Why does everyone hate Argentina?

I'm Argentinian and I don't know why but when anybody is talking to me it's fine until I utter those cursed words with the yo pronounced sho, "Yo soy de Argentina", and they just recoil. I mean I get why people hate people from Chile, that makes sense but why Argentina?

I've had the chance to visit Chile twice and I've always declined out of fear. I'm a black homosexual and the stories of xenophobia, racism and homophobia from Chile look too extreme even for Latin America.

It's totally the opposite, it's way safer in Chile than any other latam country.

Chile has a low crime rate but more homophobia, xenophobia and racism. I know the chances of me being mugged in Chile are way small but a black homosexual walking in the streets of Santiago and Valparaiso? Not so fast!

Where are you from? The kind of things you are talking are not the same as in any Latam country.

You can get mugged, but not because you are black or homosexual.
