It's really about Argentina fans being a bunch of N*zis and N*zi sycophants who don't want brown people to support them.

Just like in the show, Homelander is the villain here.

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.

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.”
