"Argentina Is Not Racist Anymore" Dude we abolished slavery in 1813, and never had legal segregation of any kind. We also never had "native reservations", we integrated them all "roman-style". Their chiefs became officers of the cavalry army, and their childrent went to the same public schools as anyone else. Plus by 1920 there were more immigrants than natives living here. We were never racist. Or to be more precise, we were never more racist than the US or the UK.
I am an African American who studied abroad in Buenos Aires in 2007 and I had zero problems. Argentines are cool people. Its more diverse than people think, they have Asians who own grocery stores and immigrants from other Spanish speaking countries there. Yo soy estadounidense y no tenía ningún problema en Argentina. Tengo el país en mi corazón.
@@alfredodelacruz1864 it was a compromise in the 1990's. The USA did not want their blacks to ID as "AFRICAN" because Black Americans are spiritually, physically and mentality must be tied to the USA. if not = it fails. the 13 colonies, 13th amendment and 13% are tied to faith of the continent. The name "African- American is not wrong. its just too ancient for the people who are on the land. Its like calling red Indians (not native american but Native Siberians) . Many Blacks see Africa as a "political" ID not a genetic ID. Many Blacks see America as their genetic ID not Africa. so - that is the compromised. BLACK is too general { that can be Nepal, Australian Natives, Jamaicans, Brazilian etc etc African American, Hawaiian natives, and the MIXED Race, native Americans were added into the Census 1990 to 2000s due to the variety of new immigrants coming to America

I can second this. My mom is Argentine and the first time she saw a black person was when she was 27 and moved to the US. If people look it's out of curiosity not necessarily malice.
@@honnibun3974 It would be a surprise in Argentina because given that we are being forever constantly labelled "the most racist country in the world" by some African-Americans who are too stupid to understand that their not getting first-class service on the spot and getting only sheety service has nothing to do with their skin color (since the Argentinian themselves are also getting the same sheety service) and everything to do with our third world standards, then why some black folks would ever want to come to this supposedly notsee rats nest?? It's just the same as immigrants from Africa AND with basic Portuguese, why they don't go to friendlier, warmer, same language Brazil instead and choose us, a bankrupt country, don't they read newspapers?? Why French-speaking Africans immigrants from Senegal come to Argentina instead of going straight to France or the French Caribbean islands or French Guiana, why do they want to ruin their opportunities?? It doesn't make sense for us, since they need to lose precious time learning basic Spanish PLUS coming to a country eternally jumping from hyperinflation to even more hyperinflation or outright poverty; so their selection criteria strike us as particularly inefficient and dumb. Of course we're pleased they chose us ("hey, we can't be so bad a place if they chose us instead of Haiti, yay!"), but we also immediately feel so bad for the poor basterds ("let's give him ten more seconds and reality will hit him so hard in the face, he'll leave his skull print on this concrete wall"). Also, we are geographically removed from almost everywhere, we are equally surprised to see anybody from Ireland or Russia visiting us when they have so many closer, and warmer, and more interesting tourist destinations than us. It is VERY different when there's a black tourist from Brazil or Colombia because they know, and they know us, they just want to quench their curiosity and see if we have any animosity at all against those countries (and no, it's only in football and due to football folklore, where we "have to" outdo and outmatch and outshout everybody else; apart from that, we are in a constant competition among Argentinians to be even more friendly than the friendliest Argentinian. THEY know very well that "negro" is a term of endearment here, we use it among ourselves and there's absolutely zero offense (unless you say it in a derogatory tone, but the word itself is not, and has never been offensive). THEY know we are not racist. Only African Americans think we are. I'm glad this guy here proves to be the one exception.

