I haven't heard the word "Bayunco" in such a long time
My mom says that to my bro
On god
Lol
@@mostoftenseenanalyzing salvadorian lol
What about Pisto? You ever call someone out on their paja?
Where my Salvadorans at!?
@ LOS ANGELES , CALI !!!
🇸🇻
Isn't it salvadorian?
🤚🏼
I wasn’t born there I was born in Cali but my dad is from El Salvador and my moms dad was too👀😂
I love it when Curly calls us his little papitas fritas
HOW CUTE🍟
We need merch
Too much spice! ❤️
That makes me hungry
@@karyordonez9664 OMG YESSSSSS
I have traveled to El Salvador and let’s me tell you it’s beautiful regardless of the violence.
It is.
I'm always pumped whenever I get a chance to go
I think us Salvadorans have to stop talking about our own country under the identity of violence. Yes it has violence and crime but so does every other country in the world. The beauty of our country and our people is so much more than whatever issues we have.
Claro que va ser bonito!
Been to el Salvador several times the food the people absolutely love it
Every SINGLE Country has violence idiot
I'm Boricua not Salvadoran but I looove hearing people being proud of their country and culture! It's so beautiful and inspiring👏👍
ME TOO & Im CUBAN, GREAT COMMENT !!
I couldn't have said it better myself
If it makes you happy there’s many of us Rican salvy 🇵🇷🇸🇻 mixes
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽✊🏾✊🏾
Coquito
y’all forgot nuegados 😔
I felt that bro, nuegados are life
Yes. God I love nuegados!! 😍
My husband is Mexican, I took him to eat nuegados 😉 Damn, He was so thankful that he met me 😂
Yup
And I don’t think they included the casamiento it’s delicious
The one thing i remember about when i told someone Im Salvadoran and they said "oh that's in Mexico" like did you go to school el salvador is its own country
HOW IGNORANT, PEOPLE EDUCATE YOURSELVES !!
It's lower Mexico.
I am Salvi but I don't know why I got along much better with. Whites and Asians....one time I was messing with a Mexican friend... He called me cerote..I laughed so I called him pinche culero chingado HE was so mad...I couldn't understand it....I though we were just messing... He called bad names and I'm OK...I called him a bad name and he is so mad...what?? Put up or shut up...one time n school they were celebrating Las Fiestas PatriAS..so we brought our national flag....the Mexicans almost destroy the auditorium..
Lol even in school they don’t teach us about countries in the south tbh. Atleast In my school they didn’t
Now that I think about it we do curse a lot, my grandpa cursed all the time lol. Salvi pride🇸🇻💕
My old man is exactly the same way. He always calls me ce**te all the time.
Lol yeah my mom and my grandpa both do it lol 😂
The father of my children is the same way he curses every 3 secons!! 😧 , we're divorced 😀
roro926 both of my parents are salvi and don’t curse. Depends on what part of El Salvador you come from.
@@djboost123 I DISAGREE WITH YOU, IT DEPENS ON YOUR UPBRINGING , STRUCTURE & VALUES THAT WERE INSTILLED IN YOU BY YOUR PARENTS☺ NOT WHAT COUNTRY OR CITY THEY'RE FROM.
Lol my mans said “ where Mexican is”😂
La Princesa I’m Mexican American and hearing that made me cringe 😂😂 lol
It’s Mexico 🇲🇽 viva Mexico
Lola MG stfu no one likes y’all
Abigail Henríquez clearly we’re more liked than y’all lmao
He’s uneducated like the people he was speaking about.
💙 ive never related to a video so much 😭
Si, pero we're coming up though! 🤗
Me to 😭
people think everyone who speaks spanish are mexican like not everyones from mexico😂
Jasmine Vazquez besides the FACT that Spanish is a European language, no one should assume 😂😂😂
Hell even my black Spanish speaking ass got asked if I was Mexican
@@awesomeirlable same!!! I'm not Latino at all and people think I'm afro-mexican
100% RIGHT, PEOPLE NEED TO EDUCATE THEMSELVES , & REALIZE THAT LATINOS COME FROM SO MANY DIFFRENT COUNTRIES, NOT JUST MEXICO!!
@@awesomeirlable WOW 😂
Shout out to the DMV, Salvadorans migrated and took over this nation's capital lol
Wdym?
Agreed! There is definitely a lot of Salvadorans in the DMV area.
