Think is happy...
Problem is Think nobody believes a word of what your countrymen say . All previous experience over many many years leads most people to conclude that though Los Argentinos have many likeable characteristics honesty and reliability are not among them.

That gives me some acumen to tell you that most of those lists are useless bullshit..., as is your above argument against Argentina..., I Think...
Capisce...?
Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. Like the guy say, it’s nothing personal. Argentina are the world champions of military dictatorships. Not the undefeated world champions though; they tried to go up too many weight divisions in 82. Bullying the dirty kids with no shoes in the streets around you is one thing, but attacking the residence of a global giant is another.

People in glass-houses shouldn't throw stones.
”At the end of the colonial period, Blacks constituted approximately a third of the urban population. According to the census of 1887 and the opinions of contemporary observers, the urban Black population declined numerically to roughly half its colonial size and fell to an inconsequential 2 percent of total population by the end of the century. How did the Black population of Buenos Aires disappear?
It is widely reported that president of Argentina from 1868 to 1874, Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, undertook a ‘covert genocide’ that wiped out the Afro-Argentinean population to the point that by 1875, there were so little Black people left in Argentina that the government didn’t even bother registering African-descendants in the national census.
