I noticed it like once in the past , didnt think anything of it considering Ive never seen a black Argentine & through history I learned most Argentines are just spanish speaking italians
There was a war in Argentina in the 18th century that killed off a majority of the black population, the war of the triple alliance or something like that.
Why can't you respond to the question: why Argentina does not have Black players? That's how many of you fail examinations. They ask you a question and you go out to answer nonsense; at the end, you say the teacher hates you and that's why he/she failed you in the exam! Caustic!
@@danboyigomsuk2027 afro argentines only make up less than 1%, half of which are females. And a small amount of them are interested in pursuing football as a career. Through simple mathematics/probability, it is not all that surprising that Argentina doesn't have black players in the men's national football squad or their leagues.
I'm from Argentina and from a city of half a million people and the only blacks you see here are Senegalese immigrants or profesional basketball players

Calling someone Negro in many countries isn’t Racist. In Mexico we do it all the time. I live in AZ for 20+ years now and have come to know about 5 black Hispanics who themselves went by the name “El negro” , just like some light skin Hispanics go by “guero”
Thats inaccurate but just slightly, "negro" can be used as a racial slur just as much as it is used as an endearing term, I'm hispanic myself also so I'm not just talking out of my ass when it comes to this stuff, and more often than not I hear people disparagingly talking about anyone with dark skin using such terms as black or negro, moreno or dark skin, prieto or really black, so on and so forth, I even remember some black people from when I was a child who's nicknames were simio and monkey, you also see this culture reflected in households when a parent finds out their white son or daughter is dating a black person, the feeling is not that of embrace but of displeasure or disappointment, you can also see this culture in telenovelas, the protagonists are never black in Hispanic countries, beauty pageants are dominated mostly by white people, there's also under representation of blacks in politics, surely there are more examples of racism in other cultures throughout Latin America but I'll leave there for now, all this to say that we are no different than say the US when it comes to how we view blacks south of the border, sure we're not killing them or denying them their rights, I happen to think blacks get along with whites better in Latin American compared to how they're treated in the US and Europe but it's undeniable that there is a bias and as a result blacks still get mistreated in Latin America 🙋🏻♂️

Uruguay was the first country to let black players play in the international team, not gonna act like our team is 50% black but we usually have at least 2 or 3 in it. Never realized Argentina doesn't have black players until I read the title, weird to think about it
Argentina's lack of black players always stood out to me. It always made me wonder if the land of silver appeared to have zero black people and if so, why?
those countries some of the white people STOP the other white people from doing what ARGENTINA did. which is to wipe the country. indigenious + blacks are not in Argentina AFTER the 1900's before that they were millions. because its covered up. average Argentina do not know millions of blacks were in Argentina and the land had a robust population of natives as well. AMERICAN JOSEPHINE BAKER toured in Argentina in the 1920's and ask a afro- Argentina at the airport (where are their negros) she told her it just "me and you"
@@cinnamonstar808 well don't know what is worst. To to wipe the native population or to try to wipe the natives, the African took by force and without succeeding keep discriminating them. Not to mention the national that they make their wealth with slavery trade and slavery work till almost the end of the 19th century...
I don't think it was the point he was trying to make. I do think it was out of curiosity. Take my country (Ireland) for example. We're white as hell and we've had players like Paul McGrath and Clinton Morrison in the past and today we have players like Chiedozie Ogbene, Andrew Omobamidele and Gavin Bazunu representing us.
I was NOT aware of Alejandro de los Santos and I consider myself a huge fan of the National Team. A son of slaves who came to Argentina at the end of the XIX century, when his parents died he moved from Entre Ríos (where he was born) to Buenos Aires and even played in my team San Lorenzo! And not just that, but he won the Copa America in 1925? I'm almost in tears. This is such moving story. Definitely the most beautiful historical fact I've learnt of recently.
Well i've lived for over 30 years in Buenos Aires and never seen a native black Argentine. In fact some people here call "black" to the typical latino skin color
im from venezuela, I been to argentina , the reason why there arent no blacks is because there are no black people in argentina , people there are white and some mestizos,, but no blacks at all.
Considering many black men and women were brought over during the transatlantic slave trade, why do you think there are no black argentines? Cause there definitely are, there isn’t many and that makes it easier to ignore them, suppress them and then act like they don’t exist.
@@kingsamuelofficialthe fact that the question didn't exist on a census doesn't mean they were invisible, come visit any city that other than Buenos Aires and you won't even see 10 black people, just different shades of brown, but you didn't considered them black enough.
Incredible how many people in the comments criticize my country for not having black players, accusing it of being racist. Nothing is more racist than assuming that we must have black people because we are from Latin America
The USA also brought Nazis, scientists or not, they worked for and with Hitler, they also hid Nazis. And if you think that there are no black people in Argentina you are quite wrong, visit the north of the country and enjoy.