We out here 🤠
agree ! I work in a area called langley park and it’s so many salvadorenos out here 😂😂
Yup we sure did 😁😆😁
I feel lucky to have been brought up in East Hollywood. The majority of Latinos are Central American. So I've never felt like the minority. So many Salvadoran restaurants and other Central American restaurants around the neighborhood.
I AGREE WITH YOU, I'M FROM CALI TOO😀 plus all the Salvadorian festivals during the summer in LA, THERES ABOUT 5 OF THEM IN THE SUMMER😀 SALVIS ARE VERY PATRIOTIC!!
I grew up in the same area, so I relate to you. Then I moved to Louisville, KY and it’s been the hardest thing I’ve done in my life. That’s when I realized what being a minority felt like. But it’s made me even more proud of my Salvadoran culture.
Claudia Reinhardt so much for diverse??
Yup! Little Armenia shoulda been Pulgarcito district Los Angeles! East Hollywood was mostly Salvadoreños now these clowns are gentrifying it beyond recognition but that’s another topic!
CURLY represents us!!! I was so proud when I found out he’s Salvadorian!!🙏🏼❤️
This is insightful and beautiful to watch about the Salvadoran experience in the US. I’m Mexican and I grew with a Salvadoran best friend whose family treated me so good as if I was family to them, I remember my friends grandma always speaking about her pulgarcito and the joy in her eyes when she talked about it . I admire Salvadoreños so much, the hardships and struggles that you’ve been through is tough but to watch you persevere is inspiring . Very humble people and prideful of their pulgarcito. I love Salvadoran food ❤️ I send my hugs and love to all salvadoreños ❤️ se les quiere un chingo 🇸🇻🇲🇽❤️ I wish my Mexican people were more abiertos and less ignorant and I apologize for all the shit they say, just know not all of us have that dislike for you. Many of us do like salvis ❤️
Thank u!
I’m Salvadoran and Mexican 🥰 , my dad is Mexican and my mom is Salvadoran but my dad’s family didn’t like my mom because she was Salvi , they would talk bad about her and Salvadorans but even though they disliked her , my mom still loved them. 🇸🇻🇲🇽❤️!
Love this.
@@fuckshit1075 I’m Mexican Salvadoran also
Thank you brother 🤝🏽 much respect from a fellow Salvadoran 🇸🇻 we need more of your energy in this world 🙏🏽.
Sending love to all my salvadoreans from NY... Keep strong!!!♥️♥️♥️
How about all the Salvys in Cali? I live in LA, and I think there's more SALVYS here than in El Salvador !! 😂
♥️♥️♥️

we got so much more representation in the dmv 😁
Same lol
All right Sonsonate all the way. 🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻
Hey can we do one on Panamanians? I never ever see representation of Panama. I don’t even know a Panamanian who’s not in my family.🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦
Awsamazing Eden same no one really even knows about Panama where I’m from and it’s sad
Yo! I almost cried when I learned Sech is Panamanian!
Besides lister Perez that the only person I know from Panama
Not from Panama but this is so true. I don't think I've ever seen any pero like content about Panama.
Un Pana is my best friend!! Cool as people !!
I am 50% Black and 50% Salvadoreña but with 100% of both cultures. It took me a long time to get to where I am today. I went to a Black Catholic School and when my mom would pick me up, I would not speak to her in Spanish because I did not want to be different then my friends. I remember my mom told me I was gonna have a quince and I told her I did not want one but...it was a non negotiable. She had been planning it since my birth. I am so glad my mom made me do it and I have been growing in my appreciation in my culture. But yes....we are a small country but we are a mighty people.
Yessss! 🙌🏻🇸🇻♥️
My daughter is half Cuban and half Salvadorian , shes beautiful inside and out ,& good for you to embrace your SALVI SIDE!😀
My children are half Salvi, a quarter Cuban and a quarter Jewish. Raised in Brooklyn. We are everywhere.
IM MIXED THE SAME, I love it❤️
I’ve never met a half black and salvi person other than myself and i feel u girl im glad i was raised on knowing my culture and spanish and i had a quince aswell!
As a Salvi American totally relate !!!! 🇸🇻 yessss more than just the stereotype. 💙
Seeing a lot of comments on how people relate for being mistaken for Mexican.
As a First Nation/Aboriginal/Indigenous/Native American, I 💯 relate.
People forget us Indigenous people are still here. Still living. Still keeping our culture and history alive. We survived genocide and colonization.
