- ■ 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...
- Jay Cee Max
*This video is in no way intended to belittle or show disrespect toward the Salvadoran people and their culture.*
I hope you enjoy.
SUBSCRIBE to Jesus.
NOT to me. I am just a vessel
to remind you of this.
Stay tuned!!

- 🇸🇻 Negro In El Salvador. How Do I Feel So Far? 🤔
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, each classroom have a "Chele" and a "negro", each circle of friends too. Also in the families they use those terms, I'm "el negro" in my family and my brother is "el chele", it is just a cultural matter, no big issue.
I'm agree with you...
Aguevos
But often more times than not, it leads to issues. Regardless of whether it's cultural or not, it is still a form of discrimination. Like JayC said, just call me sir especially if you don't know me.
@@morrist8727 yea for a people with small brain it will be a problem i wont be mad if someone call me negro if i am negro it will piss me off if someone call me blanco and am negro 🤣🤣
My brother call me Chele and he's dark brown.
They used to called me "negro" as I was growing up there in El Salvador, please brother don't take to heart when they call you that, believe me they are not being racist.
My son nick name is Negro. And I'm Puerto rican. The racist word doesn't exist in our countries. Thank God
Si pero para ellos es ofensa. las personas siempre se tratan por su nombre y si no sé sabe se pregunta .
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.
Tell me the struggles of a “CHELE” in El Salvador? Can you compare it to lack of opportunities of others because of the color of their skin?
@nayib bukeli LA MERA VERGA if that’s the case you should tell them about your nationality, being ignorant is not an insult maybe they don’t know that there are other countries besides Mexico. We need to learn that there other nationalities and people from different backgrounds and learn to respect them and not say “well this is how we treat people here, if you don’t like it move on”
I am from El Salvador and all I can say is - Do Not assume that expressions are the same as in the USA (Assuming that's where you are from, I did not care to look further in your channel). Please do some more research before you travel to a foreign country. Salvadorans are very nice and Humble people and don't always mean bad.
OK the man said what he said and he explained himself are you deaf
@@bigwheelgaza33 maybe he should have done more research into our culture and not so much on our churches and he would have had a better experience.
Your people don't like black people
If you were a white norte american guy, people would call you "gringo" or "chele", we call ourselves with those words too, Just dont get offended, its not about racism, you are not in the USA where those words mean Other things.
Well said!! That narrows it down pretty good! Chino, Gordo, Flaco, Chele, Choco...! Todo es en termino de calidad
well explain my friend 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Correct he is not on the USA. Racism doesn't exist here in El Salvador.
@@AndreaAnua yeah right 😡🤡👎..
@@AndreaAnua I wouldn't go as far as to say it doesn't exist.
In Colombia when you visit that’s all you would hear , hola mi negro. There is a song call , no le pegues a la negra. Negro, is used in latinoamerica not to insult . Have a wonderful day friend
Very well explained !
You're right
Exacto yo a mi esposo le digo mi negro u eso no es racismo. Celia Cruz una estrella mundial ella no se enojaba porque le dijeran mi negra🤔
Estoy de acuerdo contigo 😀
@@bettymoreno4901 los cubanos ocupan esa palabra mucho y son afro descendientes.
In El Salvador 🇸🇻 calling someone negro or negra is like saying my love, or babe.
Seriously no joke 😅
true that. mamita used to call us all kind of names. negrito and negrita was a way to tell us she loved thee little ones. I guess only in America Negro is a synonym of oppressions and racisms because of the slavery.
Aquí es normal ese apodo para alguien bronceado, no es ofensivo, "Negro" es de cariño en este país. La gente no lo dicen en mala intención, aquí no existe eso de diferentes Razas porque todos somos mezcla.. Igual a las mujeres les dicen "Negra" pero normalmente se refiera a "mujer morena, linda"...
Él nos esta llamando racistas y punto, los gringos no quieren aceptar como nosotros hacemos las cosas, siempre quieren imponer como nos debemos comportar
no solo a las personas de color se les llama “negro” o “moreno” a las personas blancas se les dice “chele” o “chelito”. Y siendo de El Salvador eh escuchado más la palabra “chele” que “moreno”.