As a black man who travelled to Argentina few months ago for work, I can confidently say I had a great and positive experience. Austin is so damn right, the way you carry yourself cannot be underestimated when you travel as a black person. Dress nice, shave clean, talk proper and move like you're somebody then people will reciprocate. I remember going to a popular bar in Buenos Aires for Friday Happy Hour. A group of women were randomly approaching me for pictures while some were hitting on me hard core. Some may argue it's racist but I quickly understood many Argentinians are simply not used to seeing black folks in their daily experiences. Regardless I had a great experience, made new friends along the way and definitely y'all to visit the country. Thanks Austin
and ("Argentines" is more classic, whereas "Argentinians" is more modern.) true, BUT not acceptable to use, WRONG! if u wanna use it correctly...there is only one: Argentine. same w American, SAME!!!!!
Been here for 5 year as a black british jamiacan i never felt a vibe yet. In the uk and newyork i have had many many bad experiences big up ive been all over the country
Argentina is the place where a Russian can live next to a Ukrainian, where a Jew lives and shares the same places as a Muslim or a Christian. In Argentina there have never been bathrooms for blacks or whites. There is always a misfit but rest assured that It is a very small minority.
People from outside the country saying we are racist but they ve never been here smh. I dont even know where tf they get that miss information about us being racist against black people. At least is intriging to see coloured people in some parts of the country because is not common but i know for a fact that you are not going to get yelled racist slurs or treathed diferent than anyone else. I blame content creators who does miss informative videos against Argentina with biased information they find online. We have a great palette of skin colour around the country, we dont give a single f about it. The problem is you interpolate YOUR racism problems in the past thinking we suffered the same here, We didnt. Slavery was a thing but not as big as it was in the US. We even abolished it before the US. Mixed people fought for the liberty of this country. I invite everyone who want to see it with your own eyes what im saying is true. Come here, is cheap, food is great and you have a lot of places to go. Stop believing everything you see online like you were a robot, think by yourself please.

I agree 100%. How you carry yourself is very important. After all, we are guests in THEIR home, so act accordingly. Everyone here has been extremely kind and helpful. I've even been invited to parties by locals, simply by speaking to them in passing. Life is a direct reflection of your attitude.
You will always find a racist, no matter where in the world you are, but in Argentina, especially young people, they do not have that type of vision about people, there is no difference based on skin color, we are all brothers. What can happen is that they want to make certain jokes that in our culture we understand, but to outsiders they may seem strange. I wish you a nice stay in our country, big hug.
Don't exchange your dollars at the bank or use your credit card. Go to a currency exchange place and you will get more than double what you'd get from the banks.
The joke = racism disguised as a joke. Argentines don't realize that their own vocabulary is racist! Don't you realize they always use the word "negro" as something negative? Or even call Brazilians “monos” or "macacos". This isn't a joke, it's racism disguised as a joke.

In modern times, everyone is equal before Argentine laws. If a black person lives there, such a person is equal: can study, find work, start a business, join clubs, play football, have a lot white Argentinian friends, intermarry and mix well with everyone else. There could be very small percentage of people that could be racists, but I have never seen such people. What I saw was a great cherish and care for black people in Argentine. By the way, if you want to ask, I lived in Buenos Aires for 10 years and I have a native (Porteño)son actually living there right now I am writing this for you. And Argentine, in my opinion, was the country that treated me humanly the most among all the countries I have been or lived in. I wish a great success to all Argentinians wherever they are! The best! You all have impacted me very positively, so I cannot accept anyone talking bs about Argentinians.

el problema es que lo traducen literal al inglés, le pasó a Cavani en Inglaterra (Los ingleses doble discurso lo sancionaron y lo discriminaron por la forma de hablar en Uruguay). Acá la palabra negro no es negativa, no es un insulto. Es como decir rubio, colorado, lo que sea. El tema es que para ellos es un problema en su cultura.