@Antisocial Freak A not fair comparison is saying that Argentina is racist because a president said African argentine people are a problem. you are the most racist country on the world. We don't have African argentine footbalers because they are very few people black due to inmigration and demographic situations.
D Lenon i totally understand your reference but I think htc was focusing on Argentina because it was a former slave colony and is surrounded with mixed race countries. In favor of your point I do agree that some times we look into things a bit too much that aren’t relevant. We live in a world that doesn’t like racism but loves talking about it sadly
@D Lenon the reason why the topic was posed is not because black people are more important but when all your neighbors have had black players consistently playing for them and you have'nt considering that 60% of the nation was black at one point then its makes an interesting study.
@ I dont hate anyone brother, and I said it was interesting, I never said anything about racism. Its just intteresting from an anthropological view is all. There is one race my friend but many peoples, and I respect all cultures and all people, peace unto you my brother....☺☺☺
They are french tho,world cup are between nation not ethnic group or race,for example zidane are arab-french and he was french national team captain also messi litteraly descendent of italian immigrant
(11:36) Wrong! Argentina has not problems to admit its descendance, wether is African, Native or European. Secondly, the word "negro" is not only associated with social classes. It is also a word used to express affection towards somebody eg. "La Negra" Mercedes Sosa, "El Negro" Fontanarrosa, "El Negro Olmedo", "EL Negro Dolina" etc, etc....
@@silvergemteam I think it means mainly toward Amerindians. Many argentinas say their country is so European that it's like 90 percent. The truth is different. Argentina is a mentizo country. It's more like 60 40 But it does have more European mix than any other south American country
@@TheMan-qr5eh The majority of European descent in Argentina is a fact, it is not a better or worse country for that, nor its people worse or better, it really does not matter, it is just a curious fact, it also depends on the region of the country in which you are
Maybe you are just a racist who relates "Black = bad" and that is why you attribute the characteristic to Argentina to feel superior (srry for my english again)
Most comments haven't watched the full video it seems At around minute 5, it is correctly said that the NT doesn't have black players because the country doesn't have black people, amounting to less than 0.5% of the population, and it is stated that this is not racist in and of itself. But the reason why only 0.5% of our population is black CAN be traced to racist origins, from the XIX century and the 90s decade alike
The Yankees love to impose the culture of racism in other countries and they forget that in theirs 30 years ago black people could not use public bathrooms, they could not use public transportation and in 2024 it is common to see racial murders. In Argentina, a person was never killed because of their skin color, that is a thing of the Yankees and European colonizers.
Alfie, you need to make more content like this. Not only is this the most interesting football-related video I've ever watched, but also the sociopolitical side of football is always avoided. You could potentially build a different type of audience through videos like this.

Slight correction, Argentina abolished slavery in 1813 not 1853. In 1853 we adopted our first Constitution in which it was set into law that all people born on Argentine soil are free. And whilst the video does its best to summarize the afro-argentine experience, it's quite lacking in some areas, as for instance the understanding of race relations in Latin America in general. Let me preface this by saying that in no way am I condoning or agreeing with these statements, but they're based on the historical understanding of the time periods. Argentina, or at that time the Vice Royalty of the River Plate, was more of a backwoods hold out for the Spanish crown to hold off against French and British interests in the region. The vast majority of the Mid-Atlantic Slave Trade ended up going to Brazil (whom as a note only abolished slavery in 1888), and Argentina received a small fraction of it. I do wholeheartedly agree that after manumission was declared in 1813 the vast majority of black slaves in Argentina (or the United Provinces in that time period) were forcibly conscripted into the Liberation Armies as front-line cannon-fodder soldiers, and that's where you see the biggest dip in the Afro-Argentine population, followed by the War of the Triple Alliance. Compound to this the unfortunate decision to exterminate the Southern native tribes in what was known as the Desert Campaign of the 1860's, and the influx of European immigration that had it's peak from around the 1870's to the 1890's, and you have the perfect conditions for developing a nation that would identify strongly with its European roots than other nations in Latin America. One thing that is important to note is that the concept or race in Argentina was secondary to that of social class: call it a leftover of the Catholic Spanish way of running things, it is why the color of your skin in Argentina plays a secondary role to your place in society. And while it's true that later on Argentina had the typical view of race mainly shaped by the ideas of 19th Century Europe, there was a more sui generis approach to our understanding of it. This is why we don't distinguish our European ancestry by regionality: Spanish, Italian, German, French, Russian, Turkish, we don't have the anglocentric concept of hyphenating our national identity (ie: African-American, Italian-American, etc) and thus our views on what you would call race-relations (if you can even call it that) have a different approach than they do in the anglocentric nations. Hope this cleared up some misconceptions and I welcome any questions or discussions. :)
Really! Does this make you feel better! 1813 vs 1853 or 1888! The same story where ever and when ever this race goes! Full stop! Period! Then write revisionist/confusionist history!
@@integrito3323 unfortunately it's only recently in human history that we have reached an understanding that all humanity is one unified species.

Yes, wholeheartedly, but don't judge our forefathers for having pushed things back in their day. They were going against the grain of everything their generation held sacred.
@@integrito3323 Well if you take into account Argentina is a country since 1816, it means slavery is a crime in Argentina even before Argentina existed. You should blame Spain for whatever happened before that.

