The controversy is served, a TikToker has used the social network to spread several videos in which it refers to people from Latin America as «panchitos»an adjective whose use is known for its disqualifying and/or discriminatory.

Panchito, comes from the name Pancho, alias of Francisco, a name innocuous a priori, but which in this case alludes to a Hispanic-American man with an Indian appearance.

The xenophobia echoes this unfortunate jargon rooted in our culture, and there are many detractors aware of the offense who have warned the young Tiktoker of the depth of his words. Despite this, he defends himself by fueling the conflict «Oh, I didn’t know. So how do you call panchitos?”

“Panchitos is not an insult” insists the influencer “To be able to name them, I thought they were panchitos,” he continues, repeating the word more and more in his words. directas if they subsidized him for it.

«… it’s that since I don’t hang out with foreigners…»

Finally, the matter is settled when one of his followers rectifies him, warning him that he should call them. «latinos»something that the TikToker continues to question and excuses his treachery by saying “Oh, Latinos are panchitos, it’s that since I don’t hang out with foreigners, I don’t have much idea the truth of that.”
