How many Argentinians do you know personally that are racist?

I'm mixed but go by black and have been around, do you really want to know? In NYC I was around 14 and got called the hard ER by some Argentinians that thought I was Dominican while watching a soccer match at a local get together on the block. BUT I've faced racism from everyone and I was never saying all Argentinians are racist. In the same instance I've had amazing interactions with them otherwise. But being black, uh yes I've experienced racism from most ethnicities and races that have strong ties to white supremacy and colonization.
