Why Don't Argentina Have Any Black Players?

- Whilst neighbouring Uruguay and Brazil have had plenty of black footballers, including their greatest players of all time in the forms of Pele and Jose Andrade, the same cannot be said for Argentina.
Despite sharing a similar colonial past to their near neighbours, Argentina's black population is a fraction of the nation's around them, and following a question from a subscriber during the 2018 World Cup, HITC Sevens takes a look at why that is the case.
I noticed it like once in the past , didnt think anything of it considering Ive never seen a black Argentine & through history I learned most Argentines are just spanish speaking italians
@@dazzaMusic Inaki Williams of Athletic Bilbao. But only one cap in 4 years..
There was a war in Argentina in the 18th century that killed off a majority of the black population, the war of the triple alliance or something like that.
@@dazzaMusic Ansu Fati of FC Barcelona
@@samir.4718 He isn't Spanish per se. He is from Guinea-Bissau and was naturalized by Spain
dazzaburger don’t worry. Fati will be Spain’s star. La masia also has some promising black Spanish players.
Italy have balotelli, spain had senna, germany boateng
On the other hand france have giroud and lloris

Don't forget Antoine Griezmann
In fff black is majority lol

I saw this being asked again this year, and someone replied with "Because we're not a Disney movie"
Yeah saw that too lol
Uruguay also have very few black players.
The braindead "stuck in 2016 anit-SJW" one-liners are a plague not solely contained within the USA, for as much as me as an Argentine would love to be the case... Now the AnCaps are also starting to brew here... Ah, the internet...
Jon Blackburn Even a politician from Argentina responded with the same answer to that question that you have
@@susiekatzenand is true
Returned to watch this exceptionally written piece after Messi won the world cup with Argentina.

Not exceptional Lol. It's okay
Why can't you respond to the question: why Argentina does not have Black players? That's how many of you fail examinations. They ask you a question and you go out to answer nonsense; at the end, you say the teacher hates you and that's why he/she failed you in the exam! Caustic!
@@danboyigomsuk2027 afro argentines only make up less than 1%, half of which are females. And a small amount of them are interested in pursuing football as a career. Through simple mathematics/probability, it is not all that surprising that Argentina doesn't have black players in the men's national football squad or their leagues.
i have never heard about a black Argentinian man,let alone a footballer
I'm from Argentina and from a city of half a million people and the only blacks you see here are Senegalese immigrants or profesional basketball players

@@aar0nbbosa801 jesus, i got wooshed
@Tia That was just an ironic statement buddy
I misread the title at first and thought it said “back” players as in defenders. I was very surprised when he began talking about black people
Mee too

Well... it's correct both ways.
Zero defence ..lol
Santiago Borenszteyn that’s Brazil that doesn’t have any back players
Most comments haven't watched the full video it seems
At around minute 5, it is correctly said that the NT doesn't have black players because the country doesn't have black people, amounting to less than 0.5% of the population, and it is stated that this is not racist in and of itself.
But the reason why only 0.5% of our population is black CAN be traced to racist origins, from the XIX century and the 90s decade alike

Uruguay was the first country to let black players play in the international team, not gonna act like our team is 50% black but we usually have at least 2 or 3 in it. Never realized Argentina doesn't have black players until I read the title, weird to think about it
It's the same with Italy, aside from balotelli. I can't think of any more
Argentina's lack of black players always stood out to me. It always made me wonder if the land of silver appeared to have zero black people and if so, why?
Henry Jackson i think most of those people who could represent italy chose to represent their african counterparts
@@MrHenhen5 italy really needs to work thing out, the fact that some black players are afraid to go to serie A for the racist chants is really sad
Henry Jackson there is Stefano Okaka in Udinese but he has no caps ( His FIFA card shows he’s Italian)
im from venezuela, I been to argentina , the reason why there arent no blacks is because there are no black people in argentina , people there are white and some mestizos,, but no blacks at all.
Mi pana te diré lo que en realidad paso con los negros en argentina... SE LOS COGIERON A TODOS, se acabaron la chocolatada, fue una masacre.
Considering many black men and women were brought over during the transatlantic slave trade, why do you think there are no black argentines? Cause there definitely are, there isn’t many and that makes it easier to ignore them, suppress them and then act like they don’t exist.
They are less than 5%...the majority are racist
They are there they are marginalised and we’re only given stays on a census in 2010
@@kingsamuelofficialthe fact that the question didn't exist on a census doesn't mean they were invisible, come visit any city that other than Buenos Aires and you won't even see 10 black people, just different shades of brown, but you didn't considered them black enough.
why usa insist to calling football as "soccer"?
Soccer is just short for "Association Football", and the word was invented in Britain. There are a good few different types of football. In USA, the main type played is actually American Football, so they call Soccer Soccer to avoid confusion. USA aren't the only ones... the real question is, why do Brits (amd other countries) get so uptight about it!

those countries some of the white people STOP the other white people from doing what ARGENTINA did.
which is to wipe the country. indigenious + blacks are not in Argentina AFTER the 1900's before that they were millions.
because its covered up.
average Argentina do not know millions of blacks were in Argentina and the land had a robust population of natives as well.

