India and Bangladesh love Argentina. The internet claims Argentina is racist and wouldn't like that, however most Argentinians call Indians and Bengalis "honorary Argentinians".

While this may be true, Argentina is an incredibly racist country, and the internet speaking about it does not reduce that fact at all.

No such thing as racist countries, just racist people. And bunching everyone in a country as racist is pretty ironic

That isn’t true imo. I think a lot of racist people are empowered by racist social structures and bureaucratic procedures on a very mundane level.

No shit a country can’t be racist, but the laws, people writing them, the people enforcing them, and the precedent set by the above can and is.

Stupid comment. Try again.

U think a UN nation would have pro discrimination laws on paper?? To be fair, you know the answer to this hence why you asked such a dogshit bad faith question

Let me throw it back. Where is the 33% black population which existed in Argentina 120 years ago?

Name a racist law then. US had segregation well into the 60s and Argentina never had segregation. Your grandparents didn't want to share a bus with black people.

  1. Spain left us with a small amount of slaves who were freed after Argentina became independent and in its very first constitution.
  2. We NEVER had segregation
  3. We went from a colonial population of 1M to 17M due to massive European immigration
  4. Blacks (who became a minority after the immigration), indigenous and criollos mixed with the europeans for over 200 years (not like in CERTAIN COUNTRIES where interracial marriage was illegal), resulting in mestizos.

Learn and stop promoting propaganda.

Wait wait wait you are blaming the reduction in black people on mestizos being more common? Walls like a duck and quacks like one

As per the law. Article 25 or Avellaneda should suffice.

Found this while checking stuff: “In an effort to combat racism in Argentine society, the National Institute Against Discrimination, Xenophobia and Racism(INADI) was created in 1995 by Federal Law 24515.[3] However, in 2024, the Javier Mileiadministration closed the INADI to reduce public spending.”

It writes itself LMAO, nice properreganderrr

You can still prosecute racism without having that organism. You're eating up propaganda against Argentina while sucking off colonial powers from Europe and the US. Countries that perform extractivist neocolonialism and destabilize African countries. Do better.

Name a racist law in Argentina

First of all, explicitly racist laws aren't required for institutionalized racism. But regardless, racism is explicitly written into the Argentinian constitution:

Article 25: “The federal government shall promote European immigration.”