Si pero para los extranjeros es una ofensa
El completamente entiende eso, como lo expresa en el video. Te invito a que aprendas un poco mas a profundidad la historia de Estados Unidos y de los Afro-Americanos. (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. Tiene mucho significado aunque para nosotros no tanto.
pues juzgar a toda una nacion porque por un mal entendido eso no me gusta, se ve en el video que no habia intencion de ofender, si öa hubiera habiado lo apoyo, pero no.. es una usanza de el pais anfitrion, cuando visitas a un pais tienes que informarte un poquito de la cultura y adaptarte.. y antes de llegar informarte de las usanzas
A nosotros los morenos nos llaman ilegales y xq m boy a enojar si es verdad jajaja
Pareciera que la raza negra es más sensible y frágil especialmente la de Norteamérica porque por ejemplo yo no tengo resentimiento alguno a que cuando pasó por el mercado me digan Moreno o morenazo
Don't get offended for no reason. Here in El Salvador is normal the use of the word moreno/a. I prefer to say moreno instead of negro because it sounds softer. The man called you moreno and he told you he's moreno too, meaning that you guys are equals.
Very good comment . Even in El Salvador we call each other moreno and not because we are afro descendants it's normal for us .
I ALREADY EXPLAIN THIS TO JAY CEE...........BUT IT APPEARS TO ME THAT HE IS ACTING VERY EMOTIONAL AND DRAMATIC...........SINCE HE COMES FROM THE USA.
here in the USA 🇺🇸 black people call each other the N word.
@@jl9862 your right brother
So, I will remind you that you have a different skin color than mine, but I am going to use a softer word? WTF.
We call each other like “el negro” o “el chele” no like disrespecting. ....
I’m from El Salvador and my brother is pretty dark skin and we have called him negrito o Moreno since he was little it’s like a loving term we use down there I don’t believe they were being racist in anyway that’s just the culture there!
Personalmente, nunca he visto a alguien que lo llamen negro de forma despectiva. Aquí.
True my brother call me negra is with love he don’t mean to be meant he just show me that he love me 🥰
Pero qué decís. Debes tener mucha confianza para eso, así como tú con tu hermano, pero para un desconocido es mala educación, no hay que ser burros malcriados.
But why call him those names based on skin color?. Latin America is disgustingly colorist
You should not argue and don’t get offended because the term “moreno” or “negro” is not offensive. You should get insulted if you are having an argument and they call you “negro” is offensive
I can assure you he completely understands that. I invite you to learn more of the history of black men in the USA. Just then you'll have a better perspective on why he struggles to accept that word.
@@Andrxde7 you need to live in that country to learn the street language and the way people talk before making any judgment. I am well aware of the African American Slavery History just for your information we have our history too. Necesitas vivir en ese país para aprender el lenguaje de calle y la manera que hablan las personas antes de criticar.
@@arelymendoza2936 I have lived in both countries and I am also aware of the street languages.
If you are aware of the history, then just try understanding him. Don't judge or try to bring up arguments. As he said in the first minutes of the video. He understands that people may or may not say it in a racist way. He just doesn't feel comfortable with the word because of the history of African American in the USA. I'm not criticizing, I'm just trying to make you understand why he says what he says.
Indeed, we also have our piece of history. But is never going to be the same as a single story of a single African-American. It was way worst for them.
Literalmente lo que dijo en el vídeo fue que no le gusta que desconocidos en la calle le traten con respecto a su raza en vez de llamarle "señor" o similares. Él tiene derecho a sentirse de esa manera y lo aclaró al inicio del vídeo, no importa si es una palabra "de cariño".
Ah, y sí, soy de El Salvador y toda mi vida he vivido aquí.
did you even watch the video Arely and what he had to say? Or did you just read the title and decide to blindly comment?