Not to mention the national that they make their wealth with slavery trade and slavery work till almost the end of the 19th century...
Argentina is not Latin American
I don't think it was the point he was trying to make. I do think it was out of curiosity. Take my country (Ireland) for example.

Yeah same. The defensive response to this controversy from the Argentines is very telling…
No, I come because I like to see how the outside works sees us.
The thing is a bleck person, like really deep black not brown, would be a sight to see in what we call the Interior, we have many brown people descendants of native Americans but in the world they are not considered black.
All the black people here mostly had children with whiter people, so we all mixed that's why we are not that white either.
In 1813 we abolished slavery for children, he didn't mention that, even before that we didn't have much plantatios because it too cold in the south and in the north there was many people to work already (the natives) in the only region were many black people lived we had a war, and it's not like we sent them to war. The country was dismembered we didn't have any president or higher authority that was really respected so the other provinces didn't want anything to participate on the war. So all those provinces (3 or 4) had to defend themselves and offered freedom to slaves if they participate in the war. That's why many died there, but thet weren't the "front lines" they were all the lines.
The yellow fever affected EVEYBODY so we shouldn't considered that a cause the poorer section wasn't just the released slaves (they weren't even the majority) the greater population affected were rhe poor immigrants mostly Italians.
This video is misleading, go do a Google search
Sarmiento has a statue in the central park, he build schools everywhere and educated us the level of illiteracy fell to 2 %, we were the most educated country in the world at that time. So yes the guy may have been racis, honestly I don't know but it wouldn't have been weird in his time. And remember that at that time Europe was pillaging Africa and the US had segregation.
Incredible how many people in the comments criticize my country for not having black players, accusing it of being racist. Nothing is more racist than assuming that we must have black people because we are from Latin America
Argentina is racist slavery and hiding Nazi members. Messi being racist to a player. Maradona being racist to Nigerians in the world cup.
The USA also brought Nazis, scientists or not, they worked for and with Hitler, they also hid Nazis. And if you think that there are no black people in Argentina you are quite wrong, visit the north of the country and enjoy.

Calling someone Negro in many countries isn’t Racist. In Mexico we do it all the time. I live in AZ for 20+ years now and have come to know about 5 black Hispanics who themselves went by the name “El negro” , just like some light skin Hispanics go by “guero”
wow didn’t except you to be here
Thats inaccurate but just slightly, "negro" can be used as a racial slur just as much as it is used as an endearing term, I'm hispanic myself also so I'm not just talking out of my ass when it comes to this stuff, and more often than not I hear people disparagingly talking about anyone with dark skin using such terms as black or negro, moreno or dark skin, prieto or really black, so on and so forth, I even remember some black people from when I was a child who's nicknames were simio and monkey, you also see this culture reflected in households when a parent finds out their white son or daughter is dating a black person, the feeling is not that of embrace but of displeasure or disappointment, you can also see this culture in telenovelas, the protagonists are never black in Hispanic countries, beauty pageants are dominated mostly by white people, there's also under representation of blacks in politics, surely there are more examples of racism in other cultures throughout Latin America but I'll leave there for now, all this to say that we are no different than say the US when it comes to how we view blacks south of the border, sure we're not killing them or denying them their rights, I happen to think blacks get along with whites better in Latin American compared to how they're treated in the US and Europe but it's undeniable that there is a bias and as a result blacks still get mistreated in Latin America 🙋🏻♂️

Argentina's population was 36% black in 1816 when it became a nation. Shortly after independence, the white population went on an ethnic cleansing of the black population. While a large number of blacks were killed, another portion of the population got married into white families in order to acquire higher social privilege. Even though a lot of Argentine may not look black or identify as black, a large number of them have african dna in their blood.
Complexion and ethinicity are not the same.

