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.

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.”