. I took a flight home from Miami to see my family , On my way home to Wisconsin and I was seated across to this Argentina women with her daughter. They were both going back home but we both went to New Jersey for the layover. I’m a lightskin Afro Latino but I do look like a light skin black guy, however we have the best conversation ever while her daughter was smiling at me staring at me the whole time with sparks all over her eyes. I do get some of that attention in Miami but in states Wisconsin and Minnesota he’ll naw. I get a lot of mean mug and looks of hate from women, women in the Midwest barely give me eye contact and they tend to be more standoffish to me . If you guys think Argentina is racist, you’re more likely to get discriminated in the Midwest in the United States than in Argentina . I am like Auston too, I groom, I do skincare , and I eat healthy to have a clean youthful look . At least people in Argentina acknowledge that but in the Midwest in usa … hell no
and think out history is the same as the United States, Argentina has never been a racist country, the total opposite we have always been very inclusive of all races except for the jew who genocided the selknam people in the south pero a estos grones no les importa, son yanquis y a los yanquis les enseñan a los blancos y a querer matarnos a todos, andate a un ghetto yanqui y mira si ahí no te roban matan y te hacen de todo
pero lo somos y no esta mal, mira estados hundidos... lleno de grones que son agresivos, roban, matan... ya tenemos suficiente con los villeros de aca como para tener otro tipo de plaga
As an argentine i can tell you that racism in Argentina is nothing compared to the U.S. You may have a distored notion of us because of football (Soccer for you guys).In that context, it's super common to insult the oposing team and its supporters with every insult in the book. It happens every week amongst ourselves in the national football league. We insult each other and we laugh it out (At least most of the time). The problem is when we take that sort of culture to other countries that take those insults too seriosuly (like Brazil for example). To us it's funny and it's a part of football culture but to them is highly ofenssive and racist. The thing is that, when it comet to daily life, we are not a racist country by any means. If you, as a black person, come to Argentina you will not be harassed, attacked or mistreated just for being black.
Con todo respeto alguna no te dejaron pasar en la puerta del boliche por tu color de piel? o te discriminaron por ser gordo, pobre, de algún país limítrofe (Bolivia por ejemplo)? La discriminación y el racismo sí esta presente en Argentina. Es muy diferente, comparándonos con EEUU, pero todavía tenemos mucho que progresar como sociedad.
@@qIpIRONqIp Presente obvio, pasa en todo el mundo. A lo que voy es que es llamativo que en USA nos tengan como racistas a nosotros cuando allá son peores, me parece a mi. Por eso digo que, en mi opinión, esa noción que tienen de nosotros es, al menos en parte, por el futbol.
gengeuse! que tonteria bajar a este nivel de discusion defendiendonos por un insulto en futbol. Acusan a Argentina los paises mas violentos, segregacionistas, y criminales de la historia, que se han dedicado al comercio de personas esclavizandolas, y te haces problemas dando excusas sobre estas tonterias de insultar, no gastes tu tiempo, no lo entenderan porque estan fanatizados, muchos resentidos y la mayoria hablando apenas por terceros con total ignorancia sobre la tematica, influidos por quienes los idiotizan con estos planteos absurdos.

