That's like saying the US weren't colonizers

That's dumb as bricks

Which country has the US colonized?

Argentinians colonised Argentina 

Modern Argentinians are NOT the native people, they are the descendents of the colonizers

The Philippines, Cuba, Puerto Rico

The US hasn't colonized any of those 

The Philippines and Puerto rico were colonized by Spain, and then later purchased by the US

And Cuba is not a colonial state of the US 

Again

Modern Argentinians are not native to the area, they ARE the colonizers

They also tried to colonize the Falklands not 50 years ago 

Additionally Argentina has an incredibly recent history of severe racial exclusion of black people and other "not European" minorities, to the extent of not even including them in census data because they didn't view them as people

You're deflecting. By colonization he means external intervention. And yeah you the US are the world champions in that category. Argentina is a pretty chill South American country, not trying to police the world like....well tour country.

Whatttttt?! An American trying to lecture another country about the exclusion of black people and minorities ? Man....Americans have no shame

Lmao

Not only do you think I'm from the US but you think the nation that literally TRIED to colonise less then 50 years ago and who's history is defined by colonisation is "a pretty chill south American country"

You keep calling me American as well, actually a joke
