A CNN correspondent faced ridicule after complaining that he didn’t see any black people in Argentina, with some joking that there aren’t many Argentineans in Cameroon either.
“I have spent a week in Argentina and I didn’t see a single black person,” said Larry Madowo, who is a host of African Voices on CNN International.
“Not walking on the streets of Buenos Aires, not in a restaurant, nowhere!” he added.
“The people are super nice, but where are the black people? Ya’ll come visit,” said Madowo.

Unlike many other white countries, Argentina hasn’t been subsumed by mass migration, meaning its demographics remain largely homogenous, with a black population of just 0.7 per cent.
One respondent informed Madowo that there isn’t a huge amount of black people in Argentina, “Because they are a country, not a Disney movie.”

“Same way u would walk in the street of many African nations and you won’t see a white person , why do black people always feel this victim mentality? “why must we be always like this?” commented another.

“I haven’t seen any white guys in Angola, Nigeria, Ghana…. So? What? Maybe you are in the wrong place my dear,” remarked another.

Madowo reacted by predictably calling his detractors “racist”.
A bunch of racists have found this post and are reacting to it without watching, or understanding, the video

During the 2022 World Cup, the Washington Post faced similar scorn for publishing an article asking, “Why doesn’t Argentina have more black players in the World Cup?”

Il Washington Post si chiede perché nella nazionale argentina non ci siano giocatori di colore..
Non si è fatta attendere la risposta dell'albiceleste via social:
"Perché noi siamo un Paese, non un film di Disney." pic.twitter.com/JLMi0k3NCg
The writer of the piece, Erika Denise Edwards, an associate professor at the University of Texas at El Paso, invited people to read about, “A history of Black erasure in Argentina!!”
The newspaper subsequently issued a correction noting that an “editing error” had occurred when Edwards had claimed there were more black people in Argentina than was actually the case.

A lack of blacks in Argentina? How very appealing. Maybe I’ll retire their.
The Democrat’s mind warp of identity over character over all else since the American civil rights era of the 60s hasn’t lost it grip.
Negroes degrade any culture, society or country the feral, foul, sub-human beasts infest.
“Because they are a country, not a Disney movie.” Great accurate comment. Too bad the politicians in Ottawa are living in a Disney movie.
“Most modern-day Argentines are descendants of these 19th and 20th century immigrants, with about 97% of the population being of full or partial European ancestry, while an estimated 56% have some indigenous or mestizo ancestry, and 4-5% have some African or mulatto ancestry” so what is this clown going on about?
Obviously, this African interloper expects Argentina to be opening its borders to an African invasion.
Racial narcissism.
Imagine having your entire identity revolve around your race and sexuality. That is so pathetic.
It’s called identity. Imagine a world where everything is the same. You never have a way to compare notes to improve or disprove. Sweden and Africa never enforced lock down mandates and they faired better than nations that did. The crime rate in mostly black neighborhoods is much higher than mostly white. Communist nations have failed to remain communist 80 times in the last 100 years. SCIANCE !!! The Good. The Bad and the Ugly.
Yeah, well, you won’t find any NOGGERS in my home, either!