That's how it is moreno means brown plus you are very offensive to people in other vids your are the only youtuber that I've seen that has made videos about el Salvador and complain about things
Forreal This dude thinks he’s hot shit all he’s doing is exploiting the country for views. should have left that victim mentality back in the states
🤣🤣 En el Salvador a cualquiera le decimos el negro, el seco, el chele, el gordo pero no es para ofender más bien para entrar en confianza..
When somebody call you "negro" its talking about your skin color, your aspect. It's not same meaning negro en USA. No hate. People don't know about african american history.
U are so right because theres not alot of african american people en el salvador. I rememver when i came to the usa in 1992 I was so mesmerize of the type of races we have here in the usa.
I'm agree with you
Prácticamente en El Salvador, decir negro o moreno a alguien muchas veces no lleva ninguna pisca de racismo, creo que se puede ver en la forma despectiva que se diga, para los salvadoreños es normal que a alguien se le diga negro o moreno, sin llegar a una ofensa por el color de piel, es difícil entender la cultura latina en ese aspecto.
I can see this is a sensitive subject, but you can rest assured the guy in your video did not mean to offend you at all. He literally said "I'm moreno, too". He was just trying to start a conversation with you. Was it a poor way to get a conversation started? Sure! Did he mean to say it in a peyorative way? No.
That is normal for us a Salvadoran we don’t have racism I learn that word in USA
Exactamente ,yo lo mismo aprendí que significaba la palabra racismo en los USA en español chingate esa ! No sabía que existia esa palabra en mi propio idioma.
When I lived in El Salvador there were other Black people, I've been called Moreno all my life and I do NOT find it offensive because I am a Moreno lol... anyways I don't like when you say SkinTax, its the accent bro, cus they know you a foreigner, not because your black. peace
This! Even if you moved to the usa from el salvador and come to visit youll still b charged more
Skintax no se refiere literalmente al color de piel
El decir negro, moreno etc entre los salvadoreños es algo normal aunque no lo seamos no lo tomes a mal viejo que eso no te afecte solo intenta involucrar el vocabulario
Eso es costumbre para los salvadoreños pero cuando uno ve a alguien de otro pais que no sabe que asi le hablan a las personas hay que ser educado y no tratarlas como si fueran de ese país porq cada quien tiene su propia cultura.
@@Mekiflores8769 es parte de la cultura. Se entiende que se tome a mal pero antes de ir a un lugar es bueno conocer la idiosincracia. A los blanco que vienen de Estados Unidos se les dice cheles o gringos. Es parte del cliché no digo que esté bien solo que es parte de el salvadoreño
Usted lo ha dicho!! "Entre Salvadoreños" pero él no lo es! Hay que ser respetuosos con las personas de otros países. No hay que tratar a las personas como tratan a sus mismos paisanos. Hay q saber respetar. Hay que recibir al extranjero con respeto.
Disculpa nos men, pero es muy común en mi país que sean de forma peyorativa dado que a veces nos insultamos de forma inusual como a los gorditos les llamen chichudos o a las gorditas gordas pero casi siempre sean de ese humor pero no lo hacen con forma de insultar pero pido disculpas en serio tu canal es muy interesante
I agree with your train of thought regarding being addressed as negro, versus señior. I was raised and taught we are all born bare ass naked. We are all equal. We all cry, bleed, hurt, etc. Treat everyone with the same respect. I do believe that cultural differences, in some situations, may seem uncomfortable. All one can do is be true to themselves. 🙏
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. Try to look at Salvadoreans society in the context of their history, and not as a US history textbook.
U nailed it👏💯
DAMN thank you
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. 🥰
Aquí en los Estados Unidos a uno se refrieren como “the Mexican guy”🤭
Confirmo
Aparte que en la cultura latina los sobrenonbres independientemente del color es parte de la idiosincracia normal de los pueblos ; aca en california a mi cunado mexicoamericano con piel mas oscura (brown) muchas veces le llamamos blackxican de carino sin ningun animo de ofender ; creo que independientemente del color de piel ..el respeto de los demas se gana con echos , no cuestionando a nadie ..
