    Ok, I'll bite and engage with this video when I shouldn't. I'm an argentine, born and raised, brown skin. My mother is black, been living here since her 20s. There is racism in Argentina like in any other country in the world. Now, it's INCOMPARABLE to what happens in race obsessed USA. My friends, girlfriends and their families have treated me and my mother no different from "white" people. My employers too. It just not something people care that much about. They'll sooner treat you differently for being a foreigner (you would be treated like a gringo by the way you speak and act) than for the color of your skin. If you speak and act like them, you are a "porteño" like me, or a "cordobés" or wherever you're from. Keep race obssesion in your declining country, please. ❤

    I was born in Honduras, my father was Maya native of yucatan Mex. My mother was a native mix with misquito/African. I grew up in an afrocaribbean neighborhood, we spoke English as our first language, and our schools were English until the government closed the schools and went to Spanish, but later my mother sent us to a private bilingual schools.
    We had racism in my case both ways, we hid the fact of our Mayan and African heritage to avoid racism. Now is a lot better, the country tries to celebrate and be proud of the different ethnic groups. I married a Chinese second generation Canadian, my younger daughter had a DNA test done and came out with 22% African, go figure! I was taught to be proud of my heritage and instilled it in my daughters!

      DNA test can not trace ancestry. Why?? Because these nationalities only existed the past 700 years or so. Secondly you can not trace ancestry without the DNA of your dead ancestors. What they doing is matching your DNA with living ancestors and that's just saying the % of people in that particular location who has genobes like you. That only means that somebody at some point in time possibly migrated through there that doesn't mean let you have DNA from someone who was actually there in your paternal or maternal lineage. It's 0.0002% accurate

Hace 1 semana estaba en la cola de una tienda de ropa en Miami con mi mujer, y la persona que estaba atras nuestro (era negro) nos pregunta "what lenguage do you speak" le decimos español, a continuacion de donde eramos?, "from Argentina", 3era interaccion..."porque hay racismo en Argentina contra los negros" y me empieza a mostrar este video en su celular.....Resumiendo, de la nada, estuve media hora explicandole que mi pais no era particularmente racista, que teniamos inmigrantes de todo tipo, tamaño y color, que algunos naturalmente pueden sentir curiosidad ante un negro caminando por las calles de Buenos Aires, asi como la tendrian los lugareños si yo fuese caminando por una calle de Mozambique....creo que al menos le genere alguna duda, pero estaba bastante convencido de que los argentinos odiamos a los negros (un boludez total). Ahora, si yo me acercara a vos en el supermercado, y te dijera porque odias a los blancos, cual seria tu reaccion??.....Este tipo de videos solo van a causar el efecto contrario que supuestamente persiguen.

    She is so right about the derogatory cat-calling . I'm Jamaican born and have traveled all over, 52 countries currently. I visited Buenos Aires in 2016 and I had that same experience of being treated as a sex worker. At first I couldn't figure out why random men were making kissy faces and yelling "mami,mami" at me, it wasn't the usual flirtatious appreciation of a woman's beauty. By the third day there I was over it, I took the double decker city tour bus and sat on the top deck, I was so embarrassed and annoyed when the bus pulled up to an area with some construction guys on a roof, they were heckling at me saying things like "mami Brazil?", laughing and carrying on like school boys.
    Most women in official places were rude to me for no apparent reason as well.
    The entire trip wasn't bad, ate lots of good food, brought home good wine and learned some history. But much like Slovakia or Hungary (went to a bath house and as soon as I got in the water all 8 or 9 people there immediately got out, they looked at me like I was mad or I pissed nuclear waste in the water 😆) I'm not in a rush to return.
    I went to Chile for a few days after Argentina on that same trip and it was night and day, people were much more polite and friendly.