A lot of the data in this video is misleading or just plain wrong.... Argentina wasn't a "major part of the slave trade", there was barely anyone living in the Rio de la Plata back then. It was a forgotten backwater of the Spanish Empire. Sure, 30% of the population was black in 1810, but the population back then was only 500 thousand people! Add in the fact that 7.5 million European immigrants arrived in the following century (second largest recipient after the USA), and the fact that slavery and the slave trade were abolished very early (1812), and you can see how the black population of 150 thousand (30% of 500k) got dilluted due to that huge migratory wave of Europeans. 0.4% of the population today identifies as black, and genetic testing shows 7% has some black genes (such as that goalkeeper you mention), so it's all perfectly explained in the current demographics of the country. It's true that black people died in disproportionate numbers during the war in Paraguay, and that they were discriminated against during the 19th century, but to talk about genocide here is nonsense. You can bet that if there had been an organized ethnic cleansing campaign there would be historical evidence for it. A lot of this simply stems from not understanding statistics and Latin American demographics. 30% sounds like a lot, but it was a very tiny population that got overwhelmed by immigrants. There was no "one drop rule" here as in the British colonies. And again, 150 thousand black people got 7.5 million european immgrants dumped on top of them. So that explains how those genes got dilluted. Finally, that "97% identifies as white" is bullshit, that's some CIA estimate, Argentina doesn't keep tabs on the race of each citizen like you do in America or Britain. AFAIK, the national census doesn't ask about your race. Edit: Also, the first Argentine President Bernardino Rivadavia was part Black. 200 years before Obama. Seems like a big fact you ommited because it doesn't fit the narrative you are trying to create.
@@maktoobyt2009 wut? I'm just saying that the creator of the video doesn't understand race and how we view it in Latin America. Everybody here is kinda mixed. There was no "one drop rule" like in the British colonies. And slavery was abolished very early which explains why those genes got dilluted. Argentina was one of the first countries to abolish the slave trade and even our first president (Rivadavia) was part-black so this video is offensive to me in that he suggests we are all racist and wiped them out. He simply doesn't understand the history and the demographics.
@@salemsaberhagen8926 you are offended because he said, “you wiped them out by concentrating the disease in black area and putting them on the front row of the wars so they all die” is that not true? Why you so offended? What more racism do you want??????

It's the Italian immigrants of Argentina that contributed a lot on it's football. Di Stefano, Zanetti and Messi are of Italian descent, among many others. Plus Argentina sent most of it's black population to Brazil.
Football was mainly introduced because of the british railways, most clubs today were founded by railway workers and have anglo names. Although it's true that overall european immigration contributed a lot to it spreading so much.

Comparing any Hispanic American country's history to that of Brazil, which again had its own colonies in Africa, I just lies for idiots to buy. If those lies are aimed to harming those countries' images, they are an attack. I can see the same happening to Croatia

I have a sister historian and once she's gave me that explanation about of none black people in Argentina. Excellent video! I'm Brazilian and I have to say, through the years I saw a lot of racisms cases on soccer in games against Brazilian and Argentines. I think one of my nostalgics and good memories on soccer was the Velez Sarsfield from 94. That team was fantastic! They played Boca, Cruzeiro, Palmeiras... All clubs more traditional and the players never looked nervous playing under pressure. Aways playing a really good football. After that through the years I saw so many racisms cases liked a said before and I start to desliked the argentines, overall. The last decade I think was the best years about relationship between Brazilian and Argentines. Messi aways said how the brazilians helped him on the barcelona and maybe people outside of Brazil and Argentina don't know how específic the relationship between Messi and Ronaldinho, that friendship was important for that. My Brazilian team had a great argentine player from the Velez, Lucas Pratto and in 2014 I went to Buenos Aires and one thing I did was visited the El fortin, Velez Stadium. I went there with my GALO Ronaldinho Shirt and literally everybody was talk with me, some guys was trying to buy my shirt or trading in other shirts, was crazy! The Velez Sarsfield Store, when I went there, the whole staff came to me and we was talking about football.

@Quantum partly due to it being further from the equator, so the UV Ray's aren't as strong, which means the pigments arent as dark. As well as a few problems listed in the video.
No, I come because I like to see how the outside works sees us. The thing is a bleck person, like really deep black not brown, would be a sight to see in what we call the Interior, we have many brown people descendants of native Americans but in the world they are not considered black. All the black people here mostly had children with whiter people, so we all mixed that's why we are not that white either. In 1813 we abolished slavery for children, he didn't mention that, even before that we didn't have much plantatios because it too cold in the south and in the north there was many people to work already (the natives) in the only region were many black people lived we had a war, and it's not like we sent them to war. The country was dismembered we didn't have any president or higher authority that was really respected so the other provinces didn't want anything to participate on the war. So all those provinces (3 or 4) had to defend themselves and offered freedom to slaves if they participate in the war. That's why many died there, but thet weren't the "front lines" they were all the lines. The yellow fever affected EVEYBODY so we shouldn't considered that a cause the poorer section wasn't just the released slaves (they weren't even the majority) the greater population affected were rhe poor immigrants mostly Italians. This video is misleading, go do a Google search Sarmiento has a statue in the central park, he build schools everywhere and educated us the level of illiteracy fell to 2 %, we were the most educated country in the world at that time. So yes the guy may have been racis, honestly I don't know but it wouldn't have been weird in his time. And remember that at that time Europe was pillaging Africa and the US had segregation.

