Our mission is to display what's positive about Latin America, Latinos, and Latinas. Nobody pays us to do this. We're simply two Mexicans that want to see our region succeed, as I imagine you want to see yours.
You can call "finding metrics that speak to the potential of Latin America" cherry-picking if you'd like, but what we're posting is not made-up data.
FYI: We also post about things that we want to improve.

Eh, I’m Brazilian and it feels like the Americans here are taking this way too much through their own point of view. Which right now is of and polarized country divided by race and class issues.
The biggest thing I take from this graph is how far behind the average Latin American is from people who emigrated to the US, not that it’s trying to preach about Latino superiority or cultivate divide; most of your post don’t even have anything to do with the Latino population on the US.
Keep up the good work, it’s fun and informative, if this sub don’t appreciate the Latin American communities here on Reddit surely will.

With such economic strength why is the Latino voter turnout so poor, in your opinion? 2020 was the first time turnout was above 50%. Lots of untapped opportunity!

We (Latinos/Hispanics/Lusophones) in the US are Americans. Much like most of us, we are aware of Latin America but that is not our home, it never was. Even though I'm currently living in Phuket, Thailand. Home for me is also, Northern California.
FYI. I'm thrid generation American who is also a polyglot. I don't see myself as a Lusophone/Latino, I see myself as a human being, a world citizen, who has the ability to live anywhere I desire.
This graph is very pompous and pretentious.
