Why Anti-Blackness Runs Deep in Argentina

- It's no secret that Argentina has long taken pride in its European heritage. Argentina’s mythical Eurocentric view of its self image as a white nation with a zero sum history of a black population is obviously definitively false. Why? Because Anti-Blackness runs deep in Argentina. Despite major waves of European migration there are pockets of afro-latino communities in virtually every Latin American country from Chile to Mexico. Countries where significant populations consider themselves of African ancestry are Brazil, Guyana, Suriname, Colombia and Ecuador but on the flip side these 4 countries currently stand out as having significantly less figures than any of the others with at most 1 percent of their populations being of African or mostly African ancestry Chile, Bolivia, Mexico and the highlight of this video Argentina.

You didn’t watch the video did you? There was a genocide
@@socalbarbie1040God Bless our founding fathers!! We achieved our goal! A White nation yessss 💪💪.
@@socalbarbie1040no, it was not

Hahahaha genocide? We never was a slavery and colonialist country.
I am Brazilian. But 90% of slaves in south america came to Brazil. Argentina had very small portion
Blanqueamiento in Spanish, or branqueamento in Portuguese (both meaning whitening), is a social, political, and economic practice used in many post-colonial countries in the Americas and Oceania to "improve the race" (mejorar la raza) towards a supposed ideal of whiteness.The term blanqueamiento is rooted in Latin America and is used more or less synonymously with racial whitening. However, blanqueamiento can be considered in both the symbolic and biological sense.[ Symbolically, blanqueamiento represents an ideology that emerged from legacies of European colonialism, described by Anibal Quijano's theory of coloniality of power, which caters to white dominance in social hierarchies.Biologically, blanqueamiento is the process of whitening by marrying a lighter-skinned individual to produce lighter-skinned offspring.
Don't be stupid if that was true, black people was banned in the country.
@@haveongatey3267 As a White Argentinian I am very proud of what we did in the past 💪💪. God bless our founding fathers that Came from Europe. We achieved our goal.
Im Argentinian, my grandparents were German, Italian and Basque. I have never met a black guy. Just facts. Stop with this. We are not racists.
As argentine myself. The first time I saw a black person . I was 19 years old
Wow! Almost 2 decades!
@@RisenAfrica yeah trust me it wasn’t a common thing outside the tourist capital, at least back in the 90s 2000s and no we aren’t anti black is just a demographic thing of the modern argentina
Get them out before it's too late, before you realize "diversity" is a scam.
@ricardopalavecino1908 lies. You need to go back to your country's history. Stop deflecting and take responsibility for the atrocities.
yet your country was built by blacks 😂😂
Let's work together and build Africa so that Africa can be a home and a place of refuge for Black people all over the world. When we do that then we won't have time for other people's attitudes. Cheers from South Africa 🇿🇦
I agree. Best wishes from Kenya 🇰🇪
Even the racists would be happy
@kmakiable Beautiful put! And I agree wholeheartedly 👍🏾
Have fun with that clusterfhuck.
There is a reason more black people leave
Africa than move there. The governments are nuts, and the people little better than sheep.
@@marlonmarquez4798pfft a racist will never be happy why do you think their called a racist?
I am Argentine, born and raised in Patagonia, Puerto Madryn. My grandparents were Catalan, Basque and Italian, like most of the people I know, with the exception of some German, Russian, Mapuche, etc. I never met an Afro-descendant, I saw a black person for the first time when I grew up, in my city many Senegalese and Central Americans came to live in the last decade
No somos negros.
Argentina is one of the first countries in the world to apply the law of freedom of wombs in 1813, Argentina is a livestock country, it did not have large plantations like the others, little slave labor was used. Since there was so little segregation, the people mixed with the 5 million Europeans who arrived, the blacks were only 8,000. In the Paraguayan war the two black regiments were not enlisted, it was not necessary. everything is false
Patagonia and most national territories like chaco were settled much later than the slave trade and the downfall of the spanish empire. Simply nobody from africa came or was brought to these areas of the country. This video is bollocks
Argentina is super racist. there were 2 million slaves brought to argentina but when slavery was outlawed, most were murdered is several genocides in Uruguay (was part of argentina at that time) and central argentina.
@@efrenhei4902 that's not true, Argentina had a sizable African slaves population, they were almost all murdered in several genocide and plagues.
i'm Argentinian and actually a mestizo, idk what the purpose is about this documentary. to tell the truth i was a teenager the first time i saw a black person. it's just the way it is. it's ridiculous to be ashamed about ones own background, so i don't have to apologize to be have european ancestors. by the way, right now there is a very big african community here, like i've never seen before. very good and hardworking poeple, there are also a lot of brazilians. despite the intentions of this video, Argentina it's not a racist country, that was just politics back then, like in the US, Australia etc etc
nunca vi que alguien discrimine a los africanos, pero les llenan la cabeza con que somos racistas y nosotros declaramos a todos libres mucho antes que estados unidos, en 1813
nunca tuvimos una politica de segregacion ni nada, no se de donde salio esa mentira.
Encima como no hay registros porque es todo verso, dicen que lo borraron de la historia. Man, nunca paso!
The purpose is to kick a country that no one knows about, like with Borat for Kazakhstan. It's for internet clout while relying on the ignorance of their audience.
Congratulation for sticking to your ignorance. You only proven what a fool you are. This documentary is just here to acknowledge the past as anybody should with history.
Remember to pastor you're not doomed to repeat it. Keep moving forward for a better future for all the people within your nation. Nobody trying to make you feel like shit for being her continued. If anything they want you to recognize that the black people of your nation are also argentinians as well as you. You can absolutely be proud of your European heritage. Just don't be proud of that European ignorance that came with it. Erase that part. Every culture has some batshit they've done and some skeletons in their closet. It doesn't mean you can't be proud of your people's achievements. But acknowledged the skeletons and deal with them.
It matters because Argentina murdered its black citizens. It is also the home of Nazis who escaped prosecutions for their crimes against humanity.
@@avigrett1484 False... and if you're from the USA you surely know nazi scientists went to work with your government after the war, don't you? and activelly supported the regime through IBM, Ford...
Friend in Argentina we are not racist, we hate everyone equally.😂😂
eso es bueno, te odiamos y tú nos odias 🤝🏻
LOL!....Says a Neanderthal.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