Creo que el mejor pais para los gringos negros es Estados Unidos, Argentina tambien porque dise su presidente que son europeos estarian como en Estados Unidos, Brasil, donde comentan que hay mas negros que en Africa, Colombia, es normal la gente africana Ecuador, Peru, Canada, Cuba, Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama, Uruguay, Guayana, Belice, Etc. en todos estos paises estarian como en casa es normal la gente negra en otros paises no podrian estar porque no hay gente negra y los pueden discriminar. Hay paises que estan libres de gente negra y creo que los pueden discriminar.
Here in South America, we are not racist at all. Unfortunatly,that is a fault of United States. Our skin can have the color that she wants... the difference is between bad people and good people. Have a nice trip.
Actually u should check chile, the european related chilean really misbehave with the chileans that have some american traits,, specially un the south comunities
Then how come blacks in South America complain about racism? And how come former president Hugo Chavez called out the racism in Venezuela? I think your lying.
@Celeste-zti te dire mi punto de vista , el argentino puede decir miles de cosas pero en los hechos cuando charla no predomina el racismo . ejemplo 7 años trabaje en una empresa importante y cada tanto venian personas de eeuu y un par de veces me toco gringos que no respondian a mi saludo y tan mal no hablo ingles para que no me entendiesen . en cambio el argento dira yanqui de mierda etc... pero cuando un gringo te habla tratamos de responder , ayudarlo a llegar a destino . El argento tiene esa caracteristica de poner sobrenombres pero de ahi a que sea rasista hay un paso enorme
A diferencia de USA los ciudadanos no anteponemos el origen etnico, en USA dicen afroamericano, hispanoamericano, italoamericano etc etc, aqui eres argentino simple y llano. Sin etiquetas. De hecho es el pais con mas inmigrantes de paises limítrofes. Y eso aporto mas diversidad.
Es que no les decimos así porque duran poco pareciéndose a sus ancestros, enseguida nos cruzamos con ellos y los asimilamos 🤣 (entiéndase por cruzarnos a reproducirnos)
the African Argentinian population did not dwindle away, after they built developed, and fought to free Argentina, the African population was thanked by, being systematically hoarded in concentration camps and murdered, the entire Argentinian African population, if you search your own popular history, there are lots of songs about the cleansing and murder of African Argentinians.
@@rascott2935 That is not true, the population of blacks in Argentina was always small, it was only significant in Buenos Aires and at that time it only had 50 thousand inhabitants, used as servants in the mansions. In the independence revolution every black slave who fought for the cause was granted freedom, even one of our greatest heroes of independence is black and we have a song about it more than 120 years ago, not like the racists of the north who did not allow using the same bathroom as people of color
@@demiannavarro6207 What actually happened to Black Argentineans is so disturbing and inhumane, it would be shocking that it wasn’t being taught in classrooms It is widely reported that president of Argentina from 1868 to 1874, Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, undertook a ‘covert genocide’ that wiped out the Afro-Argentinean population to the point that by 1875, there were so little Black people left in Argentina that the government didn’t even bother registering African-descendants in the national census.
Yes, but that happens in EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY. So Argentina is a very NORMAL, standard country. Black American ("african-american") woke activists have been trying to implement the idea that we are racist and that it would be tied to "aRgEnTinA hElPeD tHe nOtSeEs aNd gOt LiKe fIvE hUnDrEd tHoUsAnD miLLiOnS oF tHem". Decime que no hay un problema de clasismo en Bolivia, Francia (qué casualidad, me salió segunda... por qué sera?), China, Kenya, Polonia o Uganda... En todas partes hay clasismo, siempre lo hubo, y siempre lo habrá. También hay clasismo en los países nórdicos. El clasismo es, digamos, "normal" en tanto al rico le molesta que la cercanía de un pobre le rompa su burbuja estética, y al pobre le molesta los aires de superioridad del rico.
Seems like folks want you to experience racism there so bad lol. I'm glad your enjoying yourself and not letting people keep you from exploring new places because there "might be" racism. Theres going to be good and bad people everywhere you go so keep traveling and seeing for yourself.
Argentina was lit! I went when the peso fell and everything was super cheap. I didn’t experience any racism, people were more curious about where we from but very welcoming.
As an argentine I can tell you that there's no real racism in argentina, at least not towards african american, nothing compared to the US, not in a million years. There's though some kind of racism towards people with native traits :( but not that much... it depends on what part of the country are you visiting and who you talk to... and it's actually hard to explain... Of course there are racist people like everywhere else but it's not like if you visit poland where everyone will stare at you. Here people wont mind what you do and actually most people will be eager to help you with what you need. it's not a perfect country , not by far, but we have nice people....
Argentina never was racist, more even since the colonies we had laws that says everyone that borns here will be free, so the slave business never thrive like in USA or Brazil
Just be yourself and try to keep an open mind, and im pretty sure you will find more friendly curiosity than racism or rejection here. The videos about argentina being racist went too far spreading a lot of BS. Hope you enjoy.
Argentina never had a reputation for being racist, until in 2022 an article appeared in a newspaper saying that because there were no black players on the national soccer team. After that, saying that Argentina is racist began to be repeated as if it were true. Argentina is not only not racist, but it is the least racist country in the world for one simple reason, any Argentinian doesn't give a shit about someone's skin color, and I think that is the best definition of not being racist. I have also heard it said that Argentina has a history of racism, and that is also false. In Argentina there is no black population due to historical facts that were the opposite of racism, such as not being a British colony, which was the main slave-trading country, and that when they tried to do it in this country it was not popular. Slavery was not commercially successful in this country and that is why only 2% of black people came and much less than 1% to what is known today as Argentina. In Argentina, anyone in the world, of any race and any religion, can come and study in the best schools or universities for free, use the health system for free, work, etc. Honestly, that reputation that is being created for no real reason is offensive.

@@PPHDocumentaries In Argentina several years ago, largely introduced by the educational system by government policies, it became cool to be a victim of the "system" in some way. I'm not just talking about recism. If you ask someone who is very thin, they will tell you that Argentine society has a phobia of thin bodies and that they feel discriminated against for their thinness and depression, therefore it is the fault of that society. If you talk to someone who is not skinny, they will tell you that they feel discriminated against because when they are not served in a restaurant or if they do not do well with women, it is because society discriminates against them. If you talk to a woman she will tell you that she is discriminated against for being a woman, if you talk to a man she feels discriminated against for being a man and the new feminist culture. You don't have to believe me, just ask any Argentinian if they feel discriminated against and those are the answers you will get. Yes, it is true that it is a classist culture. By this I mean that they do discriminate but based on educational level. If someone of any race, sex or size is well educated they are treated very well, unlike someone without the same. level of education. I repeat, regardless of race.

Actualmente, tenemos migraciones de todas partes del mundo y en mayoría Latinoaméricana.... la obsesión con los tonos de piel es meramente EEUU o europea, acá lo importante son las culturas y las personas.