Keep up the pride of your culture. That's how we decolonize and reclaim our power. Mad love from this First Nation. ✊🏾
The similarity in appearance is due to most Mexicans, Central Americans, and South Americans being part or full Indigenous.
Its because a lot of salvis follow the chicano lingo or cholo style 🇲🇽 . Yall are famous for your LA style 🇲🇽 gangs that migrated to central america..
@@oralevato1841 Nope. Wrong try again. Regular salvis dont have nothing to do with gangs and what your thinking of. Even then the gangs have there own salvi slang. No one follows that style in fact in central america they get face tattoos and look more like terrorist and demons. Nobody in l.a really does that not to that extent quit to trying to make shit up.
@@smartalex995 nope try again haha were do ypu think yhey got the 13 and 18 from dummy haha ive even seen documantaries form salvies qnd they have charro tattoos 🤣🤣
@@oralevato1841 literally never seen them with that tattoo. Thats how i know your making stuff up or You dont what youre talking about. provide a source. But you do realize that people from different countries wear sombreros rigth? And they probably don't even call them that.
I’m salvi born x raised in LA but now living in NY. Every chance I get I represent mi gente. 🇸🇻🙌🏽💙
Nina Lucia
THANK YOU CURLY FOR THIS VIDEO!!! Everyone I come across thinks I'm Mexican, Fillipino or Native American. YO SOY SALVADOREÑA!! 😉🇸🇻
I've never related to a comment more
Omg yes I have been called Filipino too
Yasssssssssssss my beautiful Salvadoreña!!!
say it again!!!
It's impossible with Latinos to guess where anyone is from until they speak and you hear their ACCENT. I don't get offended when I'm mistaken for Mexican !!
Mexican here I grew up in the DC region with mostly Salvi friends. I remember laughter, warmth, friendliness and good food.
I wish more people knew how damn good salvadorean food is. Pupusas, empanadas, pan con pollo, el desayuno salvadoreño con queso y todo, quesadillas
Damn...se me hace agua la boca 😩
I'M CUBAN & LIVE IN CALI, & I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE DIFF FOODS THAT YOU MENTIONED , DELICIOUS FOOD!! 😃 PUPUSAS ARE MY FAVORITE!!
Claro que si makes me happy that you like salvi food, can't forget yuca con chicharron, sopa de Pata, salpicon ,sopa de res atol de elote ,riguas nuegados, torrejas and of course horchata salvadoreña is bomb😍
@@hammerheart9083 Don't forget pasteles con curtido!
But quesadillas is not salvadorian😭😭
@@adamb2824 quesadillas in El Salvador is a bread that is made in El Salvador not what Mexicans call it . What Mexicans call quesadilla in El Salvador it is just called “tortilla con queso” so when a Salvadoran is talking about “quesadilla” they’re talking about a bread not what we would call “tortilla con queso” which I’m presuming you think she means but she means quesadilla the bread . Google quesadilla El Salvador you will see
When you’re salvi and guatemalteca 🙋🏽♀️ the least represented I feel🥺
I'm both too. In L.A. there are a lot of Salvi/Chapines.
Indira yeah! I’ve lived in California my whole life! But somehow everyone still assumed I was Mexican lol
@@najtun3256 lol Aww..maybe the part of Cali of where you reside. I grew up in the Hollywood area. Lots of Latinos are Central Americans. I grew up with choices of what restaurants I liked 🤣
Yo I’m 1/4 Guatemalteca and 1/4 Salvadoreña, so I kinda get you?
Nah I’m even more rare... Half Salvi and Uruguayo
My grandma meeting my husband for the first time asked him “What part of Mexico is El Salvador in?!” He had to get a map out 🤣
Believe me happen to me many times 😂😂🤦🏻♂️
I remember I told someone my parents were from El Salvador and he said which part of Mexico is that? It took all my willpower to not call him an idiot . I said “no El Salvador is a country in Central America.”this was in the US . Meanwhile when I lived in France and Germany NO ONE EVER thought it was a part of mexico they always knew their geography much better knew immediately it was a country and where it was .
I’m salvi and Dominican all I do is curse
Omg me too!
YOU DONT HAVE TO CURSE😂 & what an interesting combination Dominican and Salvadorian!! Mangu & merengue, pupusas & cumbia! 😀
@aivlis I AGREE WITH YOU! 😃 & MY CHILDREN ARE SALVI & CUBAN 😃 , OYE CHICO Y QUE ONDAS VOZ 😃
Lily J you must not be from either because you just said you don’t need to curse. Cursing is as common as breathing air in both cultures.
