I guess what I don't get about the memetic understanding of Argentina as particularly racist is that, like, have you never met a Chilean? Or a Dominican? Latin America is host to so many examples of esoteric and kind of funny racism that I just don't understand why that kind of narrative only took off in relation to Argentina.

Fair, but then again you get more tourists from Argentina than from any other country by quite a lot. It makes sense why that narrative would prevail in Brazil, but I don't know why it would beyond that.

I actually had to google "tourism to Brazil by country" for this and it IS quite stark, like, Argentines make up over a third of all tourists to Brazil, being three times more numerous than the US in second place.