I'm so happy to hear Auston say that he is not in competition with anyone. That is a great attitude. I dislike hearing Black men say they're second to White men.
I travel to Colombia and sometime off the well traveled path. This is the exact same messages i tell anyone who's starting to travel abroad. How you move and how one carry themselves is very important. Developing good travel elegance is priceless when visiting other destinations. I carry myself as if everyone is watching and staying alert for the best and worse case scenario in people is the best way to keep yourself safe and enjoy your trip
These countries don’t think about race the same way as Americans do. I know it’s hard to understand as we are in the gringo bubble, but it’s true. Are there potentially racists in Argentina? Of course, as there is everywhere, including predominantly black countries. But I’d say the majority are just people trying to survive and pretty cool. If you treat them well and present yourself well there won’t be a problem 99 percent of the time. In terms of dating, I actually think being a black guy could potentially be an advantage, and not a disadvantage. You are exotic and unique there. There are a lot of very liberal, open white girls in Palermo and Buenos Aires that probably fantasize about dating black men
Some couple from Argentina was on the same train as me and I could tell the woman wanted me, she was staring so yes I agree. The dude looked straight up German but they spoke Spanish so I put two and two together. They like the clean cut look, more black men need to come with it. Strive for refinement.

I know its a bit foreign to most Americans (apart from NYC and Chicago) but Buenos Aires has pretty good Public Transportation network (Subway, Commuter Rail and Bus) Auston you gotta make use of it. Way cheaper and faster than driving everywhere as well
Nice to see travel content that is wholly centered on dating and relationships. Buenos Aires looks like a beautiful city with great food and architecture. I think if more "passport bros" took this holistic approach to taking care of their appearance, getting to know an area, and talking to more people than just the first pretty face they see on the street they would enjoy themselves more and improve black men's reputation globally.
In Argentina we love that foreigners enjoy our country and culture, we are very happy to share this with them and make them part of it. We are very interested in learning about them and their culture regardless of skin color, religion, or country of origin. We can have problems when we feel that we are disrespected, but we are also flexible if we understand that that person, not being from our country, really did not mean to be rude.

At the end of the day it all boils down to your personal life experiences and your level of risk adverse. Someone like me I will definitely travel to Argentina despite other black people saying it’s a racist country, but I will not travel to certain other South American countries not because of racism, but because of the crime. Until I experience straight out in your face bold racism, I refuse to adapt a victim mentality, I will carry myself with dignity, and like Auston said, I will speak, dress, smell, and groom myself well.
Argentina es el país menos racista del mundo, pero para entenderlo tienen que venir acá. Nadie aqui en Argentina se esta fijando en el color de piel del otro, literal, es algo que no nos interesa.

Acá en argentina no van a encontrar ese tipo de malos tratos, a menos que seas una persona irrespetuosa.

Te parece que discriminamos?, si fuera asi no tendriamos media Bolivia y casi todo Paraguay viviendo acá. Además con tu trabajo les pagás para que vivan sin trabajar, mientras que un indigena argentino se muere de hambre. Es al contrario, al extranjero limitrofe se lo trata mejor que al nativo
@@anasilvina777 no estoy para nada de acuerdo. Viví en la Matanza, en Lanus, etc. Por mi trabajo pasé periodos largos por todo el conurbano y me consta que son trabajadores que pasan 14, 16 horas trabajando en sus talleres donde se confecciona la ropa, el calzado que usas, hasta el secador de caucho q se usa para pasar el trapo de piso. Sin ir mas lejos los verduleros, todos bolivianos! No conozco un verdulero argentino. Porque ese sacrificio de levantarse a las 3, 4 am para ir a comprar la verdura no lo hace cualquiera. Pero para saber eso tenes que frecuentar, no repetir lo que dicen en la TV, además también fui a la primaria y secundaria en el barrio de flores y la verdad es q los discriminaban. Hoy tengo la fortuna de seguir viajando por toda la Argentina. Por eso digo lo que veo. Y los vagos que me molesta mantener con mi trabajo son los politicos, jueces, altos mandos de las fuerzas (todos mafiosos!, narcos, trata, estan metidos en todas! Y cobran sueldos millonarios que salen de nuestros bolsillos), millonarios que no pagan impuestos, empresarios negreros, vas a los country y están todos colgados de la luz!
It needed to be said, every culture ain’t into that unkept look, scraggly beards, uncombed hair, etc. Often times the unkept look is a adoptive overcompensating behavior to prevent BW in Western culture from calling BM zesty because they are clean shaven and dress nice. My nephew complained that girls don’t like nerdy looking, well dressed guys, so now he dresses like a hobo.
I totally get your nephews outlook unfortunately if he comes outside the Matrix he'll have to "up his status in regards to his gear or how he represents himself".
Hay una frase muy célebre en Argentina, de una artista muy valorada: " como te ven, te tratan; si te ven mal te maltratan; si te ven bien te contratan". No importa tu origen ni color de piel, todo se reduce a como te presentas al mundo en este país.
I’ve found around the world is that no matter how you dress or interact with some people, your skin colour can still be a problem for them. Just be your authentic self and forget about trying to fit in.
It isn't the skin color, that's a cop out and you know it. It is the CULTURE. Easy money, fast problems, our reputations proceeds us. Before we walk in, our reputations walk in first. So be careful where you walk into because pookie and rayray have already been there.
And you see how he disassociates himself from Floyd. Remember Floyd was helping raise money for his channel. Now look how easily he can turn his back. This is sad and definitely not a true friend.
The light brown skin comment does have a little truth to it.. most of those countries its all about colorism. The lighter u are the more your accepted, the darker its more frowned apon especially with the women.. im about the same complexion as Austin and the first thing women say to me in South East Asia or South America is "we the same" and hold their arm next to mine and I have no problem dating.. I think the lighter brown does help
Hola, soy argentina y le voy a contar una anécdota. El verano pasado, en una piscina, había una pareja muy bonita con su bebé, ella era blanca como la luna y el negro como el carbón. No hay que generalizar tanto. En el amor se ponen muchas cuestiones en juego, además de la apariencia.
Acá en Argentina nos da igual... Un afro descendiente siempre va a ser algo poco común, por más clara que sea su piel, pero jamás será discriminado. Jamás será mirado en forma negativa... A menos que se comporte mal, por supuesto.

