    Arrogant ...

    posted by  Michael Joshua in Argentina forum 

    I think that most other Latin Americans do get the impression that Argentinians are arrogant because, well, they are ...

    Most of them think that they are better because they are more 'European' than the other countries in South America, and many Argentinians have a xenophobic streak, especially towards Paraguayans, Peruvians and Bolivians. Basically, they consider themselves to be the most beautiful, most cultured people of South America.

    I get the impression that they also have some resentment towards Brazilians and Chileans because of how those countries have become more prosperous in recent years, while Argentina has suffered economically.

    Doesn't anyone have a different opinion?