@@del.see.oh.89 Yeah I just always found it weird that Argentina seemed to not have their own percentage of African descendants, 1 colored football player in the national teams history is by any standards bizarre. Now that I know even when travelling in the country that there is no native African /Argentine people walking around the cities etc is even more of a strange incident. Thanks for sharing your experience, as a person who has done a fair bit of travelling myself it is almost unique compared to the majority of other countries.
@@ziskador In this instance basically bcoz of the Atlantic Slave trade and as many Africans arrived in many other countries in South America Iv always questioned the lack of black football players in the Argentine national team. I just found it noticeable through the years iv followed them as I could never think of any tbh
XI of the most capped players. The best XI you can make from every nations most capped player. Like Ronaldo and Messi for Portugal and Argentina would be in the starting eleven because they are the best.
🇵🇹 has more African descent players than 🇦🇷, it seems no one seems 2 say any word about Portugal having 10-15% of their roster are black. I guess people from 🇵🇹 are more entitled than people from 🇦🇷. As for Leo Messi, I guess Argentina doesn’t want you there anymore and maybe playing for 🇪🇸 could’ve happen before 2005
You can ask too why don't Argentina have any chinese players... simply because the percentage of italian/spanish descendants is much higher, so probability is in favor of players with last names like Batistuta and López.
What a fine mix of a woman who is of African decent aswell as Argentinian, that to me sounds perfect as I find Argentinian women beautiful and I really like Black women just as equally. I can imagine the figure she would have with the mix of both genes, my fantasy definitely.
@@kobe51 They systemically wiped out their black population and nearly eradicated the natives as well. Now its a bunch of Italian descendants who idealize Hitler’s politics.
@@personanon-grata _'They systemically wiped out their black population and nearly eradicated the natives as well. Now its a bunch of Italian descendants who idealize Hitler’s politics.'_ The low black population in this country is, among other reasons, due to the high black infant mortality rates in the mid-19th century. By the beginning of the 20th century, 30% of the Argentine population was immigrant. Take into account that European immigration (Italians, Spanish, Germans, Slavs) explained more than half of the growth of the Argentine population in the mid-20th century.
3:00 Maradona is not white, he clearly is mixed, of Indigenous descent. Not everybody is just white or black, you probably have little knowledge of different ethnicities and appearances
In 1996, during a diplomatic trip to the United States, when asked about the black population of Argentina, President Carlos Menem remarked: "Black people do not exist in Argentina, Brazil has that problem".
@@Reyludd you should know that the prophet said that “There is no superiority of an Arab over a non-Arab, or of a non-Arab over an Arab, and no superiority of a white person over a black person or of a black person over a white person, except on the basis of personal piety and righteousness.” So stop linking racism to islam.
In an encyclopedia as a kid I read that Argentina's slave population was absorbed into the gene pool by the influx of Europeans. And that there were a small group of slave descendants who escaped to remote regions of Argentina.
Could you kindly explain, Mr. expert, as to why you dispute his sources? You are quite vague and nebulous in your critique! What part of his video do you have issues with? Do you wish to white-wash Argentina and spuriously claim that they did not participate in the slave trade? Or there was a substantive Black population until the nation's political leaders made a conscious decision to import Europeans to Argentina to make the nation whiter? You are entitled to your own opinions, not your own facts...
@@nounnoun My doubt came with the section of the word "negro". It sickens me how a man that does not live here and doesnt know our culture has the audacity to pretend he knows how we talk, the word negro is so versatile that we use it in many kind ways, and also you can use it in a mean way if you want to. But you have to add a negative adjective next to it, doesnt it happens to every word? Its not like the American or brittish N-word. they try to adjudicate their poblems to us. Like the Cavani incident, he saluted a friend in twitter that his nickname was "negro" and the Premier League penalized him. I mean, if you think that word is bad who is the racist? If you dont live here and know our culture, shut the fuck up
The video was made before, and do you need courage to plagiarize a racist article full of lies for money? Because that's what this guy did, that's why he didn't cite any sources. It's all lies he took from a racist US newspaper article that gets re-plagiarized every 4 years
Racism is a historical issue behind that but there's also the matter of south Asian families not wanting their children to pursue sporting careers, preferring academic routes to wealth. Same with east Asian and Jewish families too.
You are wrong about the term "negro" it can mean a huge number of things depending on the context. it can have negative intent but most of the time it does not... my family in Argentina is half Arab and half Italian and they use this word all the time without any negative intentions. saying "mi negro" a lot of the time means my friend and is a very loosely used term almost like saying "dude" in the US. not only Argentinians use the word in this way. Uruguayans, Chileans, Paraguayans etc. use it as well.
the US afro people came up with the idea not to use it because since they do not speak any languages they did not know what it meant, they just decided that it meant to label people who were enslaved, someone wrote a book I'm not your Negro so since then they decided they want it to strike it from being used in the US and they asserted they want it to call themselves Black rather than negro, and then 20 years later they decided to call themselves Afro-Americans. Smokey Robinson a Black singer announced on TV that he does not want to be called afro american because he has never been to Africa and has no intentions of setting foot there, he stated he wants to be called Black because of his link to Texas.
@@terroralcrimen The US hyphenates all non-germanic ethnicities, you have lots of African-American, Italian-American, Asian-American, but not one Swedish-American, Belgian-American or even British-American. The segregational hyphen is a privilege reserved for those whose ancestors didn't natively speak a Germanic language
Argentina's population was 36% black in 1816 when it became a nation. Shortly after independence, the white population went on an ethnic cleansing of the black population. While a large number of blacks were killed, another portion of the population got married into white families in order to acquire higher social privilege. Even though a lot of Argentine may not look black or identify as black, a large number of them have african dna in their blood. Complexion and ethinicity are not the same.