@@KittyCat1993-m6t sometimes I do curse but in English but not 24/7, and I'm cuban-american , my EX-husband is SALVI, he cursed 24/7 even in PUBLIC 😧
Only problems I had growing up Latino in the U.S I was always questioned how I know Spanish back to back and continuously asked to say stuff in Spanish when it was so many lighter Latinos around why ask me 💯💯💯
Reversed 202 exactly 💯💯💯💯💯
Because they have a stereotype on what we look like and anything else that deviates from that it seems they have a hard time accepting. If you look caucasian, black or asian, it seems they will question. In reality we can look like any color or race cuz we are a mixed people and some have more of one than the other.
Curly,
Thank you for giving El Salvador a seat at the table at Pero Like ❤️
I’m not Dominican, I’m not Puerto Rican, and I’m definitely not Mexican. I’m a proud ass Salvadoran that’s gonna leave a mark on this world!!! Salvadorans Unite!!!
Yeah!! 🙌🏻♥️🇸🇻
@@hectorchavez6100 Why are you commenting? To spread negativity? Really what is your point of being so disrespectful?
Hector Chavez your life is trash
Hector Chavez ofc ur name is hector
The Undercooked Pupusa good we’re glad you don’t want to be Mexican
Loved it! I grew up in Australia and always had to explain where El Salvador is and when you say it to Australians they think we are from the middle of USA ! I am now living in Portugal and most people know where El Salvador is but don't know much about us. Its great that I can explain who we are in Latin American and introduce the Portuguese slowly about our culture. I think we are dedicated, and have a fighter's spirit above all we are quiet achievers. Thank you for making this video Pero community Xxxx...
It never offended me until I started being looked down by a few Mexicans, there was a tension between our communities in the neighbourhood. I grew past all that, shout out to the Mex, love my native nations of the south.
My kids are Mexican and salvi me being Mexican make sure I teach them the difference of both and make them feel proud of Both cultures✊🏽🇲🇽 🇸🇻
My children are 1/2 Cuban and 1/2 Salvadorian and I exposed them, to both cultures growing up😀
@@lilyj9924 were they able to learn Spanish?
Same my mom Mexican Mexico 🇲🇽 and my dad is El Salvador 🇸🇻
I do the same ❤ 🇲🇽 ❤ 🇸🇻 ❤

When I was younger, i was ashamed to tell people I was Salvi. I grew up East LA, aka little Mexico lol people would say eres serote when I would tell my close friends i was salvi. Now i want to embrase my colture and teach my children about thay Salvi lingo and life lol one day i would like to visit. Proud salvi now.
I can totally relate. Most Latinos living in the US are Mexicans, as are most of my Latin friends. I'm half Mexican half Salvi, and I too get those "jokes" and comments about being Salvi. That only makes me be even more proud of being Salvi! I will always represent & defend my Salvi background!!! 🇸🇻
@@mm12345777 so true. As I grew older, I started to realize. I love the salvi culture and I have embrased it. SALVSTRUCHA for life lol. Plus man we have the funniest lingo, bomb food and company.
GOOD FOR YOU! EMBRACE YOUR CULTURE , & EXPOSE SALVI CULTURE TO YOUR CHILDREN😀
I can relate, I grew up here in Houston, so many mexican friends. Now idc and am proud!!

🇲🇽♥️🇸🇻
Me too ! My mom is Mexican and dad is Salvadorian.
clarakenshi omfg casamiento 🤤🤤🤤
As a tica, I felt all of this. Love Salvis, my fellow centroamericanos!
I didn't know anything about salvadorians until i married my husband and even he doesnt know much about his culture. It sucks but I'm always trying learn more so that i can teach or kids. I want them to be proud of both they're cultures.