Ya pez chele
Exactly ! And I don't get offended about that .
@nayib bukeli LA MERA VERGA nayib cerote
FYI, my husband is a little darker than most salvadoreans, since he was little his family call him, negrito, o negro, they do it as a custom. They don’t say it in a demeaning way like they do in US
I understand that you might feel offended. I already explained to you, that to call somebody " negro" it's not offensive.
On the other side, I think you wrong trying to educate people, how to talk. Because its not your country. You come from a country that call you "negro" its derogatory. Not In El Salvador, jay cee.
Unless they say " negro $#@%$#".
Thats offensive
Well said ! Jay Cee and everybody else, listen to this man.
Yeah he should avoid Cuba and colombia they call each other Hola mi negro when they ran into you when they greed each other is like there hi bro what up
MORENO IS NOT AN OFFENSIVE TERM!!!!!! the type of people you run into in these streets are close minded and undereducated you have to blend in with them
fyi brother, "moreno" is not an offensive term.
Not to you, because you aren't Moreno. Why can't you all see this.
@@morrist8727 in USA big time offensive calling black

Uno de mis mejores amigos le llamamos negro de toda la vida pero nunca lo hemos hecho en forma de racismo, si no de cariño y creo que el 99% de los Salvadoreños llamamos negro de cariño a nuestros amigos, así que mi amigo Jaj Cee Max no te molestes y gracias por venir a nuestro país
My mom call me “Negra” because of my hair colour. And that’s a pet name for many Salvadoran girls (it’s just cultural).
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.
Tú tema es incorrecto en Latinoamérica lo que hay es una educación precaria eso sí es verdad y tú vas por un camino equivocado
No les hagas caso bro espero crezca tu canal bro y te vaya bien todos estos días te quiero bro
@nayib bukeli LA MERA VERGA de q ha las we v:?
in el salvador, it's not uncommon that a wife calls her darker skin husband, negro o moreno or even gordo, seco etc. They're not derogative terms, they're endearing terms for them.
Exactly Jay Cee , you are a person of color! The term “moreno” for us Hispanics means “ a person of color” , so please don’t be offended.
Love your videos! Good job! God Bless!
No it just simply means dark skin
It's not offensive term. To bad some people make everything racial. I say that as a person of color. You have to study the culture of places you visit I guess.
Keep up your amazing reporting on your tourism, I'm loving your videos!! I'm glad you're visiting eastern El Salvador, which isn't known as well to American and European tourists.
Well, they don't like being called moreno or gringo but they call us "third world" not knowing it's offensive to us.
That's the pg 13 version. They call us worst.😡
In simple words: people just call themselves like that and it’s not offensive, they don’t meaning on the meaning or disrespectful way at all, whatsoever!!!
Great job my friend!!
Así es la cultura de aca de el Salvador amigo. ( es de cariño) 👍
Hay una cierta confusión, los salvadoreños no somos rasistas 🤣 solo que nos sentimos.... Atraídos diría yo, por no ver tan habitualmente una persona de color
Desafortunadamente, la realidad es que hay mucho racismo de nosotros hacia personas de color. Pensamos que si usamos esos apodos que normalmente usamos con nuestras familias "no hay racismo" pero la realidad es que siempre se tiende a categorizar a las personas morenas de una manera negativa. 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.
Hi Jay Cee 👋 I'm glad you're in our country 🇸🇻. Please don't feel uncomfortable due to term (negro) We are very friendly. Only God knows why he made us different. I came to the 🇺🇸 at an early age of 14. I had never seen an Afro American before and I've learned in High school about U.S. history of slavery. All central American countries had slavery except El Salvador 🇸🇻 due to our geographic in the Pacific Ocean. I thank you 😊so much for your visit and bring us so much happiness in your videos. May God bless you 🙏
You guys did have slavery. It was abolished in 1825 after Haiti & Chile..? What school taught you otherwise lol
I Been watching all your videos about my country . I just can say thank you because you trying to show the good face of the country .
