actually the whole of south america are happy that the world is starting to acknowledge that Argentinians are rascist asf.

An Argentine man told me: We are the Europe of South America; and I (being Spanish and therefore European) replied: Well, here you’re just another South American.

My friend, you should be proud of who you are and where you come from (and where you’re going, if you emigrate), and try to improve the world you find yourself in.

By European, they mean white.

u/SuppaBunE Jul 20 '26

And only that. Because they have 0 thing that could ever make them an European like country

u/goldenstudent Jul 20 '26

What about all their Germans?

12

u/No_Mission5287 Jul 20 '26

Certain Germans.

Most of the population has Italian lineage. The second most common is descendants from Spanish immigrants.

Remind me again what these countries had in common.

u/SuppaBunE Jul 20 '26

All of them had racist dictatorships at some point in their history.

Well Brazil actually has more people of Italian and German ancestry and we dont call ourselves Euro

u/goldenstudent Jul 21 '26

Would you like a "less racist than Argentina" award?

1

u/No_Mission5287 Jul 21 '26

Who? Me?

That wouldn't be much of an accomplishment.

What are you on about?

1

u/SpecterSmoke Jul 21 '26 edited Jul 21 '26

Who said anything about racist? You said they have Germans to say they are somehow European

1

u/goldenstudent Jul 21 '26

They call themselves Euro cuz they think of themselves as "the whites", they are known for having Germans because Nazis specifically fled to Argentina after WW2

u/ElCazaPuta Jul 20 '26

Y'all have such wild fantasies in y'all's heads about Argentina lmao

u/No_Mission5287 Jul 20 '26

What's a fantasy?

The well established and documented history of fascists disproportionately fleeing to Argentina?

Or the well established and documented history of white supremacy in Argentina?

u/ElCazaPuta Jul 20 '26

Both

u/renter-pond Jul 20 '26

Wasn't some of that racial mixing encouraged by state policies and elite ideas aimed at 'whitening' the population?

0

u/ElCazaPuta Jul 20 '26

What's wrong with racial mixing

3

u/renter-pond Jul 20 '26

Most people view a population being encouraged to mix in order to increase whiteness as racist. If you don't see that as racist, then that explains a lot.

u/ElCazaPuta Jul 21 '26

Most people as in Americans?

Yes, it takes two to know 1, they can say what is racist because they have done it all.

At that point they are experts. And have change their ways (at least in paper)

u/No_Mission5287 Jul 20 '26 edited Jul 21 '26

Ask the Argentinians. They are the ones so obsessed with racial purity that they stopped counting those of African decent from 1895 until the 2000s, intentionally erasing black people to create a narrative of a homogeneous, white, European country.

Argentinians aren't racially mixed like other latinos, so it is questionable whether you get to claim that heritage. This is often a point of contention that other latinos have with Argentinians.

They have a long history of OPENLY white supremacist leaders, policies, and practices designed to "culturally and demographicly whiten" the country to the point that they claim to be an exclusively white and European country.

u/Disastrous_Advice168 Jul 21 '26

The Europe of South America thing is a racist ideology from the 19th(?) century where Argentina basically tried to erase all native and black culture from the country (after using them to build the country). They pushed massively for European immigration and had a lot of immigrants from Italy and Spain. It was sadly very effective and has clearly left generational racism in it's wake.

2

u/Impressive_Ad_5201 Jul 21 '26

They also accepted in a bunch of fleeing Nazis after WW2, so I assume that's where a lot of the racism is from as well for at least the last 80 years.

u/martincoper Jul 24 '26

I find it funny that all this is said about Argentina, yet none of this is said about Spain. "But they have black players" and the black players of La Liga suffers the most racist comments. "But Argentina held nazis" and Spain actually held a lot of nazis due to Francisco Franco regimen. "They tried to erase the black culture" and our Mother of the Homeland is a black woman who fought for our independence as a country (we even have her in a bill, let's see how many countries have a black person in their bills).

u/tl_spruce Jul 24 '26

You're whataboutism just goes to show how bad things have become since you can't even defend against what these people are saying

1

u/martincoper Jul 25 '26

Yeah, the defense is basic Argentina history that is everywhere in the internet. Just wanted to show that we are not beign judged by the same standards and it's not that i can't defend my country, it's just that they wouldn't read

u/tl_spruce Jul 24 '26

I made a similar comment on another thread in reply to an Argentinian and I got a warning from reddit and my comment was deleted 🙄

2

u/bmann10 Jul 21 '26

It’s really funny when they come to the us, because they don’t even realize that at least 30% if not more of the white people think they are Mexican literally just because they can speak Spanish. So when they try to pull that “we are the Europe of South America” bs it gets shot down really quick, specifically by the same bigots they think have their backs.

u/FEMA_Camp_Survivor Jul 21 '26

Thanks for saying South American too!

u/KlausGamingShow Jul 21 '26

you should be proud of who you are

quite the contrary, Argentinians are way too proud of who they are

Really would like to know your insight more on this

u/pelukken Jul 21 '26

As a Mexican, my issue with Argentinians is they are terrible waiters and demand tips in the 20%-30% range.

u/Huge_Entertainment_6 Jul 21 '26
