[Nelson-A20167]

It’s definitely a class thing. Here in Venezuela, where we are all Latino (black, brown or white), you notice more privacy among the higher classes and more openness among the lower. Anyway, the higher up you go here in class, the whiter it gets, just like in the United States. So you see the upper-class neigborhood people doing things in their back yards, never in front. It’s not about the lawn, it’s about not having the whole neighborhood watching you eat and drink beer. The opposite happens in the barrios (slums), where people hang out in front, doors open, load music playing, so everyone can see. To me, ‘barrio’ style is more fun, but not appropriate in a classy neighborhood. Now, I’m sure that if a lower-class black family makes it big and moves to an upper-class white neighborhood, they’ll have their barbecues in the back like everybody else.
