[AHORA] Una estadounidense vino de visita a la Argentina y denunció que vio "solo dos personas negras": "Descubrí que erradicaron a parte de su población y el 97% son blancos, es muy triste haber gastado tanta plata acá". pic.twitter.com/3lypg6La6d

Hi! Argentinian historian here! Let me answer your question!

To understand the "lack" of african-descent in Argentina, you first need to understand colonial history and only then argentinian history.

Colonial empires had two types of slavery: work slaves for the plantations of tobacco/cotton/sugar/coffee and household slaves. Work slaves made the vast majority of slaves in the Américas, hence the ammount of slaves in the southern states of the U.S., the northern part of South América and Brazil. Slaves were the main muscle behind the huge economies of the colonial empires. If you check ethnic maps of the Américas (i'm pretty sure in the U.S. they would be called "race maps", but we don't do that in South América), you'll find a correlation of the places colonial plantations were and the main groups of african descent. Once we understand this, the rest is pretty simple to get.

In colonial times, the spanish Southern Cone was an unimportant region of the Spanish Empire. This region was the southern frontrier of Spain's dominion, and the resources destined to the develop of this area were minimum. Economically speaking, this region depended from the centers of power in the Viceroyalty of Perú, and was inserted within the colonial economic structure as a subsidiary region for the silver production in Potosí. The main product of the Pampas was dry meat and pack animals. There were no plantations in this regions, hence there was no need for "work slaves". In fact, and as a historical curiosity, Buenos Aires and Montevideo lived mainly of contraband. In 1776, the Spanish Empire, after the new royal house of Borbón rose to power, went through a huge reform and this region became the Viceroyalty of the Río de La Plata (except Chile, that was a captaincy). The capital city of this new viceroyalty was set Buenos Aires, by all means the largest of the cities of the Southern Cone. By the time of the Revolución de Mayo (1810), Buenos Aires had 40k inhabitants, 1/3 of them being household slaves (there's a common missconception in the Internet that Argentina as a whole had 1/3 of african population, but, no, this number reffers to Buenos Aires). Since Buenos Aires was the biggest city, you can imagine how loosely populated this region was.

The newly formed Patriotic Government passed a Law in 1813 that stablished that every son of slaves would be free. Although Argentina was a Spanish colony, and Spain had a Caste System, here there was no segregation. Finally, by 1853, with the sanction of the Argentinian Constitution, slavery was formally abolished, although by this time there were almost no slaves still alive. People intermarried and mixed. This made the small population of african-descent to slowly integrate within the argentinian gene pool. By the end of the XIX century, massive waves of european migration began to arrive to this land, and once again people intermarried and mixed. We're talking about several millions of people, mainly from southern Europe, that arrived to a country with 3 million inhabitants. However, although you cannot "see" black argentines, there is a layer of african culture within the argentinian culture. There are "african festivals" in the province of Corrientes, and you can see african influence in certain types of traditional music.

TLDR: Argentina was a poor part of the Spanish Empire and it didn't have plantations. Since it didn't have plantations, there was no "need" for "work slaves", hence the small ammount of african descent you see nowadays.

TLDR, they got bleached.

So, genocide. Thx. https://tiktok.com/t/ZT8BK4jmN/

But that kind of genocide is a myth!

Bonus: Burger (Pocha) goes to Argentina and sees white people.

Side note: Feelin cute and might delete later.

Background: Reddit gave jannies tools to stop evil bad faith posterers from keeping their bad faith posts visible to the poor innocent readers of the Redditsphere. If you downvote a thread enough, you can get a post removed. Joe Truax the /r/GuyCry grifter scammer, has it set to remove a thread if it gets enough downvotes. Joe Truax has gotten several accounts banned, so he is ban evading on any new account. Lil ol' me always stalks his profiles and gets him banned, and he recently had another meth fueled meltdown on his /u/PromoterOfGOOD account. He had a sneaky janny account /u/Dry-Ad-9597 that was also ban evading and got banned. Teeeheeee Getting jannies banned makes me so happy.

From what I can tell, you can get a post removed if it reaches 50% downvoted. On a big sub, you couldn't get a thread to 50% just with a few alts. but on a small sub you can get a thread to 50% easy.

This thread is an example. It was up for only an hour before it got downvoted to 50% and auto-removed. I frickin love AI!

ETA: Frick he got it re-approved. Still though, Reddit crowd control AI is frickin amazing shit to harass Redditors with.
