For those who man not know, in Mexico and just about elsewhere in Latin America, indio/a" is more or less the equivalent of the n-word. I know that Argentines living in other Latin American countries have a reputation (whether deserved or not) for elitism,* but I wasn't aware of overtly racist behavior like this and wonder how common it is. To be fair to #ladyargentina, I lived in that same neighborhood in Mexico City, and her attitude toward darker-skinned people is no different from that of many wealthier Mexicans.
* A Colombian friend of mine working as a Spanish tutor in the US had a student who was told by an Argentine person not to learn Spanish from a Colombian. This turned into a discussion on how it's happened before, etc., etc.