how is that 56% of population now is below poverty level working for you?
very well, the poorer people, the more power we rich people have.@@seanou2837
It's kind of funny to be Argentinian and get to find videos like this pointing us as racists. For those out of the country, think whatever you want, we don't even care. Only us, we know we aren't a racist society and we don't need any recognition for that. We always receive people from all over the globe and no one is mistreated here. We also tend to include them so well that foreigners end up taking our costumes as theirs. We don't negate History and the things our ancestors did, but there's nothing we can do about that, only to know about the theme and to not repeat it.
La posta, flashean que por ser en mayoria blancos y mestizos somos racistas. No se hasta que punto eso tambien no es racista
I’m happy to hear that. I’m traveling through Latin America, and I’ve been wary of going to Argentina. I had a feeling there would be no issue, especially if I bother no one.
@@escapethebotnet hey don't worry, dude! Being white, mid toned, black or whatever, you can come to the country knowing nothing bad's gonna happen.
Fun fact people from the outside don't know or may not understand: we tend to use "negro" (the N word) to refer to a friend or a beloved one, just showing affection.
Also, perhaps if you're in Buenos Aires nobody's gonna look at you bc people there live at their fast speed, but in other provinces, such as mine, if there is a black person, people may look at them but not because of hatred or racism, just simply because of curiosity. I know it can be weird or shocking, but it's just that. Trust me when I say we are friendly as fuck lol. The world media tried to make us look racists after last FIFA world cup.
@@escapethebotnet Racism towards blacks doesn't exist unless you are from Africa, look unclean or dont speak Spanish/English, not because of race but because of the place and context of origin. A black american would never have that problem for instance.
Nowadays i'd say racism is mostly directed towards the northern neighbours, because a bunch of them illegally occupy terrains, houses and even their descendants make a big proportion of thieves in the streets. Just as Musli-m men do in Sweden.
It's not about race, it's about what group makes the most problems in a country. For instance, 100 years ago my friends' Italian families were discriminated for being poor. While here, muslims had absolutely no problem assimilating (mostly because they are all legal and well behaved)
I think you’re thinking of a group of people close to you, I’m not a racist.But I think most of argentinians sadly are.Most of the time unconsciously.
This president of Argentina was giving a speech at the recent BRICS summit in South Africa not too long ago after they accepted their BRICS membership, and in that video conference behind him on the wall there was a painting of Nelson Mandela, I just laughed and shook my head when I thought about the history of Argentina and the statement he made during an interview
global,, argentinas currency is horrible, im sure he is desperate to join brics and hope for a new currency..
Of course Argentina need Afrika as any other country en the world, but it remains to be seen if the brics actually allow such corrupt, racist, poor Neanderthals into the organisation! Hopefully not!
The information in this video is correct however Argentina is a 3rd world nation with underdeveloped infrastructure and unmodernized society it is no jewel. Most of the Europeans who came to Argentina were in fact poor Europeon whites who couldn’t make it in Europe and upon arriving in not just Argentina but Brazil Uruguay Paraguay Colombia and so on discriminated against the Africans. Brazil is the same way , I have always said being born “black” in South America would be the worst place to be born black. Africa will rise
@@strawberrycar711 Brazil is not worst just not respecting black people as it should in some cases.
Hmm yeah go and read black history in USA. You might change your opinion about where is worse to be born black.
As an Argentinian with possible black roots, I am forced to answer, there was never an anti-blackness policy in the country, although it is true that they were the social sector that suffered the most during the early and mid-19th century. The percentages that appear in the video are misinterpreted, many were mulattoes and others were not really local population but were part of the commercial routes of Tucuman, that is, they had a permanent stay in the region to later be taken to Peru or Chile. The local black population disappeared because they lived in the urban centers of the Pampas region, which was also the region that received the largest European immigration. It must be taken into account that the region has never been very populated historically, so the massive arrival of immigrants greatly affected the local demography. Added to this are the continuous civil wars that the country suffered throughout the 19th century, as well as diseases such as yellow fever that contributed to the disappearance of this group. It must always be kept in mind that poor populations are the ones that suffer the most from diseases, economic crises and wars, regardless of their racial characteristics, so the black population in Argentina was no exception. Even so, during the period of the great migratory waves a small wave of Cape Verdean immigrants arrived who settled in the city of Buenos Aires, having its highest peak in the 1920s. important black population at the beginning of the 19th century, from there we can bring out many tango composers, for example, but from the 1930s we began to receive waves of immigrants from neighboring countries and also from mixed-race regions of the country. This second migratory wave ended up definitively ending the Afro-Argentine population through miscegenation. Now, is it true that the black population was used as cannon fodder? The revolutionary government granted freedom to the slaves who would serve in the war as a method to achieve the participation of this population in independence. According to ANDREWS, Reid. [l989] 1989. "Los afroargentinos de Buenos Aires", there was a high mortality rate among the black population during the independence war, however this could be due to the climatic and environmental conditions of the area where the war took place. The one in the northwest lasted longer, suffering ills such as soroche that mainly affected this group that was not well adapted to these endemic diseases. According to the author, there is no correlation between mortality and majority black battalions during battles, and there are cases in which majority white units suffered more losses. It is also known that many blacks and browns managed to reach the ranks of officers, although this situation began to change after the battle of Sipe-Sipe, where a large part of the battalions of these ethnic groups were destroyed, and it would not be until the Government of Rosas. that this would be reversed Another thing, there is nothing wrong with the country prioritizing its European legacy, the vast majority of the ancestors and customs of Argentines come from that continent.
So blacks were ok in Argentina for centuries and the only reason why their mortality rate was high during the independence war is due to environmental and climactic factors?! The level of denial is astounding! So it has nothing to do with blacks being placed in the frontlines during the war?!

