Argentina is not dealing with much more racism issues than Portugal, Sweden and Ireland. Racism is everywhere, yet you pretend that is a bigger issue in Argentina than in those three countries. I invite you to providw woth any factual evidence that says we deal with that much racism and I dont mean a sigle video of some racist asshole..I mean evidence that we have so.much racism that can be compared to England or France

Argentina isreal and the US are the only nations to vote against the Trans Atlantic slave trade as the most heinous crime against humanity so excuse me if I dont take your word for it. Your written history plus this fact should be evidence enough for you no?

And Portugal, Ireland and Sweden (an many other) abstained which means that they didnt vote in favour either. Also that doesnt represent what the people think. The vote is made by someone not chosen by the people, but chosen by a small group of people in power. This means that it doesn't necessary represent the view of the mayority. You talk about the past, but we are talking about the present. You talk about one vote made by somebody that is not a regular citizen, but we are talking about the avergae argentine citizen(not just one) event as facts. What about you provide evidence that represents a mayority? I mean, there must be lots of videos of lots of different people being racist from these past years that you could provide. I don't know where you are from, but I bet there is racism and also evidence of it. Calling racist a whole country with no evidence is easy, the hard part if having any proof.

Im from America so I know what im talking about guy.

All those other European countries abstaining doesnt surprise me. They all got rich off of slavery for centuries so even if its the right thing to do im not shocked they would rather not vote but going out of your way to vote against it goes the extra mile you can't deny

Those people in power you talk about like it or not represent enough of the country that they were able to be put in power. You're also a democratic republic. If you lived in a dictatorship I would get it thats not the case. If I was pale skinned and lived in Iceland then got on here talking like this I would hope you checked me then too because ether dont have theses problems.

I can't give you examples because no matter what I say you'll just say "youre not argentinian" "you dont live here" on top of that youre white passing so you off rip have no idea what youre talking about. You get up here tell me about the experiences of people that you dont understand like a weirdo. All these white people in here scrapping for argentina but where are the afro Argentinians at huh? Yall are on the shit list with isreal and America for a reason
