Mi (Falsa) Chilenidad

Posted by KKS | 18th February 2008

If you thought that the end of the semester was the end of the Chile experience, well… that’s just plain wrong. I’ve
been wanting to put up some summative, unnecessarily thoughtful and potentially pretentious post about what the semester meant to me… and this is definitely NOT that post. This is a different post I have been alluding to all semester: instances of people mistaking me for Chilena or Latina.

I am pleased to say that the events are FAR too numerous to include all here, so this is a choice sampling, presented in chronological order. The best part about it is that, in the beginning, people mistook me for Chilena only before I’d started talking; later on, I could keep it going if I tried really hard to speak Chilean Spanish and in very short, fast responses.