This, also apart from the center and northwest most national territories were settled well into the first industrial revolution and trade with the british, by the time cotton and sugar cane became big in argentina, slave labor was already replaced by machines and steam power. Chaco, formosa and most of the patagonia were basically wildlands until 1890.
This video is filled with historical innacuracies….Besides the fact that you conviniently avoid to mention the fact that the vast mayority of the local population in Argentina in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries were local American aboriginals who actually MIXED with the Spanish immigrants and gave birth to the actual ARGENTINIAN ethnicity.

As a world traveller, can confirm antiblackness exists everywhere on this planet. Africa or I would say Subsahran Africa is the only home we got as Malema always says. It's disheartening that our leaders are destroying instead of building the continent. If things don't change, it's going to be terrible for our future generation.
Worry not, the worst is behind us. Africans have suffered five centuries of European aggression and survived. Now finally we are on the rise. While other nations' populations shrink, Africa's is exploding and will, over the next 30 years, reach 2.5 billion (25% of global population). While other nations age, Africa has the youngest and most vibrant people on the globe. African economies are growing the fastest.
Social media has made Africans more aware, engaged and agressive in global politics, and reunited Africa with it's diaspora. Many diasporans are returning and joining the struggle to uplift Africa. The former French colonies in West Africa are finally breaking free of French imperialism. Africa's time to rise and shine is here.
No it's not. Even among Africans, those with darker skin are hated and abused, stop lying.
@@eastafricanist9156 I am optimistic myself for African people's future. By 2100 it is estimated that there will be over 4 billion black people on this planet.

1-First error in the video not specifying that most of the black slaves arrived in Brazil, Colombia and the Caribbean while not so many arrived in the rest of the countries
2-The term Latin America was used by France to use as an excuse to invade Mexico and influence the continent
3- The term Hispanoamerica is only for the countries that speak Spanish while Iberoamerica is for the countries that speak languages of the Iberian Peninsula that are on the American continent.
4 there was no systematic plan to erase the Afro-Argentine population, it's just that unlike the United States, in Argentina, interracial marriages were allowed
5-Afro-Argentines never even reached one million people while in less than 30 years more than 3 million Europeans arrived
6- Are you really going to base your entire video on the words of one person? (One stupid person doesn't make the whole country stupid)
As an argentinian i can tell you, please do not pay attention to the idiocies that our current president says. We as a society have long ago banished far that stupid superiority complex from europe. As for the inmigration in the 1890's and 1900's, we were one of the most open american countries to greet anyone regardless of race, religion or cultural background. That's why we have the third largest jewish community (after israel and the us) in the world, we recieved ethnic minorities from other countries such as palestinians, syrians, and basques (such as i) and our african population is increasing significantly thanks to recent inmigration from ghana, senegal and congo

