Do Europeans feel superior than Latin-Americans?

Do Europeans feel superior than Latin-Americans?
I'm from Argentina and was an exchange student in Denmark some years ago. Sometimes the people asked me things that sounded as if I lived in the jungle or something like that. In Latin America people tends to think that Europe is a superior or a better place, a higher culture. Do Europeans think that too?

I would have to say that some people no matter where they live and what their culture is like will feel Superior to other people, places and culture and some people admire their own culture along with others cultures and places and people.

As a whole they prpbably don't feel superior but are ill-educated about what life is like in different countries. it's no different really than those who believe,for instance, that all people in Canada live in igloos/log cabins and have 6 months of winter,or that it rains every single day in England.

well...don't Argetinians feel superior to the rest of latin America because they have "european blood". That was certaintly the impression I got when I was there. I think you answered your own question. On the whole i'd say Europeans are just ignorant about Latin America just as most of the world is ignorant about the rest of the world.

in terms of women, latin girls are far superior than european and i am american.
