The worst part of all this campaign against Argentina is that you can't have an actual honest conversation about the racism that DOES exist in Argentina and that plenty of us know about

Because the people who "care" about racism in the rest of the world already decided that we are just straight evil and we don't deserve to be heard

Yes, Argentina has a complicated history with racism, but I'm not going to accept blatant hatred repeated from actual propaganda from people from colonizer countries that can't even admit to it

I know what this is supposed to be implying, but those words paired with a picture of two people who look exactly alike is hilarious.

"The air nomads were accepting of differences. That's why they lived in gender segregated temples and were monks who shaved their heads and dressed alike and practiced asceticism."

Alternatively, they practiced situational homosexuality, which is often the case in gender segregated institutions. Which is not the same thing as being accepting.

I do have a really hard time believing that an order of spirituay detached monks would be accepting of any romantic relationships at all, but it would be kind of funny if they were generally accepting of homosexual relationships, but strictly forbid heterosexual ones outside of necessary procreation.

But maybe I'm just immature.

See no, because I have a bunch of questions about how air nomad straight relationships work

Because they can't live together because their temples are divided by sex so is every straight relationship a long distance relationship? Unless they move out of the temple I guess but I'm sure that's frowned upon

If they only have relationships for procreation, are there rules about how it's supposed to go? Do they assign you someone to have a kid with?

Can each couple only have one baby? What happens if there's twins? Are they not told that they're twins Parent Trap-style? How do you prevent against incest?

Is Aang going against his culture by having a family with Katara? The guy that wouldn't go against his culture to save the world?

#and I'm guessing having relationships with other nations is Super Discouraged but I'm sure that's true of every nation #at least before the war ended #so Aang was really willing to break every rule for Katara huh #I don't care for the shipping but that's sweet actually

The thing about Argentina is that people have this idea of how the country is (usually promoted by some first-world country) and so they already made up their minds about us. We're the villains and we are never not going to be if they refuse to interact and listen to what we say or how we are.

"Argentina is racist" there are racists, yes, like everywhere. They are loud, like everywhere else. Right now there is a US backed right-wing government that Is fucking us over, like in half the world.

"Argentina is white" we had a huge wave of european migration, yes, as well as jewish, arab, chinese, african and from the rest of latam. We also have multiple indigenous peoples and cultures that first lived here. The afroargentinians had a huge impact on the independence and foundation of our nation and culture. The myth that argentina is white is promoted by right-wing groups.

"Argentina is full of nazis" the nazis came to Latin America (not just Argentina) through the back door in secret and had to change their names, unlike the US which gave them jobs at NASA.

By the way, this is not unique? A lot of countries had similar experiences in their histories. But somehow Argentina gets all the bad rep.

Do me a favour and either get educated about the country you're criticizing or shut the fuck up
