THE stereotypes between regions are daily bread and Spain he doesn’t get rid of it. Furthermore, among the different province There are beliefs and assumptions, mostly unfounded, about what its inhabitants are like and how they live. Between zones … The Madrilenians perhaps have more issues on their backs, but also in the north and south of the country.
Thus, the Catalans and Andalusians have multiple clichés, that there is no better way than to confirm or combat knowing the region from the inside. And this is what Angela Ramírez, a woman from Malaga who has lived in Barcelona for four years, has done now, who spoke in a video about all the prejudices you have heard about the Catalans.
The young woman has indeed been counting for some time since her TikTok (@angela.rule) how he adapts to life here and to his learning of Catalan and now he triumphs over the visits (more than 138,000 views) with a publication in which he analyzes step by step the the most widespread prejudices about the Catalans. She begins by illustrating what has been said with the typical statement that “the Catalans They hate the Spanishs”.
“An Andalusian can also be a seeker”
Before confirming or denying this maxim, Angela talks about other subjects like that they are very greedy. “This is what I deny: I have friends who are Catalan and who are very generous and not at all clingy,” says the young woman, who adds that “this statement depends a lot on the person and the education they had.” “An Andalusian can also be an idiot or a rat, as we call him, if that is what we have instilled in him,” he illustrates.
“Tiktoker” also refers to what they only speak Catalan and it’s direct: “lie”. “Until a year ago, I barely knew how to speak Catalan and when people heard my accent, they went straight to Spanish,” says the Andalusian, who adds that this happened to her even in Girona, a very Catalan region.
“It’s going to be difficult for you to make friends.“This sentence is partly true and partly false”, says the young woman, who comments that “unlike the Andalusians who are more open and more sociable (as they say, ‘salaos’), the first class Catalans are more closed and a little more shy”. However, Ángela confirms that “as I was told when I moved here to Barcelona, once you have a Catalan friend, that friend will last a lifetime.”
On the other hand, the Andalusian speaks for herself They are very squareas some believe, and he confirms it by saying that in Andalusia during the week you can go out for a drink, but in Barcelona people tend to be strict and leave plans for the weekend. Finally, answer emphatically yes Catalans hate the Spanish: “That’s not true” and she points out that, for example, when she says she’s from Malaga, people compliment her origins a lot.
“Beyond everyone’s ideals, In my daily life I have not met anyone who, when they are told that I am from Malaga, despises them, quite the contrary”, says Ángela, who ends the video by shouting because “we should not have prejudices because most of the time we are wrong”. “You always have to play things once you have experienced them”, he says. As expected, the video adds hundreds of comments of all kinds.