      Because they are very few (today like 1% of the population) and most of them are very admixtured, therefore locally they are not considered black (not even by themselves usually, also because there is not much knowledge about their ancestry), and foreigners maybe will see them just like average "brown" Latin Americans or mixed people.
      In this video they are saying bigger numbers (in percentage) because they are counting people that have some significant level of black ancestry but it's predominantly white or amerindian, and even in that case I think that they are exaggerating saying 5%.
      I don't know to what places you come here, but probably you noticed that there is a very important minority of "brown" people, and if you pay more attention on them, you will see that only a few look black at some point (the rest are admixtured whites, naturally tanned whites - like people of Middle Eastern descent - and amerindians with or without admixture...). So, obviously is not true that they are like 5% of the population, in that case they would be much more visible.
      Dark or phenotypically more regular blacks are a minority into the 1% that I mentioned (although due to recent immigration are much more visible today than some decades ago - especially in important urban agglomerations - and probably in most cases are foreigners).

We're not responsible fo4 slavery 300 years ago or what happens in the US. The world has 6 billion people, the US is a small part. Don't push your problems and close mindedness based around skin colour to the rest of the world. The true racists are those who bang on about people's colour.

      With that Said i think in this case (racism against african descendants) personal experiences would be better given by someone black.
      its not like in argentina racism towards blacks doesn't exist, but argentina being an specially racist country i do think Is mostly a myth, specially when the United states is one of the most racist countries in the world along with southafrica and Israel.

    Ace, yet another informative professionally done video interview. Well done.
    The content was provocatively disturbing at times, but reality is like that. Argentina insists on a culture of racist marginalization still needing oppressive validation of their existence. How sad that enlightenment eludes them. However, I’m confident despite generational indoctrination, common sense will ultimately prevail. For a country to have reduced an indigenous population by over 80% is beyond barbaric. It’s well worth the time to appeal on an international scale the crimes against humanity in Argentina. The lack of empathy emanating from many of the responses only strengthens the argument of oppression in that country and begs further investigation. Governments must be held accountable for their intolerance to marginalized citizens.

      In the schools they represent what was a reality in colonial Argentina, there were slaves and they were generally street vendors, they are acts with total respect, in no way is it about offending but rather portraying the reality of the time, and I never saw that portray them in a mocking tone. As for racism, there is no doubt that there was and is, but it is not exclusively against an ethnic group, but rather with social strata, and based on statistics, we are one of the least racist countries in the world. Another clarification with what the lawyer says, here in Argentina saying black is not only negative, most of the time it is affectionate and is used with close people. He also lies and exaggerates that housewives are black, education from kindergarten to university is free and whether from any social class they have the opportunity to graduate from a university career, he also lies that people of color have salaries minors only because of their skin color, totally false, it is not true that they are fired because of their skin color, otherwise they would not be hired in the first place, the rights are equal for everyone, no one fires without having any consequence, there are laws that protect to EVERYONE, regardless of ethnicity. Being a lawyer, she does not know what the constitution says, "Foreigners enjoy all the civil rights of citizens in the territory of the Nation; they can exercise their industry, commerce and profession, they are not obliged to admit citizenship, nor to pay extraordinary forced contributions "Tell me where it says Europe...? She is middle class, she is a professional and says that she has fewer rights, fewer opportunities because of her skin color? It can be seen at the end, when he says that Alberto Fernandez is a good president and that they have more rights... Just by remembering what he said in a conference “The Mexicans came from the Indians, the Brazilians from the jungle, but the Argentines from the boats”, it is very obvious that he has no objectivity...

    In Argentina there was slavery just like all the countries of America, but here there was a very little population in general. The Afro population that existed, decreased significantly due to the wars of independence, also due to the yellow fever epidemic and finally due to miscegenation, because there was a huge wave of European migration from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, that quadrupled the small population that previously existed. But there is another reason that isn't frequently mentioned and it is that Argentina was one of the first countries to abolish slavery; For this reason, many slave owners sold them in neighboring countries, with the aim of not losing their economic investment. I think this fact is deliberately hidden because if they are trying to install the idea that Argentina is a racist country... How could it be possible that Argentina is one of the first countries to abolish slavery???