I'm Argentine but have lived my entire life in the US and can tell you that this was certainly the case at some point in the past. My DNA says I am 68% European and 28% Indigenous. However, lately this sentiment has changed. There are more and more people of all races coming to live in Argentina. And they are not discriminated as they once were, it has become a melting pot as the US is. You can't blame current Argentines for the sins of their ancestors.
This cretino says that 50% of the population was black in 1780, which is blatant horse manure, bosta. He then makes no references the the "pacification" of the desert. Look qhat he says about San Martin's African Argentine troops, they are still celebrated today, you've seen the figurines and so have I where they celebrate our black compatriots. Regardless, this guy makes no reference to the reasons Felix Luna gave for why many left after the liberation.
The real genocide was the "pacification" of the desert, there was nothing like that against Afro-Argentines, they went to Brasil and everyone knows it, they wanted to live in a more back countries, but the assimilation of the natives we both represent. I also get called negro there all the time and as you know, it's because castilian is not as racist as English about things like that, but they always project that same English racial thinking, in fact being captivated like slaves by it to project their own learned racism onto others.
Black philosophers call it the slave mentality.
Yeah but we can blame them if they don’t change the system and continue to uphold it like they do in the US
What a bunch of idiots
Oh yes we can. And will do so until they make solid changes and recognize and teach about their evil history to all Argentinians.
The similarity with the US is white supremacy, evil history, race population in prison and in slums. Same as America.
I am Brazilian. I had an idea of that but didn’t know the whole story. Thanks for the video!
Glad I could help:-) Many thanks for your consistent support
Brazil's portuguese government also tried that, during the "order and progress" directive of whitening immigrantion, but what they couldn't expect is that brazilians were always exploited and excluded historically, be them the elite sons of white coloners being seen as inferiors to europeans, the pardos mixed of white and black, the caboclos of north brazil mixed of native and white, and later the italians, japanese, gypsy, okinawans, lebanese, germans immigrants who were brought to substitute low wage work. Brazil couldn't give a shit to Portuguese elites who always exploited the rest (ones way more than others, but everyone to some extent). The movement of Brazil as a country of all vs the few classes who exploit us will keep the history alive and well told, inclusion public policies that celebrates the cultural diversity of your country are fighting to keep truth alive.
In the early 19 century, the population of the caribbean island of Puerto Rico was around 155.000. The Spanish empire not wanting to lose what little they had left in the Americas, liberalized the economy of Puerto Rico but also opened the immigration gates to any Catholic (did not matter if they came from enemy nations) who wanted to move there. It included free land. Color did not matter but non-Europeans got half the amount of land of European migrants. The greater majority came from Europe. This resulted in PR. population increasing to one million in one century. It also stopped the majority of the original 155.000 from pushing for independence since in time they would be outnumbered by incoming immigrants.
Da independência até a Era Vargas, a promoção de imigração européia era abertamente eugenista e muitas vezes financiada pelo Estado. A pintura que mostra a avó preta orgulhosa do branqueamento do neto é brasileira.
Those Brown people in Brazil who are called black are indigenous Brazilian people, not Africans. Transatlantic slave trade is a hoax.
Less than two minutes and You are wrong. Thats the case of Brazil and the caribean countrys. Thats kinda difficult in the andean countries
As an Argentinean, I feel deeply offended by this video. There are no racial conflicts in our country, and we always remained an open country to everyone. There is absolutely nothing we should hide nor regret about our identity. We are proud in being an open society and moreover who we are. Go and solve your unresolved racial issues somewhere else, and do not blame on us for your own defficiencies.
Majority of your countrymen will boast European ancestry and are widely known as having airs of superiority because of skin color, I’ve met great Argentines so it’s obviously not all of them but they exist no matter if u try to lie to us or more importantly to yourself.
Exactly, Argentina is a country not a netflix movie, we are proud and happy to be European whites like our ancestors.

Octavio Paz wrote: "Mexicans descend from the Aztecs, Peruvians from the Incas and Argentines... from ships."
Instead of quoting the poet, he quoted the singer Lito Nebbia, “We arrived from the boats”.
Said piece says the following: "The Brazilians come from the jungle, the Mexicans come from the Indians, but we Argentines come from the boats."
Many Mexicans came from boats also
That was Said by Alberto Fernández

Between 1492 and 1820, approximately 2.6 million Europeans immigrated to the Americas, of whom just under 50% were British, 40% were Spanish or Portuguese, 6%.