In my thoughts I consider "Moreno" is not offensive
Like white people we call them "cheles"
Exactly ! This guy is speaking because the lot of discrimination in the United States but he is now in Latin America where is completely different .
Are you a Moreno? I bet you aren't. So how would you know if it is offensive or not? It's definitely offensive.
@@jl9862 yo le Sugeriría a Jay Cee no ir a los mercados o el centro. El visita lugares que ni los mismos Migueleños van si visitara areas un poco mejor no creo que le llamaran Moreno o Chele a mi los vendedores ambulantes me llaman chelita y no lo soy pero no me importa pues no me siento discriminada.

Congrats on 11k bro! Told you you are blowing up, will pass me by weeks end! You deserve it! God bless!
El Salvador videos help grow channels or views.
@@melysand if philippines dont open soon i may head there.. looks like fun with great people and great food!
In Mexico and Central America, the word “MORENO” is an affection, a respect for people of color.
It’s not what you're thinking, nothing to do with racism.
Regards...
Salvadoreñas are not too sensitive to the word “Moreno” do not be so sensitive you are not in America. It is a term of endearment mannnn. Relax and take it easy
Me agradan tus videos, espero y tu canal siga creciendo; bendiciones, amigo.
Creo que la gente está muy cultutalizada por la influencia de la tv, peliculas y series estadounidenses, por ello ciertos patrones de conducta estereotipados, como salvadoreño consideró que un racismo como tal no existe, más si un clasismos
Hello, I'm Salvadoran, and as you know, here it is not offensive to be called, "Negro, Moreno, chele or Chino" It's only offensive if you're told in an discusion, but here people say it Friendship Or affection My friends call me negro, and my mother calls me My Negrito.A greeting from San Salvador and have a good time in our country
People in El Salvador is like that if you have curly hair they call you “coloco” if you are short person they call you chaparro, is not about skin color, la gente está acostumbrada a usar mucho los nickname which is not funny for all people.
We love You Jay Cee! 💞 gracias por visitar El Salvador! Greetings from Virginia! 😃🙏
Cuando vayas a un mercado, la gente siempre sera mas racista, si vas a un lugar turístico o a parques de la ciudad, la gente será menos racista.
En los mercados, aveces te dicen "moreno" por ser cariñosos o amables de cierta manera.
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. ;)
Tú eres una persona como cualquiera de nosotros dios te bendiga y gracias por venir al el salvador eres una persona con un gran corazón
Disculpa j cuando venimos a la usa 🇺🇸 entendemos todo sobre discriminar
Eso es cierto
La discriminación en 🇺🇸 es latente.
mientras que en la * CULTURA LATINA * son palabras sin odio racial, al contrario ya muchos le hemos dicho a: Jay Cee, que es de cariño. 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.
Y dicho sea de paso, es una gran vergüenza ver a 2 personas “adultas” discutir por un tema racial tan estupido.
En El Salvador o cualquier otro país latino la gente adulta o a veces inclusive en los jóvenes no se complican la vida porque los llamen negro.
hace falta aprender más de las culturas latinas y elevar más él autoestima para que no te dé ni frío ni calor cuando alguien te llame negro. También aprender a discernir las intenciones en la cual la gente se dirige a ti.
Digo, seas negro o chele.
Es cierto en usa la descriminacion es latente sin encargó en el salvador desde que eres un niño te dicen negrito y es de cariño cuando crece eres negro y es como un sobre nombre y nadie se enoja por eso están los cheles los canelas ya es como parte de la cultura latina cuando uno viaja a otros países tiene que ser de mente abierta por qué habrá muchas cosas que no entenderemos ya de por sí el español es complicado entre nosotros los latinos imagina para un turista con otro idioma
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.
you don't have to apologize because the , moreno or negro for us is not offensive I'm not black person and I was call moreno by my Friends when i was little. so definitely you did not grow up in el Salvador because you dont understand the concept behind Moreno or negro when someone says moreno or negro in a friendly way.
