    The Guardian: "Time to challenge Argentina’s white European self-image, black history experts say"

    I've found people from jungle cultures to be quite clean in their eating habits. Also, not prone to gluttony. Does this describe her eating habits? As for her appearance, I hope you are aware that people living in jungle environments have a certain kind of look. For example, they are usually of...

    The Guardian: "Time to challenge Argentina’s white European self-image, black history experts say"

    The article is not serious; if it were, they would look at the percentage admixture among those with some African ancestry and from that they could get overall admixture. But that would undermine their polemic and only a few nerds of anthropology, history, and genetics like myself would read it...

    The Guardian: "Time to challenge Argentina’s white European self-image, black history experts say"

    Hmmm, thoughtful post from you. Eliminating this tendency among people would be interesting. I think we can all agree on the following ten commandments. 1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature. 2. Guide reproduction wisely—improving fitness and diversity. 3...

    The Guardian: "Time to challenge Argentina’s white European self-image, black history experts say"

    A lot of interesting stuff there even though the samples were not randomized. - The genetic evidence lines up extremely well with the historical record which gives hope that history is not in fact an agreed upon set of lies. - Argentina and Brazil both have Amerindian and African ancestry but...

    The Guardian: "Time to challenge Argentina’s white European self-image, black history experts say"

    Nothing wrong with being proud of your heritage. In fact, it's healthy. Woe to the deracinated! Personally, I'm always happy when I see people in touch with their past, their traditions etc. For example, too many people wear the same damn modern clothes. I like Arabic flowing robes. But let's...

    Argentina vs Brasilia, Uruguay

    Seems off given a lot of Peruvians, Bolivians, Paraguayan low-skilled make all that effort to migrate to Argentina for work and benefits such as medical ones. Maybe the article's adjustment for cost of living is off.

    The Guardian: "Time to challenge Argentina’s white European self-image, black history experts say"

    Perhaps we should use the term "offshoot" rather than "outpost." I'd say that all the European offshoots diverged and came up with comparable cultural innovations. For example, the Australians have vegemite, the Quebuecois have their hatred of the Anglo-Canadians, and the Americans their hatred...

    The Guardian: "Time to challenge Argentina’s white European self-image, black history experts say"

    Argentina had a very defined Spanish and later Spanish/Italian identity. Both are European cultures. Yes, there was more racial mixing than between the British and the Aboriginals in Australia. But their respective civilisations can still be viewed as predominately European derived in ancestry...

    The Guardian: "Time to challenge Argentina’s white European self-image, black history experts say"

    Yes, the Spanish were less averse to mixing with the local population than other European peoples such as the English and the French. What is the percent admixture in that 15-20% that have African ancestry and is that Northern (e.g. Berbers) or sub-Saharan? The Boers, for example, have slight...

    Argentina and Uruguay - alike, yet different

    Hello antipodean, I did not mean to suggest you linked the two. I was trying to make 2 points in response to much of the thread and your post was the most interesting one so I replied to it. 1) There is general sentiment in this thread that there is something terribly wrong with Latin America...

    Woke culture is winning status for its acolytes so how can you say its gone too far? It has momentum and should continue pushing for more.

    The Guardian: "Time to challenge Argentina’s white European self-image, black history experts say"

    Despite a couple unique cultural elements, such as tango, wouldn't you agree that Argentina is merely a peripheral outpost of European civilization, like Australia, and therefore its collapse is part of the general collapse of European civilization?

    Argentina and Uruguay - alike, yet different

    Of course, why go through all that trouble to take power if you don't gain a material benefit over your peers? Democracy is virtually always fake, certainly the current systems claiming to be so are. They are in fact oligarchies. This commenter Ries says some interesting things and means well...

    A Sad Day For All Cristina Supporters...de Vido Detained

    Was nodding my head til noticed this was coming from an Irishman. :D Anyhow, a society governed by civic values was an aberration and only made possible by an unlikely confluence of environmental variables. If current conditions remain relatively stable, it's highly probable that it will go...

    Cat Cafe In Buenos Aires

    Will it have cat class and cat style? Do you have liability insurance for toxoplasmosis? I'd also get a lawyer to cover discriminatory lawsuits by dog owners.

    Monger - Sex Tourism In Argentina Documentary Premiere

    As a someone who used to have a stake in a brothel and knows the industry pretty well, I can tell you that the UN reports are completely false. Mostly as a result of unemployed NGO workers inflating numbers and flat out lying. The percentage of women forced is virtually nil. The purity / vice...

    Besazo -- The Gay Community's Way Of Protest

    It's time to stop conflating lesbians and gays. One is probably a conditioned caused by a parasitic microbe while the other is likely adaptive behavior. Break the alliance. Don't generalize!