Huh??????
Argentina>>>>>poorsil 🇧🇷🍽️
Yes, I saw "poorsil"
Brazil is more money than Argentina 😂
I think Argentina is poor lol
As an Argentinian, I have to point out the following:
1- Even to his own party, Alberto Fernandez is considered to be one of the most pathetic, make-shift presidents in Argentina's history. He attempted to quote Mexican Writer Octavio Paz, who said, as you pointed out, "Mexicans descended from the aztecs, Peruvians from the Incas, and Argentinians from the ships" (referring to their european background). So, taking his phrase about the argentinians descending from ships and the brazilians from the jungle doesn't represent the country's ideology, but was rather a failed attempt of looking witty. It's our Joe Biden, so to speak.
2- Before becoming a country of its own in 1814, Argentina was a Spanish Colony. The first spanish colonizer, Juan Diaz de Solís, arrived to Buenos Aires in 1516. Later, in 1520, Magallanes did. In 1543, Diego Rojas. During the whole XVI century, the spanish colonizers kept arriving, building forts and cities, and expanding their territory. Therefore, its roots are originally and predominantly Spanish (the most popular surname here is "Pérez", for example), with some local mixture.
Secondly, in the process of colonizing and expanding, they first enslaved the local indigenous people, and later started to import black people (quick reminder that the own african merchants and warlords were the ones that raided other african tribes and sold them as slaves), but in very few amounts in proportion to the locals. So normalizing the black population in Argentina as if it was a predominant or even substantial part of its demographics is false.
Third, as you mention, black people and "mulatos" (mixed race) were sent to fight wars in the front line because, as it has happened in every country in the world throughout history, they were either SERFS or SLAVES. Not because of the color of their skin, but because of their condition as property or low class (which is still abherrant, but not race based). Additionally, it is worth noticing that the "freedom of womb" act (meaning people born from slaves didn't carry that status) was enacted in 1813, only 3 years after the first Argentinian provisional government was instituted, and slavery was finally completely abolished in 1853.
3- You mention that the immigration of spanish and italians was promoted, while the immigration of "non-whites" was banned. In this regards, Argentina's 1853's Constitution, section 25, says: " The Federal Government shall foster the european immigration; and will not restrict, limit, or tax the entry to this country of foreigners that wish to work the land, improve the industry and bring and teach the ciences and arts". As you can see, European immigration was indeed promoted. This was because:
a.- Argentina needed to expand its population fast in order to become a strong nation.
b- Argentina was built on the basis of Spanish Culture.
c. At that time, Europe was going through the Illustration Era, which was a period of intelectual, technological and social progress prosperity. Therefore, it was deemed desirable to populate the country with educated and well-formed people, who shared a culture with the actual christian and spanish background.
So, to think that European immigration was fostered to diminish black populations is such a self-centered, petty and victimizing view. Having a Spanish ascendancy, what did you expect them to bring in to the country to populate it? Chinese? Arabs? Nords? Why would they choose a different culture? It would have made no sense.
Without prejudice of what I just said, there still didn't exist a "ban" to immigrants of other race or procedence.
4- You say that there were no explicit laws against black people, such as the apartheid or the Jim crow laws, but that the country "created a lot of obstacles for the black people that prevented them from accessing lands, the labor market and education". Would you care to elaborate?
5- Around 55% of Argentina's population lives under the line of poverty due to the populist measures that have been implemented by the governments in the last 40 years. Poverty here is not a matter of actions directed against races, but rather the result of corrupt governments and a passive citizenship. There is no structural racism, as you mention.
6- Regarding the "all white" football team, as I have been recounting until now, the majority of the argentinian population is composed by descendants of spanish and italians, as well as mixed races (criollos) between europeans and the local indigenous people. That's why you don't see african people in the team. It's the same reason why they also lack players that look korean, finnish, Iraquie or Australian. So, statistically, just based on the number of black citizens, the chances that a black person makes it to the team are much lower than those of a criollo. But they are still higher than the chances of an albino or an Scottish, Irish, Norwegian and Mongolian. Should we then consider that the Argentinian team is biased in favor of black people over those nationalities? Or should we realize that caring about the race of the players in a team, without taking into account little details like, say, population, and leaving aside what really matters (talent) is just political separatist propaganda?
In summary, your conclusion of this whitening against african people in Argentina is extremely biased. African population was never demographically predominant in our country, and the few that existed (ironically, you didn't remark this as something positive) were slaves. So, before spreading your victimhood mentality internationally, please get your criteria straight. Also, it would be lovely to watch you make a video of what is happening to the Boers in South Africa right now. What the president of that country has chanted, etc. You'll see that in that case you don't need to recur to concepts as abstract as "structural racism". The events are tangible and out in the open.
Cheers.

Either way black people don't own south africa, neither do Europeans. Black people come from africa where nothing but laziness happens.