Simplest answer:
Black population in Brazil: 6,2% pure afrodescent, 39,1% mulato, total = 45,3%
Black population in Uruguay: 8,1% [2011]
Black population in Argentina: 0,4% [2010]
Longer answer:
Yes, there was a larger percentage of black people back on the days of Spanish Colony.
It is unclear why it decreased with time. Probably war and epidemics.
However, in 1850, Argentine population was roughly of 1,000,000 people.
Between 1862 and 1940 6,6 millon inmigrants (mostly white Europeans) came to Argentina.
So the incidence of European inmigration was decisive.
Yes. Most black folk were either killed during the War for Independence or during the War of the Triple Alliance. Back then most black people were frontline soldiers so not many survived.
You forgot Argentinas genocide
@@StuartLynx wow, I guess the Black Argentinians LOVED Argentina more than the white Argentinians then. Enough to become soldiers on the front line. The ultimate sacrifice.

I was NOT aware of Alejandro de los Santos and I consider myself a huge fan of the National Team. A son of slaves who came to Argentina at the end of the XIX century, when his parents died he moved from Entre Ríos (where he was born) to Buenos Aires and even played in my team San Lorenzo! And not just that, but he won the Copa America in 1925? I'm almost in tears. This is such moving story. Definitely the most beautiful historical fact I've learnt of recently.
You call this beautiful historical facts....these are rather gruesome 🇦🇷 history. A bloody stain they need to explain.

Who cares if Argentina does not have any black players.
Slight correction, Argentina abolished slavery in 1813 not 1853. In 1853 we adopted our first Constitution in which it was set into law that all people born on Argentine soil are free. And whilst the video does its best to summarize the afro-argentine experience, it's quite lacking in some areas, as for instance the understanding of race relations in Latin America in general. Let me preface this by saying that in no way am I condoning or agreeing with these statements, but they're based on the historical understanding of the time periods.
Argentina, or at that time the Vice Royalty of the River Plate, was more of a backwoods hold out for the Spanish crown to hold off against French and British interests in the region. The vast majority of the Mid-Atlantic Slave Trade ended up going to Brazil (whom as a note only abolished slavery in 1888), and Argentina received a small fraction of it.
I do wholeheartedly agree that after manumission was declared in 1813 the vast majority of black slaves in Argentina (or the United Provinces in that time period) were forcibly conscripted into the Liberation Armies as front-line cannon-fodder soldiers, and that's where you see the biggest dip in the Afro-Argentine population, followed by the War of the Triple Alliance. Compound to this the unfortunate decision to exterminate the Southern native tribes in what was known as the Desert Campaign of the 1860's, and the influx of European immigration that had it's peak from around the 1870's to the 1890's, and you have the perfect conditions for developing a nation that would identify strongly with its European roots than other nations in Latin America.
One thing that is important to note is that the concept or race in Argentina was secondary to that of social class: call it a leftover of the Catholic Spanish way of running things, it is why the color of your skin in Argentina plays a secondary role to your place in society. And while it's true that later on Argentina had the typical view of race mainly shaped by the ideas of 19th Century Europe, there was a more sui generis approach to our understanding of it. This is why we don't distinguish our European ancestry by regionality: Spanish, Italian, German, French, Russian, Turkish, we don't have the anglocentric concept of hyphenating our national identity (ie: African-American, Italian-American, etc) and thus our views on what you would call race-relations (if you can even call it that) have a different approach than they do in the anglocentric nations.
Hope this cleared up some misconceptions and I welcome any questions or discussions. :)
Thank you for the additional info! Certainly helps to show the whole picture
Really! Does this make you feel better! 1813 vs 1853 or 1888! The same story where ever and when ever this race goes! Full stop! Period! Then write revisionist/confusionist history!

@@integrito3323 unfortunately it's only recently in human history that we have reached an understanding that all humanity is one unified species. You have to empathize with the thinking of the times and understand how revolutionary it was. It's easy to look back with our views and belittle how backwards things were, but the mere fact that these ideals were enshrined was revolutionary back then. Should we do better now? Yes, wholeheartedly, but don't judge our forefathers for having pushed things back in their day. They were going against the grain of everything their generation held sacred.
@@integrito3323 Well if you take into account Argentina is a country since 1816, it means slavery is a crime in Argentina even before Argentina existed. You should blame Spain for whatever happened before that.

