What happened to blacks, including former slaves and their descendants, in Argentina?

Argentina is among the least diverse countries in the world.

Argentina, rank (s) among the least culturally diverse countries in the world. Argentina has taken in very few migrants.

Can the caravans head to Argentina, instead of the US?

Good for them.

“Millions of these helpless Africans washed ashore in Brazil...”

No, they didn’t ‘wash’ ashore. They were imported as slaves. There was a bigger slave population in Brazil than in the US. Why do journalists have to screw up basic facts like that? It makes you mistrust the rest of the article.

Forced intermarriage isn’t the same as genocide unless one is a segregationist to a totalitarian degree.

Which, of course, American socialists are.

I have read that Paraguay has the highest percentage of Europeans in S. America.

Yeah, by a factor of 25. Not 25%, 25 times as many (10 million vs 0.4 million for the US).

Pope Francis gave money to migrants, to help them travel to the USA.

I think the Pope should help the caravaners travel to Argentina.

Many of the “migrants” already speak Argentina’s language...Spanish.

You folks ever notice that the one drop of blood notion is still alive and well? Only instead of being a weapon to keep people out it is a tool to keep them on the left wing plantations where every group is to keep to their ideologically assigned place and evidence the beliefs and attitudes that are appropriate to progressives of their skin color.

Gone is the dream to judge people by the content of their character, the Left judges by race and pretty much only by race. Everyone else is a Deplorable or an Uncle Tom.

And they cost more. One of the reasons many Southerners who moved to Brazil in the 1860s returned to the US.

Slavery in Brazil didn’t end until 1888.

Just wait until the author figures out what happened to the millions of black slaves brought to the muslim world as there are virtually no decedents of them.

They also killed off most of their indian peoples. With the advent of the mass migration to Europe, Argentina is likely the whitest country in the world.

Pope Francis’s native Argentina is one of the least diverse countries in the world.

Why is the US being accused of being racist, selfish, insular?

> Spanish is nearly universally spoken in Argentina,
> 97% of Argentina is “white” (identifies as white)
> more than nine-in-ten Argentines are at least
nominally Roman Catholic, according
to the CIA’s World Factbook.”

Pew research said…(in 2013)

“Argentina, the Comoros, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Rwanda and Uruguay rank as the world’s least diverse countries. “

No.

Lowest maybe.

Perhaps you are thinking of Uruguay?

Fascinating article. Thanks for posting this. It’s got a bit of personal connection for me as my paternal German grandfather visited Argentina sometime in the early or mid 1920s looking to flee Weimar Germany. He eventually moved his young family in 1927 to New York. I never heard why he changed his mind about Argentina. He visited Argentina in the third of five big Germán emigration’s to Argentina, 1918–1933. This third German immigration wave is attributed to increased immigration restrictions in the United States and Brazil as well as the deteriorating conditions in post-World War I Europe.

I worked for a short time in Argentina in 1976 and wondered why it was so white. Chile seemed to be nearly as white, too.

I am sure that what I read said Paraguay was the most European. Of course everything you read is not accurate.

The first two paragraphs deal with Brazilian slavery. “Washed ashore” is just a euphemism for slaves landing on Brazilian shores in slave ships. The author’s meaning is clear to me.

His use of language is good and it’s more colorful and interesting than “Brazil imported millions of slaves” (which is what I would have written in my pedantic and pedestrian style).

Maybe I’ll move there. I was thinking Iceland or Switzerland...