O que importa?
Hello, Argentinian human rights activist here! Many or most of the data and historical "facts" used in the video are based on popular beliefs that have long been disproved by historians. A quick research on Wikipedia or papers made by the most prestigious universities in the country will be enough. Argentina, like almost every country outside of Africa, had slaves and had an issue with racism (and as every country, it still has), but it's not by any means outstanding. Most of the confusion comes from racial studies that again, have been misinterpreted, mostly by American race ideology. Argentina is not what people in the USA call "white". Almost everyone here has both some kind of criollo (mixed Spanish and Native) or European ancestry, and we just identify as Argentinians. One of the most important factors in understanding how the country lost its black identity is:
- 1880s Eurocentric policies made by the elite: incentivized European immigration, despite this, many non-European cultures arrived (like Arab, Asian, and other Latin American cultures).
- Low slave population: Argentina wasn't an agricultural colony, and as such, didn't need tons of slaves. That, combined with the very low population in general, made a very distinct identity that (even though this video says it doesn't) is still heavily taught and present since kindergarten.
- Era of immigration: The national genetic pool changed when millions of immigrants came to the country, rebalancing the genetic pool towards European genes. It's not that black people died as cannon fodder (again, a popular belief, completely disproven by modern historians), but rather mixed to the point of being a minority in people's genetic pool, given the share amount of immigrants the country received.
Final point: It's not that we are proud to be "white", we really don't give a shit about skin color, but rather we tend to be fond of our ancestry, European, native, African, or whatever one's is. We are a nation of mixed cultures and genetics, we only care for the country we all share, and we know our diversity makes us who we are as a nation. We do have issues with racism, as any other country, but racism is publicly shamed here, and illegal as well. I would dare to say we are a country that has more issues with classism than racism.
We have a popular saying "An Argentinian is born wherever he wants".
I hope that if you read this, and want to know more, there is a ton of very interesting information about it on the internet. But please, help to stop the spread of misinformation!
I’m Black American and I lived in Buenos Aires among mostly white elites in Palermo Soho and Puerto Madero. Argentines are kind and generally do not care about race, but there is a 1% that do. After living there 3 months, it was only a drunk, young, white man who jeered me as a “Cako” (monkey or thug) with after they beat France in the World Cup; a small indigenous boy who gestured like he was shooting me with a gun, and some mestizo servers at an exclusive restaurant who refused to serve me while immediately serving white Argentines who came well after me. So this is the picture of life as a wealthy Black person in Buenos Aires.
Wow 😨😲 they refused to serve you ?. That is point blank racism right there 😔. I was born in The UK I want to go and see and experience Argentina for myself too. Definitely looking to meet the Afro Argentinian communities there.😎🙌🏾✊👍✅
Those fkcing Ecuadoreans TOO. BASED ON EXPERIENCE.
Actually "caco" doesn't mean monkey. It's actually thug but has nothing to do with race. Different would be if he said "macaco" which is not the case I believe.
That's wtf you get

I'd really like to see some more sources for this my man. It has a very high " trust me bro" energy. I'm always open to learn and challenge my existing viewpoints. I did know about the large black regiments fighting on the side of almodovar (which really weren't only argentinian) which as in most cases with black regiments, were sent to do the heaviest and bloodiest fighting. But having been there and learned something about the history of Argentina, and also reading the quotes you included, to me it always felt like they were just indifferent to blackness. Being inspired by Europe doesn't mean that you hate blacks. And in what you presented, I didn't really see the planned erasure of blackness. Just a minority slowly intermingling and mixing with the majority population, because there wasn't a reason that they couldn't (Blacks in the U.S. for example were persecuted heavily, and therefore didn't mix as much with whites, similar to how Jewish populations mixed much less with majorities because of discrimination and ostracisation, causing them to maintain a culture much longer).

Outstanding educational video! Many people do not understand the dimensions of the Latin culture and that Being Latin is NOT a race. In Los Angeles, many Mexicans do not know that Mexican is not a race of people, but a cultural dimension.
Mexican is not a race. Race refers to classification of people based on a shared skin color, hair type, and facial features.
Mexican refers to an ethnicity or nationality specially tied to people w ties to Mexico.
Mexico is a diverse country w various racial backgrounds consisting of Indigenous, European, African and Asian ancestry.
2 questions, whare are the races? and what are the mexicans?