It’s unfortunate that travel plans with Floyd didn’t work out. You can have more fun and feel less lonely when you have a circle of friends/family traveling with you.

Not really. It's greatly freeing and feels empowering when you travel alone because it forces you outside your comfort zone. You can easily make friends in the countries when traveling alone too.
My spent some time in Argentina in 2018. It reminded me so much of New York. The people were fine. I didn’t experience any racism. Miami is Wayyyyy more racists than Buenos Aires. Would I go back… I’m open to it, but not on my bucket list. But you’ll be fine and it’s generally safe. We were leaving a club at 3am and there was this group of well dressed 12, 13, 14 yos roaming the streets, smoking weed and apparently doing some hard drugs… we got a lil uncomfortable as we were the only people around. At some point we ended up talking to them, they were cool and funny and ended up taking pictures with us. People in clubs tended to cool, but not super engaging… I don’t speak Spanish so I believe it was the language barrier. However, for the most part, we really enjoyed this beautiful city!
yep I've travelled to over 50 countries, and I don't remotely think about if someone in that country doesn't like me because of my color. People need to stop trying to be liked by every damn person they come across.
Yeah that really does get annoying I’m with you. I’ve been to around 30 different countries and never once have I walked around looking for acceptance and to see who likes me or who doesn’t. Black Americans have a really bad habit of doing this. “Being black in Thailand” “Being black in Romania” this inferiority complex Bs has to stop. Just try to enjoy the country you are in, respect the locals meet some ladies and that’s it. Everyone isn’t going to like you no matter what country same as everyone doesn’t like you in America.
Jajajaja el taxista queriendo hacer quedar bien Buenos Aires, no es tan seguro como dice, de todas formas si escuché de la boca de otros extranjeros que es más seguros que otras ciudades que han visitado.

