Proposal for Modification on Nicknames for Venezuelans

In recent years, affectionate nicknames such as "Venzies" and "Venuzzies" have emerged as playful alternatives to the pejorative term "veneco," which often conveys xenophobia and has been linked to vandalism against Venezuelans in host countries. The transformation of language in this context reflects a growing need to create a positive identity amid widespread displacement and discrimination.

The term "veneco" has been used derogatorily in various contexts, fueling negative stereotypes that associate Venezuelans with crime and poverty, particularly in countries receiving migrants. Such stigmatization can lead to xenophobic attitudes and even violence (González, 2020; Pérez, 2021). In contrast, the adoption of the nicknames "Venzies" and "Venuzzies" serves as a reclamation of Venezuelan identity, promoting a friendly and inclusive image akin to other cultural nicknames like "Aussies" for Australians (Rivas, 2022).

This proposed modification aims to counteract the negative connotations of existing terms by promoting "Venzies" and "Venuzzies" as symbols of community and pride. By fostering a more positive linguistic representation, we can contribute to the des stigmatization of Venezuelans and encourage a sense of belonging in host societies. Ultimately, embracing these terms can help transform narratives surrounding Venezuelan identity, paving the way for greater acceptance and integration.
