Argentine National Identity and Ethnicity

Albert, is nationality different from Ethnicity? I was born and raised in Mexico, I am Mexican, or Mexicana. My sons Johnathan born in Illinois, and my other son Marcus was born in California, they are American by nationality and ethnicity?

​@@sylvialupehernandez9154 It depends on the history of the country. In the Americas, nationality is hardly equivalent to ethnicity. In old-world countries I would say it's the same.

[@sisigpapi]

I love that they all identify as Argentinians despite their different backgrounds. Americans should remember how to be like this

[@CorvusLeukos]

Why? I was born in Argentina but all my family is Italian, German and Spanish. Why should I feel Argentinian? The history of my family and my blood is far more important than those mere seconds in which I was born... The place where you're born doesn't change anything of your person, your genetics do...

[@sisigpapi]

​@@CorvusLeukos Because if you were born there that's your nationality, and it's what makes you initially bound to Argentinian identity. Same principle as in America. I mean, you can choose to identify as Italian, German, and/or Spanish, but I'm pretty sure citizens of those places will see you firstly as Argentinian before one of their own. In the end though, this sounds like an identity issue for you to figure out; you're more than welcome to try and immigrate to one of those countries and become citizens of theirs if you feel moreso connected with them than Argentina

[@CorvusLeukos]

@@sisigpapi well I'm pretty sure I'm genetically more Italian, German and Spanish than most Italians, Germans and Spaniards, so it would be quite hypocritical if they didn't consider me one of them. I have the Italian citizenship but I'd love to live in Germany so I might go live there soon. I can't claim the German citizenship because of the old laws and the current tradition to respect them, even if they're stupid (sexist) but yeah... I'd love to naturalise myself German. Hopefully you're not one of those who would reject someone just because s/he was born in another place, even if s/he is of that country descent. I guess you're not, based on the last part of your comment, but maybe you were sarcastic... So I don't know.

[@sisigpapi]

​@@CorvusLeukos Their attitudes toward you is something hopefully you can find out for yourself one day. I don't think anyone has a problem with repatriation, I myself am actually a big supporter of it, but moreso for people from third world countries going back to their home countries after working in more developed countries so as to uplift their homes. Obviously that wouldn't apply to you since neither Spain, Italy, or Germany is a third world country, but all the same I hope one day you find yourself in the place you feel most at home at

Yes Argentina has a heavy European influence, but the majority of all Latino individuals are usually at least half European genetically. It’s rare that you find a Latino who doesn’t have any European dna. But at the same time does it really matter? I’m proud of my nationality not of my race, I could care less about “race”. I think it’s awesome that I have native ancestry but I don’t know that culture, I know Argentinian culture though and I love it. To me race is a dumb concept man created.

Dear, It is not Italian culture with a little bit of mix with Spain, it is if anything Spanish culture with a few italian influences here and there.

[@Askelmar]

goodaim shieldI think you do not know what you're talking about. Maybe you come from a Spanish family ... but as I wrote in another post, you never asked yourself why the number of Italian surnames surpasses the Spanish surnames? ... because the food is more similar to Italian food than to the Spanish? ... because the language is full of Italian words or words that were taken from the Italian language? ... the lunfardo? .... please try to be objective and logical. It is not very difficult to see the Italian influence.

[@goodaimshield1115]

The Italian influence is obvious, but the Spanish influence is much larger than the Italian one. The number of surnames is a poor argument. Most of Argentinians are decendants of Spanish, even though there is a very large and significan Italian presence. You know the name of the mother usually falls into oblivion after a few generations, right? People from the Philippines have all Spanish surnames, yet very few have any Spanish ancestry in them at all. There are words that comes from Italian, but as far as I know the language spoken in Argentina is not Italian, but Spanish. Are you bringing up language as an argument in your favour and yet you dare to ask me to be logical and objective? Please, don't make me laugh. Grow up. Argentinian food is in no way more similar to Italian food than it is to Spanish. This is not an opinion nor me being "subjective, this is a FACT. The strongest and obvious influence in Argentina IS Spanish. That doesn't mean Italian influence is insignificant nor small, it is actually very significant and a huge influence in Argentina. But to say that Argentinian culture is Italian culture with "a little bit of Spanish" is delusional to say the least, and comes from a place called hispanophobia and a huge inferiority complex. Plus it shows how ignorant you are in regard to both Italian and Spanish culture. You are the one being all but objective and logical, stop being an Italian wannabe and accept what you are. Argentinian. Period.