And because it is easier to make others responsible, instead of standing in their greatness, most of them revel in the role. Argentina is the most accepting country to immigrants in history. Argentines are ALL mixed race by now, racism as a concept is ridiculous and 99% of Argentines would agree with this statement unless they are absolute hypocrites. When they deride what they call “cabezas” they do not refer by this to any color of skin in particular but to ANY person who acts in an uncivilized,disrespectful and selfish manner. The woke nonsense won’t go far in Argentina. Stop trying to introduce it.

    Regrettably, Argentina, like the majority of the countries of America, has received immigration from the lower classes of Europe before and after the First World War. Mainly from nationalist peoples such as Italy, Spain, Portugal, the Jewish people, Ireland, states that later formed the German empire, etc. Each people that arrived in Argentina brought with them a lot of racist ideologies corresponding to the spread of nationalism throughout Europe at that time. Obviously the predominant people are Spanish, due to the conquest and colonization of the Rio de la Plata started in 1516 under the authorization of King Carlos I of Spain. After the colonization, around 1580, the migration of African slaves took place and continued until the 1810s. These waves of immigration due to European wars and slave trade ended up forming an Argentine people full of divisions, where racism continues to this day towards a lot of minorities. Also existing racism among the minorities themselves "inherited" from their European ancestors and their conflicts of yesteryear. In this mix of races, I think, the African people was the most damaged. The indoctrination was total and they lose all kind of knowledge about their origins and traditions.

I know that it a just cause, i know they deserve to be more recognize. Which i dont understand is that current and popular media content about racism in Argentina, while i can name you at least 15 countries with more problems and were extremely more cruel than those argentinians back in the past. I see an obsession with the racism and Nazi issue whenever Argentina is mentioned. The only difference between us and other countries that have a black population is that we werent a big slave market, so the ones that remains mixed with the inmigrants. Luckly, times are changing and, step by step, black argentinian people are begginning to get some recognition, like Maria Remedios del Valle. She was a sargeant, black and woman, elevated to that degree from one of our national icons, Manuel Belgrano. And also the new currents of black african inmigrants are well received, for example i can metion an angolan comedy performer, ari balanga. Peace to you too.

The social racism actually felt a bit more relaxed to me as there's more of an open shared denial of the issue. However, there's no denial of the power vacuum. Black people are limited to lower level jobs. Every once in a great while, you might find a Black in middle management, but you'll never see one above that.

    Argentina es uno de los paises mas inclusivos de America, no entiendo este tipo de critica. Actualmente estoy viajando por Europa y aqui sì se ve el racismo, cosa que en Argentina (no lo digo por ser argentina) no sucede, o al menos en gran porcentaje jamas he visto. Argentina es clasista, no racista, categorizan por clases sociales y en conjunto a ello viene el prejuicio (lo cual es horrible) , pero no por color de piel o etnia.

      Eso es interesante porque pude encontrar a este tipo gracias a muchas publicaciones que escribió sobre su situación en Argentina. Un grupo del que forma parte también ha estado en la televisión nacional argentina. Quizás no estés prestando atención a tu propio país. Eres bienvenido a escribir el tema en español en la búsqueda y ver qué aparece. Te garantizo que lo verás a él o al grupo hablando sobre este tema.

    Argentina from the mid-1850s to 1970 received 14 million European immigrants, most of them Italian, Spanish, Hungarian, Ukrainian, German, Polish, and Asian colonies. From 1600 to 1800, the Spanish and French brought Afro slaves. They did their own thing with the native Indians, almost exterminating all the tribes, that is why 85% of its inhabitants are white, 14% Amerindian or mestizo, and only 1% Afro.

    Excellent! I think this is a beautiful example of how to travel. Talk to the people. Eat with the people. Make an effort to learn the language. Get off the beaten path. This is better education and personal development than anything happening in a classroom.