Because france is in Europe :) I know I’ve made myself a target for some r/woosh comment but I answered in the easiest and most understandable way but still knowing where his thinking comes from He thinks beeing black makes somebody only African which is wrong Any so called race can come from different countries and guess what… Every human being has ancestors from Africa :) So by that logic everybody is African Hope that helped
This guy is contempful of conspiracy theories except when they regard white people conspiring for racist purposes. I'm talking about the war to kill their own black population
even though only ~0.4% identify as african, genetics studies have found out that it's quite a lot higher, ranging from 4% to 9% depending on the source
Yes, black woman due to cultural pressure went out of their way to breed with lighter skinned or white europeans. One of the many contributing factors to why people feel awkward about being black in that country.
@@Isuckatgames No it doesn't, but the context here is presumably people of black African heritage who were transported over to South America as slaves.
The substitute goalkeeper for Argentina in the 1978 World Cup was black, his name is Baley. He was the last black player that the Argentine team had. Most of the black players who play in Argentina are foreigners. There are very few black and Argentine players, in the future there will surely be them and descendants of immigrants who have entered our country in recent years. Best regards.
Because they lost the war, and after WW2, there was a mass amount of protests!! It's documented. Japanese players from the J league, wanted a pure Nippon team, that help them win the world cup.

Yeah i was gonna say. Theres plenty of argentines with amerindian decent, they make up 20-30% of the total gene pool for them according to genetic studies.
Short answer my dear English speakers. Argentina didn't have a law of racial segregation, It wasn't like America and other countries of the British Empire with a sickening ban on blacks and whites approaching, marrying or having children. It never had a sign like a typical American place in the '50s or '60s "NO BLACKS, NO MEXICAN ALLOWED ONLY WHITES" With that segregation law America, South Africa and several others maintained the black race. We must be careful in making statements about black people, although I don't remember in Hispanic America it is very impossible to find players with strong African ancestry. Bolivia, Peru, Mexico have strong indigenous ancestry, but because they have dark skin they would not be in the "Afro-" category as they do in America. The countries with more African influence are in Colombia, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Panama, Venezuela, and so on. How many countries did Spain colonise? Are there numbers of slaves that Spain sent to the Americas?
Stop talking out ur ass. Argentina actively eradicated the Afro Argentinas. No wonder the Nazis escaped to Argentina. Brazil Uruguay Paraguay all got strong Afro population for a reason
pepe0801 there is a reason the nazis found it secure to hide in Argentina. Quick google search would really help you instead of rambling on ur bullshit
@@frankadaado2722 during WW2 there was a government in Argentina that liked the nazi regime. To be more precise, just the president, who decided to protect German refugees.

wow didn’t except you to be here
Thats inaccurate but just slightly, "negro" can be used as a racial slur just as much as it is used as an endearing term, I'm hispanic myself also so I'm not just talking out of my ass when it comes to this stuff, and more often than not I hear people disparagingly talking about anyone with dark skin using such terms as black or negro, moreno or dark skin, prieto or really black, so on and so forth, I even remember some black people from when I was a child who's nicknames were simio and monkey, you also see this culture reflected in households when a parent finds out their white son or daughter is dating a black person, the feeling is not that of embrace but of displeasure or disappointment, you can also see this culture in telenovelas, the protagonists are never black in Hispanic countries, beauty pageants are dominated mostly by white people, there's also under representation of blacks in politics, surely there are more examples of racism in other cultures throughout Latin America but I'll leave there for now, all this to say that we are no different than say the US when it comes to how we view blacks south of the border, sure we're not killing them or denying them their rights, I happen to think blacks get along with whites better in Latin American compared to how they're treated in the US and Europe but it's undeniable that there is a bias and as a result blacks still get mistreated in Latin America 🙋🏻♂️

But the reason why only 0.5% of our population is black CAN be traced to racist origins, from the XIX century and the 90s decade alike

@@kevintanza6968 idiot … like I care I’m just pointing out stupidness
You know, I never really thought about it until I clicked on this video. This is an elite TH-cam channel.
Slight correction, Argentina abolished slavery in 1813 not 1853. In 1853 we adopted our first Constitution in which it was set into law that all people born on Argentine soil are free. And whilst the video does its best to summarize the afro-argentine experience, it's quite lacking in some areas, as for instance the understanding of race relations in Latin America in general. Let me preface this by saying that in no way am I condoning or agreeing with these statements, but they're based on the historical understanding of the time periods.
Argentina, or at that time the Vice Royalty of the River Plate, was more of a backwoods hold out for the Spanish crown to hold off against French and British interests in the region. The vast majority of the Mid-Atlantic Slave Trade ended up going to Brazil (whom as a note only abolished slavery in 1888), and Argentina received a small fraction of it.
I do wholeheartedly agree that after manumission was declared in 1813 the vast majority of black slaves in Argentina (or the United Provinces in that time period) were forcibly conscripted into the Liberation Armies as front-line cannon-fodder soldiers, and that's where you see the biggest dip in the Afro-Argentine population, followed by the War of the Triple Alliance. Compound to this the unfortunate decision to exterminate the Southern native tribes in what was known as the Desert Campaign of the 1860's, and the influx of European immigration that had it's peak from around the 1870's to the 1890's, and you have the perfect conditions for developing a nation that would identify strongly with its European roots than other nations in Latin America.
One thing that is important to note is that the concept or race in Argentina was secondary to that of social class: call it a leftover of the Catholic Spanish way of running things, it is why the color of your skin in Argentina plays a secondary role to your place in society. And while it's true that later on Argentina had the typical view of race mainly shaped by the ideas of 19th Century Europe, there was a more sui generis approach to our understanding of it. This is why we don't distinguish our European ancestry by regionality: Spanish, Italian, German, French, Russian, Turkish, we don't have the anglocentric concept of hyphenating our national identity (ie: African-American, Italian-American, etc) and thus our views on what you would call race-relations (if you can even call it that) have a different approach than they do in the anglocentric nations.
Hope this cleared up some misconceptions and I welcome any questions or discussions. :)
Thank you for the additional info! Certainly helps to show the whole picture
Really! Does this make you feel better! 1813 vs 1853 or 1888! The same story where ever and when ever this race goes! Full stop! Period! Then write revisionist/confusionist history!

