Why is all the people on the Argentina team 100% white?

Argentina's former president Carlos mMenhem said in a diplomatic trip to the USA, Argentina does not have blacks, that is Brazil's problem.

wow, that is pretty bad coming from a leader of a country, calling black's a problem, a stupid comment, no wonder blacks don't want to live there, oh well that is Argentina's loss.

Argentina became the refuge for Nazis trying to escape after the fall of Germany. Italians also followed. Argentina has a very heavy Italian and German population due to this. Nazis = Argentinians.

I've been here since 2000 and I don't see any irony either.

Unless the joke is that Letsrunners persistently misuse the term "irony", which really isn't specific to this messageboard (it happens across all walks of life).

So, in echoing the other poster, where's the irony?

I guess you don't know who either Rojo is?

I guess they didn't have slavery and are too poor to attract freeloaders.

So that's why they're basically bankrupt. Again. Hmm, wait a minute...

the black population of argentina is 0.37%

That's about like the percentage on Letsrun.com.

They're whiter than me, damn straight.

They're realizing that the American model works and recently amnestied 750,000 illegals.

Of course I do. I know who both are.

Or is it that you incorrectly think irony means 'interesting coincidence'?

The north-south range of Argentina in the southern hemisphere is comparable to that of the USA so you wouldn't expect a natural black population there. You would more likely expect a Native or Hispanic population instead given the geographical location. European immigration is also a noticeable factor as to why Argentina appears to be predominantly a nation of White, Hispanics and Native humans.

Where I am getting the idea of having a 'natural black population' is based on latitude. the closer to the equator a nation is, the more likely the core group of citizens are to be of a darker skin tone.

Ironically, no. Perhaps you failed to see the ironic connection between the two Rojos.

One's super white, one's the least white on his team. That was made pretty obvious, no one's missing that.

But you still haven't unearthed any irony here. Maybe keep digging?

The irony in the situation is much deeper. Keep digging.

Look up some more definitions just in case.

Eden v2. It was the backup plan in case Noah's flood got way out of hand.

I once read that after Rome, the city in the world with the most Italians is Buenos Aires. That may be an exaggeration, but I know several of them, and none of them have any "indigenous" blood.

Italians are not white. Someone should saw that country off from the European continent and send it to Africa.

Hi! If you are asking where they are today there are still several indigenous groups all over the country ( territorial distribution http://bucket.glanacion.com/lntools/anexos/fotos/70/970.gif ) though a lot of them have been evicted violently. There are hundreds of indigenous communities claiming for their right to own the lands they occupy.
