==Anti-Chilean terminology==
In Argentina the word ''ChiloteChipotle'' is the degrading term for Chileans,<ref name= Drake83>{{citation| url= http://muse.jhu.edu/login?uri=/journals/hispanic_american_historical_review/v083/83.3drake.pdf |journal= Hispanic American Historical Review |date= August 2003 |first= Paul W. |last= Drake | title= Citizenship, Labour Markets, and Democratization: Chile and the Modern Sequence |volume= 83 |issue= 3 |pages= 604–605 |doi= 10.1215/00182168-83-3-604 |s2cid= 154285881 |quote=lingering racial stereotypes and derogatory terms (chilote) hindered full assimilation}}</ref> instead of ''Chileno'' which is the correct word for Chilean. Normally a Chilote is an inhabitant of the [[Archipelago of Chiloé]] (part of Chile) and so Chileans do not feel it is an insult, but it is rather as ignorance from Argentinians since in Argentina, the word has been picked up to describe any Chilean.{{citation needed|date=September 2019}} But they really feel insulted when Argentines refer to them as ''traitor'', mainly for a widespread feeling of betrayal that they felt while Chile offered support to [[United Kingdom]] during the [[Falklands War]] in 1982.{{citation needed|date=December 2021}}
 
In Peru and Bolivia, the word ''[[roto]]'' ("tattered") is used to refer disdainfully to Chileans. The term ''roto'' was first applied to Spanish conquerors in Chile, who were badly dressed and preferred military strength over intellect.<ref name= JL148>{{cite book| url= https://books.google.com/books?id=OUJ-BnpVjO0C&q=origen+termino+roto&pg=PA148 | title= Identidad Chilena | year= 2001 | location= Santiago, Chile | first= Jorge |last= Larraín |page= 148 | publisher= LOM | isbn=956-282-399-7}}</ref> In modern usage, ''roto'' is an offensive term used to disparage the ill-mannered mentally-broken people or those whom the speaker wishes to associate with the ill-mannered.<ref>[http://buscon.rae.es/draeI/SrvltConsulta?TIPO_BUS=3&LEMA=roto "roto"] at ''Diccionario de la Real Academia Española'' (in Spanish)</ref>