@@integrito3323 unfortunately it's only recently in human history that we have reached an understanding that all humanity is one unified species. You have to empathize with the thinking of the times and understand how revolutionary it was. It's easy to look back with our views and belittle how backwards things were, but the mere fact that these ideals were enshrined was revolutionary back then. Should we do better now? Yes, wholeheartedly, but don't judge our forefathers for having pushed things back in their day. They were going against the grain of everything their generation held sacred.
@@integrito3323 Well if you take into account Argentina is a country since 1816, it means slavery is a crime in Argentina even before Argentina existed. You should blame Spain for whatever happened before that.
The comment section is interesting. most did not watch the video to know why Argentina don't have black players but they are posting comments like "same reason Ghana, Nigeria, Togo don't have white players". Very strange
It is because of the title of the clip that has caused people like me to leave comments without actually watching it.

A lot of the data in this video is misleading or just plain wrong.... Argentina wasn't a "major part of the slave trade", there was barely anyone living in the Rio de la Plata back then. It was a forgotten backwater of the Spanish Empire.
Sure, 30% of the population was black in 1810, but the population back then was only 500 thousand people!
Add in the fact that 7.5 million European immigrants arrived in the following century (second largest recipient after the USA), and the fact that slavery and the slave trade were abolished very early (1812), and you can see how the black population of 150 thousand (30% of 500k) got dilluted due to that huge migratory wave of Europeans.
0.4% of the population today identifies as black, and genetic testing shows 7% has some black genes (such as that goalkeeper you mention), so it's all perfectly explained in the current demographics of the country. It's true that black people died in disproportionate numbers during the war in Paraguay, and that they were discriminated against during the 19th century, but to talk about genocide here is nonsense. You can bet that if there had been an organized ethnic cleansing campaign there would be historical evidence for it. A lot of this simply stems from not understanding statistics and Latin American demographics. 30% sounds like a lot, but it was a very tiny population that got overwhelmed by immigrants. There was no "one drop rule" here as in the British colonies. And again, 150 thousand black people got 7.5 million european immgrants dumped on top of them.
So that explains how those genes got dilluted.
Finally, that "97% identifies as white" is bullshit, that's some CIA estimate, Argentina doesn't keep tabs on the race of each citizen like you do in America or Britain. AFAIK, the national census doesn't ask about your race.
Edit: Also, the first Argentine President Bernardino Rivadavia was part Black. 200 years before Obama. Seems like a big fact you ommited because it doesn't fit the narrative you are trying to create.
You seem to be hiding something with all this garbage.
@@maktoobyt2009 wut?
I'm just saying that the creator of the video doesn't understand race and how we view it in Latin America. Everybody here is kinda mixed. There was no "one drop rule" like in the British colonies. And slavery was abolished very early which explains why those genes got dilluted.
Argentina was one of the first countries to abolish the slave trade and even our first president (Rivadavia) was part-black so this video is offensive to me in that he suggests we are all racist and wiped them out. He simply doesn't understand the history and the demographics.
@@maktoobyt2009 All of this you can read in Wikipedia by the way it's common knowledge.

It's the Italian immigrants of Argentina that contributed a lot on it's football. Di Stefano, Zanetti and Messi are of Italian descent, among many others.
Plus Argentina sent most of it's black population to Brazil.
Football was mainly introduced because of the british railways, most clubs today were founded by railway workers and have anglo names. Although it's true that overall european immigration contributed a lot to it spreading so much.
Lavezzi, Sensini, Batistuta, Caniggia and Pochettino are of Italian descent too
Crespo too
Also Maradona is

Y los esclavos que de cualquier modo se introduzcan quedan libres por el solo hecho de pisar el territorio de la República."
Lo cual denuncia un presente en el cual ya de por si la esclavitud era un fenomeno raro o incluso inexistente en algunas provincias , es un articulo que mas que nada cubre la posibilidad de defender a futuros esclavos ingresados por medios ilegales. Mi punto es que por la forma en que narra los hechos nos hace quedar como una nación esclavista hasta entrado el siglo XIX, cuando ya de por si ese fenomento habia dejado de ser importante en los 1820.