Oh! Taht's my neighborhood. Let me tell you: we have racism like in any other country. But being black, it is possible that you will not suffer discrimination, because the black Argentine population is very small, so there is not even a racial stereotype around the black, as there is around the South American native. When the word "black" is used together with a pejorative adjective, it is usually directed at someone non-white, but rarely towards a black person. Even if you come across racist people, they are not going to be racist to you because they will see you as a tourist. Racist discrimination in Argentina always comes hand in hand with class discrimination. And at this point, your observation is very accurate: as long as you are well dressed and not dressed in rags, you will hardly be discriminated against.
Well, this is more accurate. Lo dije bien? Yo soy de Buenos Aires , pero no vivo en esos barrios chetos, vivo en Paternal... dónde el almacenero me dice "negrita"... aunque soy re blanca, con pecas, nieta de gallegos.
I always laugh at Auston giving his expert opinion on a country when he's been there no more than 2-3 days. Go on Auston tell us about racism and then get into the economy as well since your such an expert on everything. Your boy floyd got ran out after 2 days!
True, and you need to live in a country to understand it, a trip is a tourist flex and as a tourist you know only the surface. Every country I have been to I have lived in, worked paid rent, and everything.
racism exists everywhere, but it operates differently depending where u are. Its impossible to say that all argentinians are racist like is also impossible to say that nobody is racist in Argentina. But i can tell u something, the racism that exists in Argentina, and other latinamerican countrys, it cames from a place of ignorance rather than a place of hate, like in the US In the US there is more violence
Te digo en Argentina hay muy poco racismo. Entiendo que es algo difícil de comprender para personas que se criaron en países con un pasado muy esclavista. El racismo era la justificación para esa actividad. En Argentina hay clasismo, hasta cierto punto, hay barreras entre personas con muy diferente grado de educación... Pero tampoco es extremo.
I am glad that you are enjoying your stay here, I want to tell you that I understand your situation, expecting every moment to encounter racism, but the truth is that Latinos, especially Argentines, are the most friendly people towards foreigners, and it is likely that you never find that racism you are looking for, the only way to find racism in Latin America is when there is a football game.
@@jesucristobostero3287THIS. Some act surprised football fans can be racist, but apparently they arent surprised there are no away fans in Argentina stadiums due fans LITERALLY KILLING each other. Those type of people you expect to be decent human beings? Pff.
welcome to our country, we are not racist just stereotypical things that people and television installed in peoples mind, of course there allways are some stupid people that act that way but i think in every country you will find them.
Everything Auston mentioned in the beginning is very true. Every person has a bias. I knew people like Floyd growing up. Self Awareness is key. As a man, you must develop yourself. Internally first, then outwardly. Your dress, speech, intelligence and confidence. People, especially women, is attracted to confidence especially if you are well dressed. Swiping & Tinder isn’t real, it is only a introduction. How you show up is important. Based on the videos, Floyd thinks he just needs to show up. Ah no… He needs to put the work in to get the results he is looking for.
@@nathancasey7712 I believe you are partially correct. He compensates the lack of confidence with over aggressive approaches. The “cold approach” only works if the woman provides an opportunity. If you are looking scrubby women won’t provide an opening. Additionally it is probably the reason why he was hemmed up at the airport. I don’t think he realized that the airport personally profile people based on how they look. If they look De shelved, they will pull you aside

"Argentina Is Not Racist Anymore"
Dude we abolished slavery in 1813, and never had legal segregation of any kind. We also never had "native reservations", we integrated them all "roman-style". Their chiefs became officers of the cavalry army, and their childrent went to the same public schools as anyone else. Plus by 1920 there were more immigrants than natives living here. We were never racist. Or to be more precise, we were never more racist than the US or the UK.
👏👏👏
Best proper response up there.
And is the wrong time to come lurking in this country. GTFO.

I am an African American who studied abroad in Buenos Aires in 2007 and I had zero problems. Argentines are cool people. Its more diverse than people think, they have Asians who own grocery stores and immigrants from other Spanish speaking countries there.
Yo soy estadounidense y no tenía ningún problema en Argentina. Tengo el país en mi corazón.
"I am an African-American" I know no Black American person who ID themselves that way. OK then, Im a old white man.
@@cinnamonstar808it's a word Jesse Jackson created and they fell for it. Like they tried to label all Latinos as LatinX
@@alfredodelacruz1864 it was a compromise in the 1990's. The USA did not want their blacks to ID as "AFRICAN"
because Black Americans are spiritually, physically and mentality must be tied to the USA.
if not = it fails.
the 13 colonies, 13th amendment and 13% are tied to faith of the continent.
The name "African- American is not wrong. its just too ancient for the people who are on the land.
Its like calling red Indians (not native american but Native Siberians) .
Many Blacks see Africa as a "political" ID not a genetic ID.
Many Blacks see America as their genetic ID not Africa.
so - that is the compromised.
BLACK is too general { that can be Nepal, Australian Natives, Jamaicans, Brazilian etc etc
African American, Hawaiian natives, and the MIXED Race, native Americans were added into the Census 1990 to 2000s
due to the variety of new immigrants coming to America