@@MC.M.A.C I really do not understand your message but if you feel that you can explain yourself in Spanish better, go ahead or maybe you didn’t understand what I wrote. We are adults and we are not here to fight but we are here to exchange thoughts so we can appreciate each other, it’s one world and we all live in it.
you are very intelligent person but your mind is lacking because you cannot judge something you don't understand or feel better than others judge your self first to judge others my friend .
@@MC.M.A.C I’m still without words because I can’t understand what you are trying to say.
you should understand, because you're intelligent enough to understand but I not here to lecture you, you're very intelligent and educated person not like me I'm from el salvador so I'm not educated.
Me encantan tus videos....entiendo perfectamente lo quieres demostrar...pero ya lo dijistes..la palabra "moreno es de cariño...🤗 ojala aprendamos....Bendecido dia y gracias por grabar en mi ciudad San Miguel..no todos somos asi i love my friend😍
A very heartfelt video JCM. Love and good vibes from Canada my friend.
Honestly I think it's most offensive when rappers say nigga.. if they can throw that word around, then that is even fair play.. now the other part with the er is very derogatory I think the people there mean no harm.. that's just my opinion.. God bless brother!
@nayib bukeli LA MERA VERGA dude, are you ok in the head?
@nayib bukeli LA MERA VERGA are you ok?
I mean ….. you got a point lol 😂 this coming from a Morenita(light brown) this is true. It was hard dealing with the constant reminder of not being lighter as my little brother. I was called morenita but he was praised for his skin color “aww my beautiful chelito looks like an angel from above with blondish hair! I knew it was wrong and as an adult I understood why 😂 Ive seen it in many cultural families as well and I think many are in denial😆
yes, i guarantee they don't think it's an issue and they don't think it's an insult but colorism is a problem in el salvador and other latin american countries for sure
@@pastspiral4797 I love that you knew I was salvi from my expression alone lol. Yes! Agreed! Even in the black community. My thing is how can we demand changes to the people who push these countries forward if we ourselves treat each other like this? How can an immigrant ask for equality? When even within our people we are divided amongst ourselves and denigrating our worth as humans.
Here in El Salvador is very common to call you like the color of your skin, they call white people "chele" and even call other people like the characteristic that stands out the most about you, for example: some friends call me "Chinese" because of my eyes even when I'm not Chinese. Don't get offended.
Hello Jay- so sorry you feel offended and totally understand- I wish I was there to explain a bit more our Salvadorean culture. The one thing I can say is that those did not mean to offend you. Safe travels my friend
He understands very well how we do things but he is still an american trying to INPOSE his americanism onto us and call us racist and this is why the US never solves their racism problem
I agree with what Jay Cee is discussing here, we are soooo used to, the use of discriminatory terms disguising them as being terms of endearment and a cultural upbringing, such as calling any person from the Far East "Chinito", whether they are Japanese, Laotian, Cambodian, Vietnamese, etc. they are all "Chinitos." We are still in the process of learning and eventually, we will learn NOT to use "mis-acculturation" terms as we get more exposure to the outside world... yeah we will learn... patience... we will learn.
I knew some people that when I asked them what is your name they told me you can call me "chino" even though a close friend to me he told me I like that people call me by my Nickname because I feel we are close. If the word "negro" is bad "chele" should be too. This man is having a culture shock, is normal.
It should be taken as it is. why make everything negative?There's nothing negative about it, its just a way to describe people you have your negro o guero or short or curly or whatever its not bad until someone makes it so
Its like people calling every Latin person Mexican hum some people get offended for some unknown reason but im sure whoever called them that wasn't trying to be mean
I dont get offended much if they call me short its probably cause I am lol
Ugh I hate that everything is so negative and offensive I live by my motto ... don't worry be happy and that's what I want to pass on to my kids
U dont even know what u talking about dude shut up, where u from??
When a came to the U.S i was surprised when i learnt that the word "negro" is considered discriminatory.