I have a sister historian and once she's gave me that explanation about of none black people in Argentina. Excellent video! I'm Brazilian and I have to say, through the years I saw a lot of racisms cases on soccer in games against Brazilian and Argentines. I think one of my nostalgics and good memories on soccer was the Velez Sarsfield from 94. That team was fantastic! They played Boca, Cruzeiro, Palmeiras... All clubs more traditional and the players never looked nervous playing under pressure. Aways playing a really good football. After that through the years I saw so many racisms cases liked a said before and I start to desliked the argentines, overall. The last decade I think was the best years about relationship between Brazilian and Argentines. Messi aways said how the brazilians helped him on the barcelona and maybe people outside of Brazil and Argentina don't know how específic the relationship between Messi and Ronaldinho, that friendship was important for that. My Brazilian team had a great argentine player from the Velez, Lucas Pratto and in 2014 I went to Buenos Aires and one thing I did was visited the El fortin, Velez Stadium. I went there with my GALO Ronaldinho Shirt and literally everybody was talk with me, some guys was trying to buy my shirt or trading in other shirts, was crazy! The Velez Sarsfield Store, when I went there, the whole staff came to me and we was talking about football. I think was more than one hour and the guys was talking so passionate about the brazilians players and I about the argentines. They gave me a discount on shirt, gifts... One of the best days a ever and I'm not sure if that day would be possible in 10 or 15 years ago.

All the black people here mostly had children with whiter people, so we all mixed that's why we are not that white either.
In 1813 we abolished slavery for children, he didn't mention that, even before that we didn't have much plantatios because it too cold in the south and in the north there was many people to work already (the natives) in the only region were many black people lived we had a war, and it's not like we sent them to war. The country was dismembered we didn't have any president or higher authority that was really respected so the other provinces didn't want anything to participate on the war. So all those provinces (3 or 4) had to defend themselves and offered freedom to slaves if they participate in the war. That's why many died there, but thet weren't the "front lines" they were all the lines.

The low black population in this country is, among other reasons, due to the high black infant mortality rates in the mid-19th century.
By the beginning of the 20th century, 30% of the Argentine population was immigrant.
Take into account that European immigration (Italians, Spanish, Germans, Slavs) explained more than half of the growth of the Argentine population in the mid-20th century.
For me Juan Sebastian Veron is black every other day.
I always thought veron was black
I thought so too
His father, also a footballer, is not black. I don't know about his mother, so he might actually be of mixed heritage.
Veron was black
He's red:)
I thought it said BACK players, which would also make a valid football video
Such violence 🙆🏾♂️😂
3:00 Maradona is not white, he clearly is mixed, of Indigenous descent. Not everybody is just white or black, you probably have little knowledge of different ethnicities and appearances
In 1996, during a diplomatic trip to the United States, when asked about the black population of Argentina, President Carlos Menem remarked: "Black people do not exist in Argentina, Brazil has that problem".
And carlos menem was muslim. Funny thing.
@@Reyludd what’s funny about that? U realise Muslims aren’t a race. Plenty of white Muslims.
@@Reyludd the prophet Mohammed even had black slaves
@@Reyludd wasnt muslim, he was from arabic descent wich is different
@@Reyludd you should know that the prophet said that
“There is no superiority of an Arab over a non-Arab, or of a non-Arab over an Arab, and no superiority of a white person over a black person or of a black person over a white person, except on the basis of personal piety and righteousness.”
So stop linking racism to islam.
In an encyclopedia as a kid I read that Argentina's slave population was absorbed into the gene pool by the influx of Europeans. And that there were a small group of slave descendants who escaped to remote regions of Argentina.
I can't decide what's worse, his sources or his pronunciation
Could you kindly explain, Mr. expert, as to why you dispute his sources? You are quite vague and nebulous in your critique! What part of his video do you have issues with? Do you wish to white-wash Argentina and spuriously claim that they did not participate in the slave trade? Or there was a substantive Black population until the nation's political leaders made a conscious decision to import Europeans to Argentina to make the nation whiter? You are entitled to your own opinions, not your own facts...
@@nounnoun My doubt came with the section of the word "negro". It sickens me how a man that does not live here and doesnt know our culture has the audacity to pretend he knows how we talk, the word negro is so versatile that we use it in many kind ways, and also you can use it in a mean way if you want to. But you have to add a negative adjective next to it, doesnt it happens to every word? Its not like the American or brittish N-word. they try to adjudicate their poblems to us. Like the Cavani incident, he saluted a friend in twitter that his nickname was "negro" and the Premier League penalized him. I mean, if you think that word is bad who is the racist? If you dont live here and know our culture, shut the fuck up
After FIFA WC 2022. What a courage you have to discuss this issue. It was well delivered. Well done!!!
The video was made before, and do you need courage to plagiarize a racist article full of lies for money? Because that's what this guy did, that's why he didn't cite any sources. It's all lies he took from a racist US newspaper article that gets re-plagiarized every 4 years
Brilliant video this mate, found it unbelievably interesting
I barely see any Pakistani , Indian or Bengali English players but there are so many people of that origin in England
They play cricket and have represented England.
because Cricket is their favorite game not Football.
They are considered Black in South America I lived in Bolivia Peru chile and Brazil seen Indian Arabs and Pakistani all are been called Black .
Racism is a historical issue behind that but there's also the matter of south Asian families not wanting their children to pursue sporting careers, preferring academic routes to wealth. Same with east Asian and Jewish families too.
You are wrong about the term "negro" it can mean a huge number of things depending on the context. it can have negative intent but most of the time it does not... my family in Argentina is half Arab and half Italian and they use this word all the time without any negative intentions. saying "mi negro" a lot of the time means my friend and is a very loosely used term almost like saying "dude" in the US. not only Argentinians use the word in this way. Uruguayans, Chileans, Paraguayans etc. use it as well.