@@SuperxDfAb te lo rektiaste

@@SuperxDfAb si pero esa abolicion era a nivel nacional, a nivel provincial la esclavitud ya habia sido abolida anteriormente. Si te fijas el texto de la constitucion dice "En la Nación Argentina no hay esclavos: Los pocos que hoy existen quedan libres desde la jura de esta Constitución; y una ley especial reglará las indemnizaciones a que dé lugar esta declaración. ... Y los esclavos que de cualquier modo se introduzcan quedan libres por el solo hecho de pisar el territorio de la República."
Lo cual denuncia un presente en el cual ya de por si la esclavitud era un fenomeno raro o incluso inexistente en algunas provincias , es un articulo que mas que nada cubre la posibilidad de defender a futuros esclavos ingresados por medios ilegales. Mi punto es que por la forma en que narra los hechos nos hace quedar como una nación esclavista hasta entrado el siglo XIX, cuando ya de por si ese fenomento habia dejado de ser importante en los 1820.
Que se yo, el video es de una fuente britanica, y arma una narrativa bastante tendenciosa sobre nuestro pais que esta mal argumentada y mal presentada a mi parecer. Pero bueno causa mas impacto decir "argentina es un pais de racismo y genocidio" que decir "90% de los argentinos son mestizos y encontrar un argentino negro puro es tan complicado como encontrar un argentino blanco puro, por ende la raza es mas una percepcion social que una categoria biologica en ese pais"

(11:36) Wrong! Argentina has not problems to admit its descendance, wether is African, Native or European. Secondly, the word "negro" is not only associated with social classes. It is also a word used to express affection towards somebody eg. "La Negra" Mercedes Sosa, "El Negro" Fontanarrosa, "El Negro Olmedo", "EL Negro Dolina" etc, etc....
Yes. Negro describes something black. There are other Spanish words that are explicitly insults towards black people.

The comment section is interesting. most did not watch the video to know why Argentina don't have black players but they are posting comments like "same reason Ghana, Nigeria, Togo don't have white players". Very strange

A lot of the data in this video is misleading or just plain wrong.... Argentina wasn't a "major part of the slave trade", there was barely anyone living in the Rio de la Plata back then. It was a forgotten backwater of the Spanish Empire.
Sure, 30% of the population was black in 1810, but the population back then was only 500 thousand people!
Add in the fact that 7.5 million European immigrants arrived in the following century (second largest recipient after the USA), and the fact that slavery and the slave trade were abolished very early (1812), and you can see how the black population of 150 thousand (30% of 500k) got dilluted due to that huge migratory wave of Europeans.
0.4% of the population today identifies as black, and genetic testing shows 7% has some black genes (such as that goalkeeper you mention), so it's all perfectly explained in the current demographics of the country. It's true that black people died in disproportionate numbers during the war in Paraguay, and that they were discriminated against during the 19th century, but to talk about genocide here is nonsense. You can bet that if there had been an organized ethnic cleansing campaign there would be historical evidence for it. A lot of this simply stems from not understanding statistics and Latin American demographics. 30% sounds like a lot, but it was a very tiny population that got overwhelmed by immigrants. There was no "one drop rule" here as in the British colonies. And again, 150 thousand black people got 7.5 million european immgrants dumped on top of them.
So that explains how those genes got dilluted.
Finally, that "97% identifies as white" is bullshit, that's some CIA estimate, Argentina doesn't keep tabs on the race of each citizen like you do in America or Britain. AFAIK, the national census doesn't ask about your race.
Edit: Also, the first Argentine President Bernardino Rivadavia was part Black. 200 years before Obama. Seems like a big fact you ommited because it doesn't fit the narrative you are trying to create.
You seem to be hiding something with all this garbage.
@@maktoobyt2009 wut?
I'm just saying that the creator of the video doesn't understand race and how we view it in Latin America. Everybody here is kinda mixed. There was no "one drop rule" like in the British colonies. And slavery was abolished very early which explains why those genes got dilluted.
Argentina was one of the first countries to abolish the slave trade and even our first president (Rivadavia) was part-black so this video is offensive to me in that he suggests we are all racist and wiped them out. He simply doesn't understand the history and the demographics.

D Lenon i totally understand your reference but I think htc was focusing on Argentina because it was a former slave colony and is surrounded with mixed race countries. In favor of your point I do agree that some times we look into things a bit too much that aren’t relevant. We live in a world that doesn’t like racism but loves talking about it sadly
@D Lenon the reason why the topic was posed is not because black people are more important but when all your neighbors have had black players consistently playing for them and you have'nt considering that 60% of the nation was black at one point then its makes an interesting study.
@D Lenon 4:25 watch from there :)

I can even go as far as to say that this video, full of lies and misinformation, is an attack to Argentines, as it blatantly lies about the reality of the country, hides information, and takes wrong assumptions as facts, like comparing the background of Brazil, when the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and Algarve used to have colonies in Africa, to that of Hispanic America, when no country there or even Spain had access to African slaves, because Spain only had small colonies in Northern Africa (and even smaller when compared to the size of those of Brazil/Portugal, France, England and even Belgium), populated by Arabic people, that had even invaded Spain itself in the past