In our latin american culture even the music says " negrito" or "negra` when they sing about their significant other
De todos modos aunque te llamen señor eres un señor negro,o esque acaso tu mismo no aceptas tu propia raza?uno no debe de aguevarse de su raza
In El Salvador when some call Moreno to some is like saying friend! I understand how you feel because you don’t know our culture. I call me negro to my husband, don’t worry everything is with love in there.
I'm salvadoreño and I can assure you that when we call someone moreno, is not to discriminate someone like they do it in usa, we don't use it to offend anyone all my moreno friends call me chele and I never got offended cuz I know they won't called me that to offend me. so get used to be called moreno and if you see some white you can call them chelle they won't get offended we are proud of being all salvadorian, and you are welcome here any time
Your attitude is everything!! 😭😭❤️❤️ I love it! I love how humble you are and how you aren’t afraid to greet people doesn’t matter where you’re at! God bless! Illl continue watching from VA
Bro I'm a new subscriber and been liking your videos. But I have a question. What is your purpose in el salvador ? What are you trying to show the world of el salvador ?
To me it seems like you tryna make the people of el salvador look bad.
Its not their fault there is no black people in the country so u shouldn't put yourself in that position. Just walk and people won't bother u. But when u stop and talk to them of course they will question.
There are black people in the country bro its central America
@@dodidanidagr8197 you said it central America in another country not in el sal
@@erubio9721 thats what I'm saying too
@@zeropaja1552 bruh ive been to el Salvador most people there have some type of black in them not fully black but u can tell
@@zeropaja1552 he's talking about u
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.
Hey man, I understand all these comments and I love your videos 😄😄 its okay to Feel offended as your culture is different ❤️❤️ and I'd love to meet you I really like your videos, I'd like to give you a tour through San Miguel.
Mi hermano , I thank God nothing bad happened to you . Wile in El Salvador , I appreciate , you taking the time to learn about our culture . However; we Salvadorans abroad will cry wolf wolf when we feel mistreated in the States . Yet don’t have a problem acting the same back home . Just a thought , not a Sermon ! How you ended up in Jucuaran is beyond me , that area has been neglected for years . Blessings muchacho , too young to be call señor !
Jay I had to live the same situation but the opposite end . I was lucky to live in west africa in the eighties and I attended a public school. There were only 10 "white" students. The students usedt to called me "la blanche" which in french means the white girl. So I completely understand how you feel. I am glad you are visiting my country!!☺️
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.
@@AlanBatres did you watch the video or did you just have trouble following it? He clearly understood the situation and understands it perfectly from a cultural perspective. Watch it again and listen to what he's saying. His experiences are his, not yours. It's not about you.
We do and that’s why we’re trying to make him understand that is not a form of racism and Salvadorians are not racist or mean.
@@diego_SanSalvador I watched the entire video and I enjoyed it, as a matter of fact. It’s a really nice travel vlog. My reply is more about your comment that seems really out of topic.
@@mario1rz ^ another person who had trouble following the video and what Jay Cee had to say.
It’s kind of an endearment when they call you Moreno. I’m dark skin Salvadoran and I get that a lot.
People use to call me negro too and I am Salvadorian
"I am not here to VLOG, I am here to LEARN!" Powerful words that were thought provoking. This was not only an interesting video, it also had social impact and could be a learning experience for others. Well Done Jay Cee Max!!!
Thank you for this video Jay! I am from the US; my husband is Salvadoran and we currently live in El Salvador. 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!
This is something that is embeded in our culture, imposible to change. I am a triqueña, my brother is chele, brother in law a moreno. 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.
@@idaliacarela6125 you couldn’t of said it better tho that part!!!
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! ❤️ 🥰
For us there is not racist saying negro o moreno, we don't have the term "RACISM" is just in USA but latin people we don't have that. 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, 👍🏻🔥🔥🔥
Aquí en El Salvador es muy común que te llamen por tu tono de piel, pero no lo hacemos por ofensa lo hacemos como simple caliche,por ejemplo: “hola Chele”, “hola mi negro”, es simple caliche salvadoreño. Saludos
Si creo que los salvadoreños somos todo menos racistas
You should make another video responding to our comments. I’m looking forward.