the US afro people came up with the idea not to use it because since they do not speak any languages they did not know what it meant, they just decided that it meant to label people who were enslaved, someone wrote a book I'm not your Negro so since then they decided they want it to strike it from being used in the US and they asserted they want it to call themselves Black rather than negro, and then 20 years later they decided to call themselves Afro-Americans. Smokey Robinson a Black singer announced on TV that he does not want to be called afro american because he has never been to Africa and has no intentions of setting foot there, he stated he wants to be called Black because of his link to Texas.
@@terroralcrimen The US hyphenates all non-germanic ethnicities, you have lots of African-American, Italian-American, Asian-American, but not one Swedish-American, Belgian-American or even British-American. The segregational hyphen is a privilege reserved for those whose ancestors didn't natively speak a Germanic language
Shit I’m Puerto Rican and I’m more on the Afro side and everybody call me “negrito” or “negro” 😂
Argentina's population was 36% black in 1816 when it became a nation. Shortly after independence, the white population went on an ethnic cleansing of the black population. While a large number of blacks were killed, another portion of the population got married into white families in order to acquire higher social privilege. Even though a lot of Argentine may not look black or identify as black, a large number of them have african dna in their blood.
Complexion and ethinicity are not the same.

Because france is in Europe :)
I know I’ve made myself a target for some r/woosh comment but I answered in the easiest and most understandable way but still knowing where his thinking comes from
He thinks beeing black makes somebody only African which is wrong
Any so called race can come from different countries and guess what…
Every human being has ancestors from Africa :)
So by that logic everybody is African
Hope that helped
@@abuelitooo Exactly
Argentina's team is 100% african
Now stop complaining and start climbing to a semaphore to celebrate like we do
@@abuelitooo because the real fance is trash
This guy is contempful of conspiracy theories except when they regard white people conspiring for racist purposes. I'm talking about the war to kill their own black population
😂😂😂😂😂😂
even though only ~0.4% identify as african, genetics studies have found out that it's quite a lot higher, ranging from 4% to 9% depending on the source
Some are scared to admit they're part black. Sad
African does not mean black
Yes, black woman due to cultural pressure went out of their way to breed with lighter skinned or white europeans. One of the many contributing factors to why people feel awkward about being black in that country.
@@Isuckatgames No it doesn't, but the context here is presumably people of black African heritage who were transported over to South America as slaves.
Audiovisual so true
The substitute goalkeeper for Argentina in the 1978 World Cup was black, his name is Baley. He was the last black player that the Argentine team had. Most of the black players who play in Argentina are foreigners. There are very few black and Argentine players, in the future there will surely be them and descendants of immigrants who have entered our country in recent years. Best regards.
Chocolaté Balley! I remember him well.
He must've lost his start to Fillol, because a lot of team photos from '77-'78 are with Balley.
Why are there no white players playing for Japan?
Because they lost the war, and after WW2, there was a mass amount of protests!! It's documented. Japanese players from the J league, wanted a pure Nippon team, that help them win the world cup.
They will soon
There was one i think, well hes half

Referring to Maradona as white is totally incorrect. His heritage is southern Italian and Guarani (native South American).
Yeah i was gonna say. Theres plenty of argentines with amerindian decent, they make up 20-30% of the total gene pool for them according to genetic studies.
You missed Roberto Telch who played for Argentina in the early 70s. Clearly he has Africa roots.
and chocolate balley
Short answer my dear English speakers.
Argentina didn't have a law of racial segregation, It wasn't like America and other countries of the British Empire with a sickening ban on blacks and whites approaching, marrying or having children.
It never had a sign like a typical American place in the '50s or '60s "NO BLACKS, NO MEXICAN ALLOWED ONLY WHITES"
With that segregation law America, South Africa and several others maintained the black race.
We must be careful in making statements about black people, although I don't remember in Hispanic America it is very impossible to find players with strong African ancestry.
Bolivia, Peru, Mexico have strong indigenous ancestry, but because they have dark skin they would not be in the "Afro-" category as they do in America. The countries with more African influence are in Colombia, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Panama, Venezuela, and so on. How many countries did Spain colonise? Are there numbers of slaves that Spain sent to the Americas?
Stop talking out ur ass. Argentina actively eradicated the Afro Argentinas. No wonder the Nazis escaped to Argentina. Brazil Uruguay Paraguay all got strong Afro population for a reason
@@frankadaado2722 no black population either in Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay and really low in Uruguay
pepe0801 there is a reason the nazis found it secure to hide in Argentina. Quick google search would really help you instead of rambling on ur bullshit
Juan Pablo yes I know but they all violated the ethnic population to different degrees
@@frankadaado2722 during WW2 there was a government in Argentina that liked the nazi regime. To be more precise, just the president, who decided to protect German refugees. That was only a president and not the entire argentine population. For your reference, in Argentina happily lives the third largest jewish community after Jarusalem and NY.
