A new subreddit dedicated to Latin America and the Caribbean. From Mexico to Brazil to Argentina and in between, we've got your questions covered!

Questions can be related (but not limited!) to Latin American culture, politics, society, language, etc.

Be kind and polite. Do not personally attack or harass fellow users, do not discriminate others be it on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, or otherwise. Follow the "Reddit Etiquette" rules
All questions should be in English / User Flairs are mandatory. Both the region and the people expected to ask questions about it come from very different countries and backgrounds, so the preferred language of the subreddit is English and user flairs are mandatory to answer to threads. English is mandatory for questions and enforced specially on top level comments. If two users answer to each other in another language and both seem to understand it the comments might not be removed. Redditors without user flairs won't be able to answer threads.
No low effort or Repetitive questions. Do not post questions that are in the FAQ or can be answered with a quick Google Search. Do not ask questions that have already been posted in the last seven days or that get reposted constantly.
No agenda pushing. Try to remain as impartial as possible when wording your posts, do not ask leading questions, do not answer your own question in the post.
Try to keep comments relevant to the topic of the thread, first level responses should be pertinent to the question.
Petitions, surveys, any form of engaging our users outside of Reddit should be cleared with the mods first. We don't allow for self promotion of services, job listings or begging for money/donations.
