  • ■ SAN MIGUEL, EL SALVADOR: I LOVE El Salvador. I am NOT mad about anything. This video is tense but I am OK and do NOT have a sour taste about anything. I am just sharing so you can know my feelings, not get into a debate with anyone.
    I implore everyone to watch the video from beginning to end BEFORE making a comment because my words go deeper than the usual "It's our culture," "We don't see color like the U.S.A.," "We don't mean it in a bad way" and "We say it as a cute nickname" responses. I know El Salvador is a PEACEFUL place and there are no hard feelings. Let's enjoy this video...

    I hope you enjoy.

    I’m Salvadoran and I grew up in the US. The Salvadoran education system is awful because of government corruption. Every day people don’t have access to knowing their history. I had to teach my cousin who arrived from El Salvador about how MS 13 started in the US, and my father about the indigenous massacre of 1932.
    Racism in the US manifested in segregation. Racism in Latin America manifested in the governments desire to mix as much European blood within a country to erase indigenous and black ancestry. El Salvador has a deep history of indigenous rights violations, pushes for European migration, and limitations of immigration of people of Asian, Black and Arab ancestry especially throughout the dictatorship of Maximiliano Hernández Martínez.
    It’s a poor country with minimal education and the byproduct of hundreds of years of government corruption, racism, genocide and brainwashing. People are just trying to survive and enjoy their lives with their families despite all of this. They’re not going to be PC the way the US has worked to be. The US has tons of wealth BECAUSE of their exploitation of black and brown bodies within the US and OUTSIDE, especially in countries like El Salvador.
    I always believe you can’t blame the people, you have to blame the systems. BUT, the people are a product of the systems, and therefore Salvadorans, like much of Latin America, have internalized racism BEYOND they’re awareness. The colonizers won. We can separate ourselves and call it terms of endearment. We can call someone negro, and not realizing we’re othering. Es la falta de la educación y la falta de diversidad en nuestra cultura y no le hecho la culpa a la gente sino el gobierno.

    In El Salvador is really “normal” to call someone by their skin color. As for example, people usually call me “chele”, which means “white” and is not in an offensive way. It’s just what it is. Same when they call “moreno” to someone. As you mention, it’s about the culture in El Salvador and people usually don’t say it to offend you, that doesn’t even cross their minds. I can say that we don’t get that “offended” about it as in any other countries.

(como los blancos se enriquecieron en base a la esclavitud de los afroamericanos; por eso los blancos viven en casas gigantes y tienen una gran ventaja en la sociedad) De esa forma podrás tener una perspectiva en por que a el le cuesta muchísimo escuchar esa palabra.

    Jaycee, if you’re thin skinned “you need not travel”... if you want to feel comfortable, you can always stay home in the states. You want to feel more in the neighborhood, you can always travel to Haiti, Panama or the Caribbean islands. Nobody forced you to go to a country in Central American that happens to be 80%+ Mestizo(Native American-Spanish or European) , 5%-10% Full Native American and around 10% of full European descendant. Unlike our neighbors, there’s just a barely noticeable hint of African genes in the country, no more than 0.01 or 0.02 identify as black... with most of those being very mixed. This percent is historically low due to El Salvador never receiving more than 10,000 Africans during the whole 300 year colony process. Additionally, the country passed “Race immigration” laws from the 1900’s onward that prohibited the settling of African migrants in the territory. The country had always had a large Native American population that would “quite frequently” rise in revolt to kill Europeans and foreigners, both before and after independence. These natives my family tell me, had a collective memory of remembering that Africans had been used as “Infantry troops” during the colony and after independence to suppress native revolts under orders from the white masters/Landowners. Natives, per Spanish Courts were “not” allowed to be “slaves” or work as “soldiers for the crown”... this as they were not “trusted”. So yeah, African troops did not endear themselves to the population. In recap, the small African population was absorbed in the general population and only a facial feature here and there can be seen. Also, there is no cultural or Culinary traditions from the colonial Africans to the country, it’s almost as if the descendants preferred to adapt to the larger Native Culture. A sign of the dysfunctional relation from Salvadorans to Africans is that even darker skinned Salvadoreans get mistaken or asked if they are from Honduras or Nicaragua. I’ve been a witness to this myself. In the present, the population is very homogenous, even European descendants brag and claim to have “native blood in them”... even if they really don’t. It’s been my experience that many Europeans in El Salvador either forgot where they came from or emigrated at a time that Europe did not have “defined bordes”, therefore their ancestors where quick to embrace the new world. It feels like they don’t want the general population to see them as “outsiders”, but in reality they can only identify as Salvadoran as they don’t feel they can identity as European. Also, make note, in popular culture, the darker child in the family is called the “Moreno or negro”, this does carry a passive “racist” overtone... however, it’s not interpreted as such by the population as “there are no African population in the country to be compared to” and “Moreno/negro” can be interpreted as a “darker skin tone shade”. 500 years of European colonial history, and 2,000+ years of Native American history is hard make sense of even in a small country, the population is a product of this mixing of native and Euro centric culture.

