Some sources have described Argentina as the "whitest" South American country. There were many African blacks brought to Argentina during the Slave Trade. After slavery was abolished in 1813, Argentina was led by a rather racist leader while the country was involved in a bloody battles with Uruguay. Blacks were forced on the battles' front lines and, along with other racist policies, blacks rapidly disappeared from Argentina. Some South American scholars have referred to this as racial genocide.
Today, black women are often called whores or "puta" in Argentina. My goddaughter on a college semester in Buenos Aries experienced this and she wrote her thesis about it. (She received a Fullbright.) This is not her blog but this is her experience.
