Close Up – Chile – brings Most Handsome Arab to Chile
A major Chilean TV show (Primer Plano/Close Up) is bringing to Chile, the most handsome Arab in the world.
Well, Chile has a large well-to-do Arab community, so they decided to bring him to Chile. (Click Here – in Spanish)
This would be mostly ignored in the USA, outside of a few laughs, but in Chile; it is big news.
Chile is 5% Arab. You play to the audience.
Party at the Arab College – Viña Del Mar, Chile
The word: “College” in Spanish can be roughly equivalent to an American High School which prepares kids for the University. A Prep School. For post-high school, the Spanish use: “Universidad” (University).
These kids are well-to-do; and Christian. 99% of Chile’a Arabs are Christian.
Over half would be of Palestinian extraction – descendants of Palestinians who started immigrating to Chile around 1890, over 120 years ago. Most are second-, third-, and fourth-generation Chileans and are NOT native speakers of Arabic, but rather Spanish. Most are only part-Arabic. However, the Arabs in Chile are a very well off ethnic group and wield political power above their numbers in the population.
It is certain that they learned some Arabic in their Prep School.