    Calling you brown or black is not for the purpose of labeling you by skin color, rather it is like calling you for something that stands out in you (something positive) and that is not common but is worthy of admiration, like speaking affectionately when you do not know knows you. 🥰

    I am french Canadian Salvadoran and I know what is racism (trust me) but Salvadoran are straight forward when it comes to express an opinion.....but with no intention to hurt.
    In my experience Salvadoran (outside El Salvador) are the best friends of black people.. we just get along and we feel like family.
    I know for a fact that Salvadoran do not speak to people that do not feel comfortable with or feel at danger.
    If people is calling you moreno is just because they feel comfortable , BUT if you do not like to be called moreno ... you are in your total right to let people know that you do not like it AND people should respect it.

El tiene mucha razón. Por que no decirle "señor" o "muchacho" si eso es lo que usan con las demás personas. Lo que si estoy de acuerdo es que la ignorancia se derriba por la falta de contacto con personas que son diferentes, ya que con cualquier persona asiática también se usa el término "chino" que no es lo correcto.

    Hello Jay Cee,
    Wow! What a great video. Thank you for sharing this and giving us a tour of the outside grounds of la 'Capilla Medalla Milagrosa'. I am from San Miguel, El Salvador and cannot believe how close you were to the house where I grew up. It was literally just around the corner from there. I believe, across the street- adjacent to la capilla is a funeral home, and around the corner from the funeral home is where I lived as a little girl. Truly brought back fond memories. My mother and I used to go to that capilla. My mother was a really good friend with a lady who worked there. This was many, many years ago, of course.
    I have been enjoying your videos, a lot. Especially the ones from San Miguel. Out of curiosity, if you happen to read my comment... what made you visit El Salvador and specially San Miguel? There are other departments in El Salvador that are very beautiful to visit. Lately, I've been watching other videos and see that Guatemala would be another great country to visit. Very beautiful.
    Take care of yourself. Oh, and I'm so glad that you don't let that bother you anymore. I wish some people would understand what you are trying to say, unfortunately many don't get it. I do, señor. ;)

Lastimosamente no podemos obligarlo a que acepte ese trató aunque sea de cariño de parte de la gente. Yo comprendo que hayan personas bien cuadradas y es entendible, han vivido toda su vida en una cultura opresiva por el tema racial.
      es un trauma de antaño pero no por eso vamos a victimizar toda la vida.
      No se, si me explico???
      Por ejemplo; el martes en mi trabajo presencié una disputa racial entre 2 personas, Una anglosajona y otro afroamericano. Literalmente el anglosajón sacudió al afroamericano y lo llamó nigga, enseguida el afroamericano reaccionó. Es como si automáticamente con esa palabra q no venga de entre ellos mismos los hace reaccionar a la ofensiva y defensiva. Comprendo q en casi todas las ocasiones se marca muchísimo el racismo. Por eso yo pienso q algunos casos son traumas, en otros casos son para victimizarse acerca de la esclavitud y muchas veces les sirve para ganarse el temor de las otras razas, lo cual tampoco es correcto. en total, o acepto el cariño de la gente según su cultura, o rechazo y sigo siendo cuadrado.

    Brother
    First and foremost I would like to apologize for my people. I was born in El Salvador but grew up in NY since I was 8 years old and with that said I’m going to give you the best educated answer that you can find. People in El Salvador have not been educated on what to say and what not to say, Salvadorans in General are very humble people and would give their shirt of their back regardless of your race or religion. Salvadorans tend to call the chubby kid “gordo”, the skinny kid “seco”, the white kid “chele”, and the dark kid “negro”. I do believe as Salvadoran people we need to educate our young to become more aware of our words that may cause harm to others. I hope that you enjoy the stay in El Salvador and enjoy the beaches, the mountains, the cities, the food and most of all the people.