Please dont feel bad when we say Moreno its not in a disrespectful or descriminatory way! Thats how we call each other between friends, you hear it all the time!
I was in Mexico with a Chinese friend of mine .. Here are a few phrases are heard more than once .
“ Hey Bruce Lee buy some sunglasses ?
“ Jackie Chan ! , but some tequila! “
They had smiles on their faces , I’m sure they didn’t mean it to be racism .. but I guess is . Cheers Jay Cee . 😎😎😎
Si moreno lo dicen por cariño 🥰 no significa resista..
Still your the jay cee i know ever since dont mind about that cuz we know or i know your purely and absulutely amazing in and out.. We connot please every body 9:54 it is what it is
Btw to you sir 4:03 for the concern.. Ingat palagi jaycee and godbless cheers to your success you made it ohh yeah 🤙
Bendiciones brother, gracias por compartir tus videos... pasala bien. !!!!
I completely agree with you! I never understand why people used this type of adjective, this need to be only for ID or essential information, but for the other hand in El Salvador is very usual to refer to others with nicknames or specific adjectives.....
God bless you Jay-C I hope you could learn more about our culture and see all good qualities that almost all Salvadorean have!
Lo peor es que luego se excusan con que "es una palabra de cariño" 🙄 Jay Cee tiene todo el derecho a sentirse como se siente, pero parece que eso sí le ofende mucho a los blanco-mestizos de los comentarios.
@@Gigi-qx7nk Giselle tenes razón, son excusas baratas y es indignante 😡 me pregunto yo ¿que pasaría si él se hubiese referido así con adjetivos a las personas? Pero bueno la educación no esta en las escuelas y en las calles, SE EMPIEZA en casa .
Saluditos Giselle 🙂😊
Yeah we do. As a Salvadoran we call a white person “ Chele “
All my life I've been "Morena or negrita" to my family and friends and my brother is light skinned so all his life he's been "el chele" bro its nothing bad. To me it's love cuz they never called us negra or chele to make us feel bad. It was always out of love. I don't think you understand our culture.
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.
Hi jay cee ,thanks for teaching us about sabador the world is like a book,any one born and has never traveled out of his or her birth place reads only one chapter of a book, one country represent one page of a book, the more countrys you travel to the more chapters of the book you read, they say travelling is part of education...... i wanna be like you brotherly.
Lamentablemente son vulgarismos ( forma de hablar coloquialmente ) el cual en otros lados se ven mal, aquí no por lo mismo que creces así, con esa forma de hablar peculiar,pero eso no significa que esta mal,hay más gente buena que mala,no juzgues a todos por igual porq no es asi
brother don't be Take offense when they call you dark because that's a loving way of treating people of Colour. At least I am a person of color my skin is dark and they call me Moreno or there are times that they call me white but they don't do it to offend
I agree with you! It is cultural, ignorance, since they do not understand that treating a person because of the color of their skin is offensive, and often discriminatory, however, for the majority of Salvadorans we are not that way, we treat the person as a HUMAN BEING !!!
Thanks for visiting my country. I watched two videos so far and I love them, I'm from Sonsonate, El Salvador. I went to San Miguel only two times when I was living there. You're doing great. Greetings from Maryland!!
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.
Apologize for any typo but my phone is in spanish so...
Youre american not salvadorian
Hola "señor" negro !!!
Love it 😂
I really enjoy your videos I was born and raise in Cali but my parents are from el Salvador always wanted to visit but couldn't cuz it's dangerous, but it's really nice seeing your videos of el Salvador it showed me how beautiful the motherland is. Keep these videos up it's really good can't wait til you get more subscribers
Don't feel bad about the comments or people, I live in Canada and just because of my skin colour they assume the I am Mexican, so they call me Mexican very often. Back in El salvador my step father calls my sister negra
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.