Just a quick Google search and you will see how many things in this video are completely wrong. Black were a minority because the geography here never allowed to have many plantations for slaves. In 1813 the freedom of wombs was stabilized and later on slavery was prohibited entirely, we never had segregation, most people here have both Europeans and amerindian descent because as I said it was well seen to marry whoever you wanted. The war thing is more complicated the central government had actually no power at the time to force the provinces to send men for the army for the war so the only provinces that did comply were the ones in the Middle of the conflict (closer to Paraguay Brazil and Uruguay) and those were the only provinces where there used to be plantation so were most of the black population was located, but it wasn't juts them that were forced to go to war, every male there was conscripted. We have so many African immigration and its fine nobody cares AT ALL. I'm pretty sure everybody here is more worried about emigration.
People here were racist yes, but just as racist as everywhere else in the word at the time, this video lacks any kind of foundation.
Totally anectdotal story here. My first encounter with an Argentinian was in the Domincan Republic at a resort. She was a beautiful woman, and I was in my mode of talking to women at the resort. Now... I'm a good-looking guy ... and no... women don't OWE me their time or attention. Rejection is a fair part of the business of talking to women. But this encounter was different. When I spoke with her the response she gave, facial expressions, mannerisms struck me as purely racist. I sensed immediately she was put off by me Blackness. I've lived my whole life as a Black man and I can SENSE racism. Anyways, that's what got me interested in clicking this video and I'm glad now to learn the history behind their whitewashed population and mindset.
How do you know she was Argentinian? I thought most Dominicans were mixed bu don't call themselves black. How come you do? is it because you are particularly dark? excuse my ignorance. Honest questions.
Maybe you should have worked as a News Journalist with a camera crew and microphone. Then perhaps you would have received a different response from her? Argentines have the same mindset as Spaniards from Spain. Spaniards do not even look at Mexicans in Mexico as their equal..