[@Askelmar]

The people of the Philippines !!! ... you really know how to mix things !!!! .... surnames Language food gestures slang food accent What else is needed to say that there is more influence of one or the other? All over here is influenced by Italians .... are you blind or arguing just for being right? just in case I tell tou *I am not Italians descendant* but I can see their influence around me ... do not you see it? ... never mind ... it's your problem anyway

[@goodaimshield1115]

Of course, I'm the one mixing things up XD. Surnames: Spanish and Italian Language: Spanish (are you seriously trying to convince me that you speak some sort of Italian dialect or what?) Food: Spanish and some Italian here and there (Do you even know Italian or Spanish food at all??) Gestures: Argentinian. Never seen an Argentinian making Italian gestures, nor Spanish, tbf. Slang: Whatever, in France they use English, doubt they are mostly of English decent or that England is a huge influence in French culture and society. Anyway, both Spanish and Italian. Accent: Actually kind of. Though most Italians I've met speak Spanish like... Spaniards. They sound nothing like Argntinians. And all Italians would deny to sound anything close to an Argentinian, they can tell the difference very easily. What about actual facts and not a 5 years old kind of arguments?. Actually, it is pretty clear that Argentina influence is mostly SPanish, history, culture, society... Spanish all the way. With great Italian influence, but mostly Spanish. You are the one who is blind, you only see what you want to see, and frankly, you also seem to be pretty ignorant and immature. What about you grow up? Good riddance. PS: The fact that most Argentinians are decdendants of SPaniards has been proven over and over by genetics and genealogy studies, though close to 60% of Argentinians have indeed Italian ancestors, over 80% of them have Spanish backgound, which means that though most argentinians are Italian descendants, most of them, and many more of them, are actually Spanish descendants as well. The Italian surnames beeing more common is mere coincidence, and has to do a lot witht he fact that Italians are the "newcomers", while Spaniards were there earlier and were part mostly of the "old population", and in the past couple of centuries there was a great migration from Italy, that's why the number of Italian surnames is higher. And by the way, I don't give a damn what your ancestry is.

[@barbaraobach]

@@torrezno1990 Incorrect, per 23&me - Most Argentines have Spanish ascestry predominantly, alot not all have some Italian dna,, with a little Indian American dna and a tiny amount of WestAfrican dna 3-10% on average . Italian ancestry is not unique to Argentina ,most Hispanics have some Italian ancestry,though Argentines often have a slightly larger percentage of Italian anscestry . Argentines are genetically Spanish, Spaniard is a ridiculous term conjured up by racist,the people of Spain, are Spanish . If you look at at a group of Argentines. I grew up in Philly with the sole Argentine family on the block in the 1970's , they were generally a Caucasian, some sort of Latin people and the Latin was 'Spainish,and not white Northern Spain,,aka Iberia, but Southern Antonia Banderas Spain, those people looked Spanish, because ethnically they were Spanish, my friends did not look like the Italian Americans I knew in Philly, they looked different than that, Italians have a more out there distinctive Mediterranean look , especially Southern Italians. Argentines especially the older GenXrs, boomers and silents have a Latin Southern Mediterranean look to but more middle of Spain, Southern Penelope Cruz look. Reminder The Italian race is in no way shape or form superior to the Spanish race , if anything the reverse may be slightly truer,per scientist in Europe the Spanish live a bit longer , no , on average ? And if yous are talking a beauty contest, from my childhood eyes in 1970's Philadelphia,or a 'Latin versus Latin beauty contest' , my Argentine friends who were clearly not Nothern Italian, and looked Spanish, were just as cute or pretty , if not prettier than my Italian American friends, but that goes for all Hispanics, the Puerto Ricans, just about the only Hispanics around back then , the fewer Cubans, generally those people were absolutely gorg, in general, just a good looking people,but that goes for every ethnic group., black Americans, Anglo, Irish white Americans , every ethnic group was slighter, skinnier in the 1970's , but cute , in general. People were genetically less mixed ancestry wise, and you could tell the differences between each group back then, they all had a more distinctive look, Like most Hispanics , Argentines could pass as Italian easy, but you can see that they're noty, 'Italian, "IItalian " , I can see the difference betweeen Penelope Cruz, Antonio Banderas from Spain and the Italian American actors Al Pacino, Sal Mineo, Monica Belluci, Southern Italians have more West Asian admixtures and some like the Sicilians have a little West African admixture, the Southern Spanish are genetically the same as the Sothern Italians with more Moorish admixtures. But again as ethnic and I'm excluding Iberia, Northern Spain, Portugal and France, and referring again to older GenXrs, boomers and Silents , in all the Americas, amongs the Hispapanics Argentines tend to have a more disticnt look as theyre have much smaller percentages of African, Native American or Northern European , like say the Cubans and Puerto Ricans who whiter than the Argentines, yet on average have more WAfrican anscestry, the Argentines 'Caucasian' but the Cubans and Puerto Ricans are 'whiter' cause they have a higher percentage of Northern European dna than Argentines( got it racist out there ). So again among the Hispanics, Argentines are the most Spanish people in Latin America, percentage wise again per 23&me. And it's okay to be ethnic Spanish Argentina, it's okay, in a way it's neat, to look at an Argentine , with those dark eyes and black hair alot of them have, is to look at what a Southern Spanish person looked like during Columbus's time before they integrated with other ethnic populations. So it's established that Argentines are predominantly a Southern Spain type people, but let me throw the silly ones obsessed with the idea of Italian ancestry a bone, the younger Argentines, the Millenials, Z's are ethnically more diverse, with ancestors from all over the world.