This video made me so emotional. I am so incredibly proud to be Salvadorean. I related to everything they said. We are rough, tough, no nonsense people, and we joke too much sometimes, but can’t beat the passion of being Salvi 💙
yes salvi representation!! 🇸🇻
I live in the D.C Maryland area and mostly all Hispanics here are from El Salvador like if u go to Silver spring or Maryland in general most Hispanics are from El Salvador as a first generation American from El Salvador it's wonderful to grow up in a area where I can relate with tons of people just like me
MY Children's Uncle lives in Hyattsville , Maryland HES SALVI, also in Virginia I heard there are a lot of SALVIS & where I live in LA, CALI. , there are the most SALVADORIANS
@@lilyj9924 ya I'm sorry I should of said the DMV bc that's all Salvadoran
Abrahan Garcia That’s why Moco is third world America now
Ken93 ooohhh nahhh bruh moco is the richest county in MD and u must be talking about pg
Abrahan Garcia reality mijo? In moco Hispanic 1/3 students are Hispanic. Hispanics have a 60 percent drop rate, moco is longer rich as if used to be when it was 87 white percent back 2000s. Prince Georges County is rich too not as richer than Howard or moco , Somerset County is the poorest country in Maryland. Hispanics and Blacks can’t afford areas like Potomac, Chevy chase, Bethesda, remember moco is self segregated
soy medió salvadoreña y estoy muy orgullosa 🇸🇻
Amo ser Salvadoreña casi nunca nadie sabe de donde soy y siempre lo digo muy orgullosa ! 🇸🇻 🇸🇻
I smile so much seeing anything relating to El Salvador. 🙂
Preach “we are more than gang violence” 🙌🏽 super proud to be both Mexican & Salvadorian ❤️
Maria Pineda twining 🙌🏻😊❤️🇸🇻🇲🇽
Exactly!! We are way more than that! ♥️🇸🇻
I’m half salvi and I wish my dad would of stuck around to teach me that half of me. But he chose his wife instead. So I’m happy y’all made a video like this for me to see. I hope I get to visit one day.
How sad, and he'll regret it later , it's his loss, some men choose women over their children 😭 & I hope were you still happy and you had your mother💗💗 in your life!!
I love learning so much about my father's home country. I'm born and raised in Sweden by my Swedish mother, I've rarely met my father and my half siblings, and so I've only gotten to learn quite little about my Salvi heritage. I feel more and more eager to explore this side of me and to visit El Salvador some day - the country, the people, the culture all seem so full of life!
Phillip, I hope some day you get explore your roots. There is so much to see and learn from our beautiful country.
Best regards from California
Yesssss!!!!! All us latinos always get called Mexican!!! We love our Mexican brothers and sisters but we are not all mexican!!
#GetEducated
I agree with you 100%
No somos mexicanos cabeza hueca
Where my salvi people at!!!!!!🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻
@ LA CALIF!! 😃 HUGE SALVI POPULATION !!
thank you for talking about this without throwing Puerto Ricans, Dominicans and Colombians under the bus. We need more inclusion of all the countries without trying to diminish what other countries have honestly just begun doing. speaking up about the Mexican thing though was completely necessary, we're all called that whether we're from el caribe or south america.
whatever I agree. We need to be more united no matter what country we are from. United we stand, divided we fall.
retweet. literally.
I am familiar with Puerto Rican and Dominican culture y’all have salsa, bachata, reggaeton and the way y’all talk and dress. But your food is not represented in main stream media enough! Im sure y’all have many delicious cuisines that other Latinos would love to try
@@erikag7334 bachata is.honduran
I can relate so much. I'm a first generation Salvi-American. I went to El Salvador for the first time last year to see my grandfather before he passed away. We stayed at my aunt's house in San Salvador and all my cousins and aunts were so happy to teach me their slang and culture. It was so beautiful. We went to Centro Comercial Galeria. A little history was left from my father's childhood. The house inside was the house my father grew up in with his sisters and brothers before it was bought. They kept the marble from the house and they were so excited when we got back and showed me photos of how the house looked back then. Seeing and being part of my culture I felt so nervous and disconnected, that the trip alone was such a great way to connect with a culture I only heard stories about. I can't wait to go again next year for Christmas!
Loveeeee this. 😭💙As a Salvi American I don’t feel represented on the media. Never related to a video so much. 🇸🇻
Ikr!! It's so sad 😞 Hopefully videos like this inspire fellow Salvis to represent ✊🏻🇸🇻
mm12345777 I’ve heard ppl say so many times that they didn’t know El Salvador even existed even though me and them live in the DMV which is heavily populated with us. It sucks that the only Latinos I see on any screen, whether it’s a phone TV or theater, is Mexicans. That’s why people question our identities and location and if they do say they’ve seen us on a screen it’s always on the news talking about gangs and being afraid. That’s why I love this channel so much!!!!
mm12345777 yesss hopefully we do start seeing more representations on the media!!
