Argentina Officially Non-White

*** I did not watch the video. I don't have 25 minutes to devote to that ***
Argentina & Uruguay in the 1990s looked just like western Europe in the 1980s. Chile also. But Chile had a more visible indigenous population of mountain people.
From wikipedia.
Ethnic groupings in Argentina according to the UAEM
White (85%)
Mestizo (11.1%)
Amerindians (1.0%)
Asian (2.9%)
So once again, the wapo is full of crap.
And why run this article? What is there to gain in running a false article about a country that is 85% white? Who cares? It must be tiring to always looking at every story for it's racial component.
But go peddle your bullshit that a nation that is 85% white isn't a white nation. There are plenty of other nations where black & brown people dominate the census. Write true stories about those places, instead of telling fairy tales about how you wish things were. No wonder nobody trusts what they publish. Next thing you know, they will be telling us the southern border is secure.

As I recall, Wapo is facing severe layoffs in the coming weeks.
They have lost 1/2 million subscribers over the past year.

I noticed of course that "Hispanic" is not included, as it included for say, the United States but rarely if ever for any Latin American country.
Most of Argentina can trace lineage to Spain, which is European and generally - considered "white".
I do know that for a very long time and possibly still, Argentina is disliked by its neighbors, because of this large European descent, they tend to be snobs about it and look down upon their "lesser" neighbors - I recall several South American friends during the Falklands War who were positively gleeful they were getting their asses kicked - a collective "serves you right, you snobby *******s" sentiment.
you should find the time,. loads of fun takinmg the piss over the lunacy of this black woman's analysis
Because Argentina Won the World Cup, we cannot have Whitey winning the World Cup .... beating all of those Diverse / Woke Teams
Remember Zimmerman was a ' White ' Hispanic
Why doesn’t Argentina have more Black players in the World Cup?
Argentina is far more diverse than many people realize — but the myth that it is a White nation has persisted
As fans keep up with Argentina’s success in this year’s World Cup, a familiar question arises: Why doesn’t Argentina’s team have more Black players? In stark contrast to other South American countries such as Brazil, Argentina’s soccer team pales in comparison in terms of its Black representation.
The observation is not a new one. In 2014, observers hurled jokes about how even Germany’s soccer team had at least one Black player, while it appeared that Argentina had none during that year’s World Cup Final. In 2010, Argentina’s government released a census that noted 149,493 people, far less than one percent of the country, was Black. For many, that data seemed to confirm that Argentina was indeed a White nation.
But roughly 200,000 African captives disembarked on the shores of the Río de la Plata during Argentina’s colonial period, and, by the end of the 18th century, one-third of the population was Black. Indeed, not only is the idea of Argentina as a White nation inaccurate, it clearly speaks to a longer history of Black erasure at the heart of the country’s self-definition.

But more recent studies have instead revealed that some Black women in Argentina made concerted decisions to pass as White or Amerindian to obtain the benefits afforded by whiteness for their children and themselves. Taking advantage of various legal policies, some Black women, such as Bernabela Antonia Villamonte, could be born into captivity and die not only free but labeled as a White woman.

As for the nation’s Black and Amerindian populations who were in Argentina before this mass European immigration, many began to strategically identify as White if they could “pass” or to settle into more ambiguous racial and ethnic categories.
These categories included criollo (pre-immigrant background often affiliated with Spanish or Amerindian ancestry), morocho (tan-colored), pardo (brown-colored) and trigueño (wheat-colored). While these labels ultimately cast them as “Others,” they also helped dissociate them from blackness at a time when that was a state imperative.
Despite a history and its remnants that have sought to erase Blackness from the nation, Argentina’s Black population remains, and more people of African descent have been migrating there.

If I may ...
For your consideration ...
Some people and groups, like those Amish folks, just cannot stand having White homogeneity in any country, except for their own. All Whites, wherever they may be, must be villainized at all costs. It doesn't have to make any sorta sense. Anything White is bad bad bad.
Was this reporter trying to say, look a black nation won the World Cup .?
The people I saw when I was in Argentina didn't look hispanic in any sense of the way I understand it. They weren't Nordic, pasty white people. More like central Italy white looking.
A few hispanic 'looking' players but certainly no black players in this photo.
A couple of them look like they had a Grandfather that emigrated in WWII.
...or, just after?
Das is goot, no?
Hispanics are considered brown by Democrats, unless Democrats need them to be white - if they use lethal force to protect themselves from a black person, for example.
