He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Im an indigenous Latino, wanna talk about xenophobia? Argentinans are masters at it. They look down at EVERYONE

And how is it xenophobic to point out they elect morons and far right trash? Thats just fact. Thats like saying im xenophobic cause I hate trump

Ps. I know a bunch of Argentinans and they insist they are of European bloor, Spaniards and Italians. They are offended if you lump them in with other Latinos. They think Latinos are garabage, they no joke say they’re white

"Indigenous latino" is so damn broad that I have literally no idea what you're referring to, exactly.

wanna talk about xenophobia? Argentinans are masters at it

Seems like you either encountered some shitty people (believe me, you can find those in any country) or you're just a rather unpleasant person that mistook being treated as such, for xenophobia. From where I'm standing, both seem entirely plausible.

And how is it xenophobic to point out they elect morons and far right trash? Thats just fact.

Firstly, who from the previous governments in the past decades was democraticatically elected and was "far right"? Second, show me a country that hasn't elected at least a few shitty presidents in the past few decades. I'll wait.

Thats like saying im xenophobic cause I hate trump

You might want to revisit the definition of the word.

Ps. I know a bunch of Argentinans and they insist they are of European bloor, Spaniards and Italians.

Well, my great-grandparents where german and spanish and tons of friends' grandparents are first generation european immigrants. There's a reason why so many people in Argentina have european passports. I couldn't care less about that. Why does that bother you though?

They are offended if you lump them in with other Latinos. They think Latinos are garabage, they no joke say they’re white

Who cares if they're offended? Like I said, shitty people are everywhere. And why does it bother you that some argentinians are white? I've been spoken to as if I were a local in Italy, spain, germany, austria and france. If they're "white" then I guess so am I? That doesn't mean I identify as european. I am and will always be produdly argentinian.

You sound like you have some issues dude. See a therapist, it might help.