Bloo yes! I definitely agree. Where I’m from there’s soooo many salvadoreños pero we just don’t see them on big platforms. 😕
It’s cool how jay is both Mexican & Salvadorian
El Salvador is in the condition it’s in because of U.S. intervention... this!!! So is Guatemala girl
Very true, stay educated...
As someone born here in the US to a Puerto Rican mom and Salvadoran dad, half of it is true. Yes the US just wanted bananas from Central America but whatever caused a civil war had nothing to do with the US. And just because Mara started in cali doesn’t make it an American gang. They were from El Salvador and went to cali and then formed the group.
Contras
Fantastix no what happened in El Salvador was because American govt aided supported and trained a dictatorship that killed a lot of salvadorians . The civil war started because of the dictatorship. The us didn't condemn the dictatorship even when they raped and killed American women so sorry man you are wrong .
@@user-th4ch4ky3g I recently heard they started the "soccer war" too. Not joking.
When I ask for a “pajilla” = straw my panas look at me like “que?”
Carla Hern this happened to me, I ask for a pajilla and they were looking at me weird and my aunt “corrected me” and told me it was popote
Wait pajilla doesn’t mean straw in other Spanish countries?
Baby Sonic GT pajitas or popotes etc
What? How could it be anything but pajilla?
I'm Salvi-American and am barely getting in touch with my Salvi heritage because growing up my mom didn't really expose us to it and she wasn't really like "proud" because a lot of her close friends were Mexican and would crack some jokes about Salvadorans but lately she recently went back to El Salvador to take my grandma's ashes and so her siblings can say goodbye to their mom and she sent my sister and I some pictures of places she went and I fell in love with the country and I am actively trying to learn more. And she hasn't been back in 25 years so when she went back I think it rekindled her love for the motherland as well.
I can totally relate. Most Latinos living in the US are Mexicans, as are most of my Latin friends. I'm half Mexican half Salvi, and I too get those "jokes" and comments about being Salvi. That only makes me be even more proud of being Salvi! I will always represent & defend my Salvi background!!! 🇸🇻
My children are half Cuban & half Salvadorean, & growing up I exposed them to both cultures ,FOOD , MUSIC, & HISTORY
Bro you need to go man, it'll change your life. I'm also American born with Salvi parents and trust me I miss El Salvador
I never really see people like me. Like a lot of the times I have a hard time understanding when people who don’t have salvi accents and dialect try to talk to me in Spanish. And I was raised with Spanish my whole life but I’m not a good speaker I’m better at understanding. Usually in these Latino videos I have a general idea of what they are saying but I actually understood what the hell they where saying. It was so interesting to finally be able to relate to people on my culture. Finally being able to be like “yeah my dad won’t let me go back to see El Salvador.” And these people also understanding why my dad wouldn’t want to go back there with children. The only people that regularly visit are my grandparents because they do still have a lot of family and land there. The rest of my aunts and uncles in America won’t let me or my cousins go. It’s just really nice to have people understand you and your culture a little better then other Latinos or non Latinos that think your Mexican.
I'm triracial and my mother is from el Salvador!
OMG! I didn't even know I made a small cameo in this video 7:13
Thank you so much Pero Like for highlighting Somos Arte: The Creative Movement of El Salvador!
I'm extremely proud of being the host of the documentary and proud of the work my team and I have done!
ayyyyyy half mexican and half salvi over here!! best of both worlds
Yo soy medio raro soy salvadoreño pero tengo sangre hungara tambien 😂 pero no comparto ningun rasgo europeo
I love being salvi and wouldn’t change it for the world. Somos guerrilleros and luchadores.
This is the best...thank you for representing for the sipotes y sipotas out here 🇸🇻 ✊🏼
I have many friends that are Salvadoreños
I love the culture and food
I’m Mexican American and I married a Guatemalteco
Now we have 2 little chapincitos and we are trying to teach them
American Culture
Mexican Culture
Guatemalan Culture
THATS SO COOL !! BUT THEY CALL THEM PATOJOS, I'm not sure about the spelling , I live in LA, CALI there's a alot of Guatemalans
Yeah that’s how they call the kids or widos
It’s taken me a while to learn what Loya of the words mean but little by little I’m learning
@@anigrazatlab2983 ONE DAY & A TIME ☺ I AM CUBAN AMERICAN, BUT I KNOW SALVI , MEXICAN & SOME CHAPIN SLANG, ITS SO EASY TO PICK UP, IN LA, CALI !! ALSO WE JUST HAD A FEW DAYS AGO EL CHAPIN FESTIVAL , IN LA we have MANY CENTRAL AMERICAN FESTIVALS throughout the year😀
Yes I agree
At first I wouldn’t pick it up because I would only hand out with salvis
Till I met my husband I was around chapones
Yes I was there on Saturday
I took my kids so they could see a bit of they’re Culture
@@anigrazatlab2983 THATS AWSOME! FOR THE CHILDREN☺ BLESSINGS TO YOU & YOUR FAMILY, & I GUESS YOU EITHER LIVE IN CALI OR YOU'RE VISITING?
