what PDQ said is true ... people from Latin America tend to feel closer in spirit to each other than they do, perhaps, to a cowboy in Montana or a Rabbi in New York."
No ... they are not as different as Irish and Sicilians they are somewhat the same .... fact being many of the populace of Uruguay, Brazil, the Argentine are decendents of non Iberian speaking European immigrants. In fact Che Guevera's father's name is Lynch (descendent from Ireland)
I'm pretty sure all Latin Americans are proud that Brazil will be hosting the Olympics.