As we are a social-democratic country that promotes social gathering and community and has been wrought by immigrants, our culture is the most friendly and open worldwide: Any person from any country can come to Argentina and receive medical care for free. Making friends here is super easy, we love to talk, and we are super social. Argentina is currently the only country open to migration from African countries, without any conditions. Here everyone has access to free education and free healthcare. Come to visit, you´ll love it here. Football is a religion here and is almost impossible to have a black player in the national team if there is almost no black population. If you ask any Argentinean, they would say that they really wish to have black players in our football team. And as we are receiving migration from Africa, that possibility is growing. We love black footballers. just read what @ContrarianExpatriate said in this comment
@@suenoshumedospro5240another person in complete denial. Nobody has to come to your country to know that it has a racist past.
Your country is currently not dealing with racial issues since your ancestors decided to deal with the problem by killing off the blacks in the whitening project. Change the system and make sure it doesn't happen again and inform upcoming generations of what truly happened
Stay there.
Very good quality info. Great job 💪🏾
good quality? a lot of the data is wrong
I’m black and I belong in Africa. I moved from nyc to Africa and have felt healthier and happier ever since.
They aren't Africans any more. They have a choice and they identify with their Spanish , Portuguese roots. Nothing wrong with that. They should be proud of their European roots. What's your problem?? Europeans have a great history. Nothing wrong with them wanting to keep a European profile.
They can identify with Europe all they want; did they have to wipe out African Argentinians in the process?!
If Argentina has a tiny population of blacks today, then it makes sense that they are basically non-existent in most fields of society, but what is racist is that they are overrepresented in marginalized areas.
Very well said! Cheers!
The more blacks a society has, the more misery they encounter.
They are from Brazil, just like blacks in Dominican Republic, are Haitians.
@@bodyloverz30 Since nationality, birthright and language isn'e enough to be called Dominincan, but most Dominicans are mixed with black, what is the minimum amount of European blood to be considered one? or is it your personal decision if someone is Dominican or not? I take it Black Puerto Ricans aren't real Puerto Ricans by your measure?
@@foreverseethe The Dominican Supreme Court, has deported many Haitians, who were born in the country, including those who's families were here 100 years ago; though illegally? Not Dominican myself, so I leave it to the Dominican's to decide who is truly Dominican!
Maybe this is a lesson on how to blacken a country also. The happiest black people are those that see only their kind in their communities.
"Brazilians come from the jungle, Mexicans come from India, Argentines come from ships from Europe." 😆 This is a politician saying this...
And a pretty bad one at that, our President is an ignorant fuck who actively harms pur reputation and is an embarassment four our nation. I can tell you, not even his supporters, now former supporters, agreed with him when he said that. Don't take his words as what we Argentinians think, it's simply not like that
Good video, although i didn't understand the relation of soccer in the current days and structural design, especially considering that most Argentine footballers comes from poor and disadvantage background.
that was just misinformation. For soccer in latin america we dont care about skin color or anything just the way you play, you can be green and still play. Just remember Uruguay was the first nation to take black people to the world cup and was higly critized for that, but we still moped the floor with everyone, Long live "el negro jefe"
@@jitoxand yet, all of them are whites.😊
Because the team is full of whites. Poor yeah but white.
This video describes Argentina and its people as racists and anti-black. it lies about a system to erase blacks while ignoring actual history, migratory weves, laws and culture. Since wolrd cup 2022 there has been a rise in this type of videos "why no blacks in Argentina team" the truth is that there are no whites eiter and no asian either, Argentinians are all mixed. This video only spreads missinformation and hate.
Having traveled throughout Argentina, I got stares and shock wherever I went. It was like many residents had never seen a real black person before.
we never saw it. the first time I see a black person were in my 35s.
Also, have you been discriminated?
@@marianomedina07 Not at all. Most of the Argentines I encountered were very friendly. Some even asked to take selfies with me. One thought I was Kobe Bryant.
If a white, mestizo, pardo, etc goes to Africa or China they will too have stares and schoks wherever they go. Hope that people don't think this is racist.
We dont. And better never come back. Thank you.
@@gabrielayala1182cual es tu problema ?
Thank you for sharing this information with us!! Good job 👏
So nice of you
Argentina is one of the first countries in the world to apply the law of freedom of wombs in 1813, Argentina is a livestock country, it did not have large plantations like the others, little slave labor was used. Since there was so little segregation, the people mixed with the 5 million Europeans who arrived, the blacks were only 8,000. In the Paraguayan war the two black regiments were not enlisted, it was not necessary. everything is false
Damn, I had no idea the historical erasure goes so deep
It was so shocking to me too!
Yes it was that deep. I found out 15 years ago travelling around the world with my best friend from London UK in 2008. I learnt so much about world history during those travel adventures.
It also went on in Haiti when they erased whites and mulattoes and its going on now in south africa but you will not hear about it.
In other nations the same thing goes. Example, the Caucaus region. Erasing historical cultural claims to a region in order to say it was always part of there nation and so on.
because it never happened
argentinian here, my country abolish slavery in 1813, before we were even a formal country. so the slave trade never got to the same level as usa and the porsentage of population of black pepole never was great. the we have a masive influx of europeans mostly italy and spain. this contry never segregated blacks like te usa. and we alwas permited marriages between any etnicity. most of the black population was mixed and assimilated. this country is open to all man who want to inhabit argentinian soil. it's in the constitution.
same story all the way around the world - depressing af but thanx for the info & insight.
Este video miente.
Guyana and Suriname are not Latin American countries lol
We are geographically Latin American as we are located in South America, but our culture is very much West Indian.
@@peripheralhandshaker Geographically South America, not Latin America. There is not even a unanimous consensus across countries on what encompasses the definition of _Latin America_ . It's not the most helpful terminology nor demonym.
@marllon9786 Ah, yes, very true, south, not Latin. We mix the words very easily. But we more link closely to the caribbean culture, just like French Guiana and Suriname.
the “great whitening” happened all over south america and the islands up until the mid 20th century. look up Trujillo in Dominican republic for example
Argentina obviously did the best job of whitewashing than anyone else.
But the joke’s on Argentina. They claim racial superiority while their currency is tanked and many Argentinians are emigrating to Mexico and Spain while being discriminated against by both Mexicans and Spanish.
no its not, canelo tried to do that with messi, once argentine boxers called him out canelo apologized like a little btch
Lmao😂
?????
We don't care, we won the WC and that invalidates every other argument.
Good job
Tan re locos ustedes. No sé quién hace estos videos, pero evidentemente les gusta hacer daño.
Watching form The great Ethiopian nation 🇪🇹🇪🇷🇸🇴🇩🇯🇸🇸🇿🇼…. Africa We have a lot of work ❗️😡
If you Africans want to live in a good continent then stop voting for shitty politicians who sell your country.
Greetings from Argentina
It was Condoleezza Rice, national security advisor, who helped her boss out of the embarassing situation. During a conversation between the two presidents, George W. Bush, 55, (USA) and Fernando Henrique Cardoso, 71, (Brazil), Bush bewildered his colleague with the question "Do you have blacks, too?"Rice, 47, noticing how astonished the Brazilian was, saved the day by telling Bush "Mr. President, Brazil probably has more blacks than the USA. Some say it's the Country with the most blacks outside Africa." Later, the Brazilian president Cardoso said: regarding Latin America, Bush was still in his "learning phase".
Wow. Very enlightening! African American living in NYC.
It is not, just a quick Google search and you will see how many things in this video are completely wrong. Black were a minority because the geography here never allowed to have many plantations for slaves. In 1813 the freedom of wombs was stabilized and later on slavery was prohibited entirely, we never had segregation, most people here have both Europeans and amerindian descent because as I said it was well seen to marry whoever you wanted. The war thing is more complicated the central government had actually no power at the time to force the provinces to send men for the army for the war so the only provinces that did comply were the ones in the Middle of the conflict (closer to Paraguay Brazil and Uruguay) and those were the only provinces where there used to be plantation so were most of the black population was located, but it wasn't juts them that were forced to go to war, every male there was conscripted. We have so many African immigration and its fine nobody cares AT ALL. I'm pretty sure everybody here is more worried about emigration.
People here were racist yes, but just as racist as everywhere else in the word at the time, this video lacks any kind of foundation.
@@MariaJulia-od8jvDouble WOW! Thanks! I do try not to believe everything I see and hear, but, yes, individual in-depth research is best.
Are you Afro--Argentinian? Not that you would have to be to explain this history correctly.
