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"
Just for clarification this wasn’t Milei
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.
We have had worse presidents
Pretty bad president for sure, but didnt you guys have some awful presidents in the late 60s / early 70s?
:(
Yes. For the last 100 years or so.
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
Man Im watching somewhat the under17 world cup currently at play for Etcheverry and let me tell y'all the roster could very well be Mexicans , ecuadorians or whatevs;it is not as if the players look Baltic haha
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.
