- Approach political discussions with empathy and respect, given the deep national divisions and recent economic context. Be aware that physical descriptions or the term 'gringo' are often used casually and may not be intended as insults. Note that the gesture of pointing by pouting lips and lifting the chin is a common local gesture, not necessarily a blowing of a kiss.