    My grandmother used to call me “mi negro” because she was light skin and I’m brown. To be called Moreno or Negro is not bad. Black people are rare in El Salvador. But we don’t mean it in the same aspect a person in the US. Salvadoran are not racist. Don’t take offense! But you are right, we need to refer to people differently.

    Great video! Racism (and classisim) is endemic in El Salvador, and as you can see from the comments, discussing these topics, especially racism, makes people uncomfortable, but it needs to be done. It's a shame most of the people commenting can't empathize with you or see the issue from your point of view, they just feel the need to tell you how you should feel or react. Things are changing, slowly, but they're changing. Keep up the great work.

      I speak for myself when I say that I do understand his point of view and I respect it. But when you go to a country you can not expect people to change their culture just because you don’t feel comfortable about it. It should be the other way around, the person visiting that country should try to see the point of view of the people and respect it.

I have had such a hard time trying to explain this to him (although he is learning) and especially to his friends or other Salvadorans. You explained this so well, understanding the cultural side and deciding not to be offended, however still showing that it doesn't make it right or inoffensive. I truly believe God can use this video to help people understand more and love each other better. Thank you for how you let God use you in all you're doing and sharing it with us!

In the US you are a black or white you are not allowed to fully accept who you are. My husband is Dominican, in Dominican they call my brother who is chele, mi negro, they also call me, mi negra, my son is also negro. You can't get offended. But I do appreciate how in latinamerica you don't have to choose between black and white because there is so much more in between.

    Jay Cee, let me start by saying I’m so delighted you’ve chosen El Salvador as one of your picks to visit and explore! My motherland has so many hidden treasures that I myself haven’t gotten the pleasure to explore. I was born in El Salvador but came to the USA at a very young age. Growing up I was always called “negrito” by family members. Mind you that I have olive skin tone however, I was the darkest one in my family. In my country people tend to use this words as a term of endearment (as you explained) with those they love or simply with people they are fond of. However, having growing up in USA, I completely understand where you are coming from. But I wanted to re-assure you, they are saying it out of love! ❤️ 🥰

It depends how they call you, if they are angry mad or upset and call you negro, that will sound different and they add something else to offend you, but they act happy when they see Foreigner visiting us in our Nation. Thank you for coming to El Salvador, 👍🏻🔥🔥🔥

    It is not just the color of skin that is used as a term of endearment. We also call our friends or children “thin”, “fat”, “short”, etc. Any physical attribute that makes you look different from other members of a group is used as part of your social identity.

    I’ve been called negra/negrita my whole life by loved ones... never by strangers out of the blue especially as a greeting. Growing up I viewed it as just a description of me that stood out like a term of endearment. BUT, this year I finally decided to visit the motherland for the 1st time in 14 year (I’m salvi American) and realized the effect of being a beautiful shade of brown out there... for instance I got pulled over 3 times within my first month driving in ES and not for speeding, just for a “random stop.” That’s too many times.
    Back to my point. El Salvador is a prejudice country. But it’s a little more complex than that. Salvis themselve are a large part black and indigenous, but they refuse to admit that at a systematic level. If I’m not mistaken, ES is the only country in Central America that does not recognize their black population. That means that politically ES doesn’t claim their blackness because they feel some type a way about it. This “some type of way” feeling then gets played out at a social everyday level.
    I was curious of what a black (non Afro salvi) experience in ES would be. I’m glad you brought this up.
    Regardless, love my people. Love my country. There is a black pride wave hitting in ES at this moment. That gives me faith that we will do better✊🏾

      It is not that we refuses to be Black. We do not see many Black people in our country, for most of us it is a surprise to see someone Black for that reason When someone says we are part Black it is almost unbelievebable because we do not see many Black salvadorians, how can we normalize something we do not see? I Mean it is not a prejudice.
      However, there is a small group of Black people that are talking about This, there is small community of Black salvadorean people talking about This and letting us know they do existe which is good. Negro/moreno/Black it is not a bad word with bad meaning for us. It is just something that describes you like chele/White, we do not see racism in that word, we also use that word in a lovely term my negrito. Every family has a lovely negrito/moreno/Black as well as a chino/Chinese, chele/White person. It is just a way to describe somebody for that reason many people do not understand it can offend somebody because they do not know what it means for other people.

    Sorry for not having a good education about dark skin colour but I don't know if notice the we don't have black people in El salvador witch is not a excuse to call people like that.
