    I’ve seen worse. Our president made a slight mistake and misquoted a book by saying “Mexicans came from Indians, Brazilians came from the jungle, but we Argentines came from the ships, and the ships came from Europe. So of course I love Spain”

      The quote is made even worse by the fact that is straight-up wrong too, given that Argentina has as much non-European ancestry as Brazil in terms of genetics. Lots of Argentinians came from the natives too.

        Yes. For the last 100 years or so.

        Argentina is just as non-European as Brazil is, they just have native ancestry instead of African and are a little farther away from the ecuator.

      I start to see why many people say Argentinians are racist. At first, I thought it was like any other countries but this is a bigger level.

        They basically see themselves as Europeans rather than South Americans, as I understand it.

        Just take a look at the thread when the brazilian police attacked argentinian fans in the stadium a few days ago.

        Obviously a horrible occurence, but the amount of Argentines that denied any kind of racism problem/racist history in their country was outrageous, and anyone opposing their lies was downvoted to hell
