car and business in Latin America could use a good thorough wash down with a high-pressure water hose And that still wouldn't be half enough I mean, it's a common saying in the first world that you can tell a lot about a person by his car
[25:43] You know you are what you drive and a first world person Well, he can keep a car looking as good as new for five even ten years. Sometimes in fact We all know somebody who's got a 20 or 25 year old car that looks like it just came off the showroom floor Well, I guarantee you're never gonna see that in Latin America down there It's a completely different world And it's no joke that a Latin American guy can have a new car looking like a wreck within six months In fact, you'd be hard-pressed to find any car That's six months old that doesn't have a few choice dings or scratches in it already It's amazing, but people even with new cars Don't get those little dings and scratches fixed and you know how different that is from in the first world Most first world guys
[26:28] I know wouldn't be seen driving a car around with a dent in it For a first world guy. Well, that'd just be too embarrassing. You are what you drive remember, but down in Latin America. Well Welcome to the world of embarrassment because down here down here the words upkeep Maintenance and oil change might just as well not exist in the Spanish vocabulary You've been listening to the expat files living in Latin America with me John Mueller Be sure to tune in every Monday and Wednesday at 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time For the expat files a one-of-a-kind show produced and compiled deep in the heart of Latin America The only show on the air that takes an honest look at what it's really like to live work play or simply retire in