Im Honduran-American and we get this too.
Curly has been producing amazing content! His recent videos have highlighted so many underrepresented latinx communities.
I’ve been waiting for something like this!!!
its like that for every country in central american tbh. i’m from Guatemala, and people deadass thought Guatemala was an island. OMG. we need more central american representation
A lot of representation of Central Americans in LA CALI, 😀 I JUST WENT TO A CHAPIN FESTIVAL LAST WEEKEND & IN SEPT IS THE SALVI ONE!
Any fellow half Salvi / half Mexican people? 😊
Me! 🖐🏻 Low-key wish I was full Salvi tho. 🇸🇻♥️ I've always experienced Mexican ppl, friends and that side of the family always talking crap about Salvadorans 😒
Thank you curly for representing! You’re the real MVP!
I get a bit teary eyed when I saw this.i came to US when I was 5.knowone new about ES. I was always called Mexican & I didn’t like it.we didn’t have much family here.im proud to be salvadoreño our history culture & sense of patriot is strong & in us.when I meet other ES. I always go out of my way to say hi or introduce myself some people are cool and some act hella TUFOSOS!i don’t care they are missing out
I am SOOO proud to be 100% Salvadoran ❤️❤️
Yes yes yes!!
One time at work this guy asked where i was from and i said El Salvador and this dude goes "ok so Mexico?" And i was like no. I'm from El Salvador. I kid you not this dude starts GIVING ME a lecture about how i should just say I'm from Mexico and how i should stop being ashamed of my culture.
I was LIVID!!!! i was not denying my culture HE WAS!!!! I'm sorry but that guy got on my damn nerves. EL SALVADOR NO ES MEXICO!
Inuar Was he white??? I’m used to it but I still defend what I am. Keep doin what ur doin. AND SOMEBODY GET THIS MAN A HISTORY/GEOGRAPHY BOOK!!!
@@NibbleNips88 he was indeed white.
Inuar CALLED IT!!!! Man I should have put money on it
OH WOW! , your coworker was so ignorant😧
HELL YEAH !!
And this is why I love Curly so much he truly is passionate about being Salvi and up until now even within the Latinoo entertainment community you really dont see any Salvis being represented love this so much thank you to everyone in this video 💖🇳🇮
I love being salvi💕 bichos!!!
My BF is Salvadorian andddd I loooooove his moms empanadas
I’m not Salvi pero my husband is and I have learned to appreciate his culture and where he came from and yes not everybody is Mexican and you learn that when you get to know somebody from another country like El Salvador o como Honduras y Guatemala
Half of my family still lives in El Salvador, yet I don't speak a lick of spanish. I'm finally looking into my family's culture- it sucks that I've waiting this long
I’m in the same boat and it’s so hard I feel so disconnected from my own culture
Orgullosa de ser Salvadoreña 🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻
Can you do Guatemalans🥺
Yes pleaseeee
I've been lucky to have plenty of Salvi-friends throughout my life...👋👏👍🤝💋
I appreciate these salvi videos so much!
Curly! You need to visit Long Island, NY or even nyc. There is such a big Salvadorian community there. I’m a Peruvian girl living in nyc, and I could eat pupusas everyday!!
I'M CUBAN, & I'VE EATEN SO MANY pupusas IN CALI, I think there's more salvadorians here than in New York !!
Lily J maybe. I wasn’t saying ny has a bigger Salvadorian population. I just want curly to visit nyc 🤷🏻♀️
@@Parisbella219 I'm aware of that I was just making that comment ☺
Love love love! Curly you're the best for representing Salvi .❤👍
Love being Salvi!!! NYC-Harlem and Latinos Forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You harm one of us you harm all of us!!!! TIME FOR LATINOS TO UNITE!!!!!!
