Chuckle..., chuckle...
The criticism by local journalists is valid as there are now very few black people in Argentina. But of more interest is that the vast majority of the estimated 35,000 - 40,000 Argentine fans who were able to travel to Qatar are whiter than white, reflecting the ethnic composition of the elite. Even more interesting was the 'Ecuadorians' on and off the pitch. While almost the whole team on the pitch were black (m]not mestizos nor morochos), almost all thr fan watching the team were white, not mestizos. Time Latin America stops being in denial about the cross-over between ethnicity and social class. And I haven't even mentioned Brazil!

Worry about fulfilling your own ludicrous agenda, hire some “trans people” in your teams, and leave the world alone with your fu%&% crazy ass koo koo crap

According to the census of 1887 and the opinions of contemporary observers, the urban Black population declined numerically to https://www.theroot.com/true-or-false-there-are-no-black-people-in-argentina-1790876367population 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.”

“By the late 1700s nearly 50 percent of the population in the interior of the country was black, and between 30 and 40 percent of the population of Buenos Aires was black or mulatto,” reported The Root.