So if this makes sense to you, on average ,the average Argentine has a higher percentage of European dna anywhere from 85-90%, than Puerto Ricans,(70%) Cubans(75-80%) and Mexicans (-+45-55%) , yet % wise, Puerto Ricans, Cubans and I'm going to say it Mexicans are whiter than Argentines. First scientist say there's no such thing as the white , brown,black , yellow or red race, there's just ancestry and ethnic groups, so for example freckled , Bangladesh ancestry so accordingly again, Puerto Ricans , Cubans and Mexicans are whiter than Argentines, because on average they have a higher percent of NEuro/British type dna,what I would call 'the blond race' than Argentines do and that doesn't make one nation's people better than the other. But do remember because of Spain and England we have American countries, so I think those 2 countries are the greatest in Europe, with the United States being the greatest country in the world.

How about those German "immigrants" in the mid 1900s?

[@la-xw6ov]

there were a lot of german inmigrants in 1880 too so, your point?

[@barbaraobach]

How bout those Nazi ones from the 1940's ? Pretty much Germanic type people are the minority in Argentina most Argentines are largely of Latin descent, Spanish maybe Italian ,like that

[@anybrzla3149]

Donde son mayoría?? Y no lo digo de una forma despectiva, simplemente pregunto porque, como Argentina te digo que esas personas son como la mayoría que se ven en la calle, los grupos indígenas son minoría y tal vez se ven más en el norte del país pero en el centro y sur no hay tanta presencia de indígenas, tal vez deberías salir a la calle, si es que sos de Argentina, y ver como es el argentino promedio

[@urielmartin7970]

El 90% de los mestizos tienen sangre o ascendencia española. Mestizo = Indígena + Español

Supongo que las entrevistas habrán sido en Capital, ahí ciertamente no son mayoría los descendientes de nativos, y siendo honesto dudo que la mayoría (me refiero a aquellos con fuertes raíces y presencia de tradición y cultura) de ellos sepa hablar inglés, por un tema de que no sería usual. Caso contrario, tendría que ser en español y más provincial, quizás más al norte del país o en la miseria del Congurbano jajaja (es un chiste, soy de ahí y doy fe que es un desastre)

Hi, i'm from Argentina and it's because the largest immigration was from Europe, today people with dark skin are from other Latin American countries and mixed people with another ancestry

we had before 1900, but not that many like USA, since in early 1800 they were free... also imagine a chocolate bar mixed in a very very big jar of milk...is going to be difficult to find the bits... is there, but not much visible..

Never was a genocide in Argentina, because we assimilate culture and we don't segregate anyone, that's why we don't have that many Afro-Argentines.
