Meaning of jovenlandia




furoya

jovenlandia
  11

This ironic neologism seems to have its origin in Spain and refers to an undefined place (although for Europeans it may be North Africa or the Near East) from where young immigrants arrive. It is taken from police news that, for ethical reasons, avoid mentioning the nationality of criminals and delinquents so as not to encourage the stigmatization of migrant groups when the detainees are foreigners; and they usually use the formula "a young man . . . " to name them. Thus nationalist and racist social media groups who expected indirect support from the media that no longer mentioned the nationality of a criminal when they were foreigners, created the term 'youthland' to highlight negatively and ironically this editorial policy that avoids naming their countries of origin. See Jovenlandés.