Argentines arent racist in general, being one of the whitest countries with nearly no blacks you will be seen as uncommon, but not in a negative way
I can second this. My mom is Argentine and the first time she saw a black person was when she was 27 and moved to the US. If people look it's out of curiosity not necessarily malice.
I mean they did kill most of the actual black population to reach this state
We dont live under a rock, wont get surprise to see other people lol
Why would anyone be surprise in 2024? lol
@@honnibun3974 It would be a surprise in Argentina because given that we are being forever constantly labelled "the most racist country in the world" by some African-Americans who are too stupid to understand that their not getting first-class service on the spot and getting only sheety service has nothing to do with their skin color (since the Argentinian themselves are also getting the same sheety service) and everything to do with our third world standards, then why some black folks would ever want to come to this supposedly notsee rats nest?? It's just the same as immigrants from Africa AND with basic Portuguese, why they don't go to friendlier, warmer, same language Brazil instead and choose us, a bankrupt country, don't they read newspapers?? Why French-speaking Africans immigrants from Senegal come to Argentina instead of going straight to France or the French Caribbean islands or French Guiana, why do they want to ruin their opportunities?? It doesn't make sense for us, since they need to lose precious time learning basic Spanish PLUS coming to a country eternally jumping from hyperinflation to even more hyperinflation or outright poverty; so their selection criteria strike us as particularly inefficient and dumb. Of course we're pleased they chose us ("hey, we can't be so bad a place if they chose us instead of Haiti, yay!"), but we also immediately feel so bad for the poor basterds ("let's give him ten more seconds and reality will hit him so hard in the face, he'll leave his skull print on this concrete wall"). Also, we are geographically removed from almost everywhere, we are equally surprised to see anybody from Ireland or Russia visiting us when they have so many closer, and warmer, and more interesting tourist destinations than us.
It is VERY different when there's a black tourist from Brazil or Colombia because they know, and they know us, they just want to quench their curiosity and see if we have any animosity at all against those countries (and no, it's only in football and due to football folklore, where we "have to" outdo and outmatch and outshout everybody else; apart from that, we are in a constant competition among Argentinians to be even more friendly than the friendliest Argentinian. THEY know very well that "negro" is a term of endearment here, we use it among ourselves and there's absolutely zero offense (unless you say it in a derogatory tone, but the word itself is not, and has never been offensive). THEY know we are not racist. Only African Americans think we are. I'm glad this guy here proves to be the one exception.

As a black man who travelled to Argentina few months ago for work, I can confidently say I had a great and positive experience. Austin is so damn right, the way you carry yourself cannot be underestimated when you travel as a black person. Dress nice, shave clean, talk proper and move like you're somebody then people will reciprocate. I remember going to a popular bar in Buenos Aires for Friday Happy Hour. A group of women were randomly approaching me for pictures while some were hitting on me hard core. Some may argue it's racist but I quickly understood many Argentinians are simply not used to seeing black folks in their daily experiences. Regardless I had a great experience, made new friends along the way and definitely y'all to visit the country. Thanks Austin

Argentina is the place where a Russian can live next to a Ukrainian, where a Jew lives and shares the same places as a Muslim or a Christian. In Argentina there have never been bathrooms for blacks or whites. There is always a misfit but rest assured that It is a very small minority.
People from outside the country saying we are racist but they ve never been here smh. I dont even know where tf they get that miss information about us being racist against black people. At least is intriging to see coloured people in some parts of the country because is not common but i know for a fact that you are not going to get yelled racist slurs or treathed diferent than anyone else. I blame content creators who does miss informative videos against Argentina with biased information they find online. We have a great palette of skin colour around the country, we dont give a single f about it. The problem is you interpolate YOUR racism problems in the past thinking we suffered the same here, We didnt. Slavery was a thing but not as big as it was in the US. We even abolished it before the US. Mixed people fought for the liberty of this country. I invite everyone who want to see it with your own eyes what im saying is true. Come here, is cheap, food is great and you have a lot of places to go. Stop believing everything you see online like you were a robot, think by yourself please.

You will always find a racist, no matter where in the world you are, but in Argentina, especially young people, they do not have that type of vision about people, there is no difference based on skin color, we are all brothers. What can happen is that they want to make certain jokes that in our culture we understand, but to outsiders they may seem strange.

In modern times, everyone is equal before Argentine laws. If a black person lives there, such a person is equal: can study, find work, start a business, join clubs, play football, have a lot white Argentinian friends, intermarry and mix well with everyone else. There could be very small percentage of people that could be racists, but I have never seen such people. What I saw was a great cherish and care for black people in Argentine.

As an argentine i can tell you that racism in Argentina is nothing compared to the U.S. You may have a distored notion of us because of football (Soccer for you guys).In that context, it's super common to insult the oposing team and its supporters with every insult in the book. It happens every week amongst ourselves in the national football league. We insult each other and we laugh it out (At least most of the time). The problem is when we take that sort of culture to other countries that take those insults too seriosuly (like Brazil for example). To us it's funny and it's a part of football culture but to them is highly ofenssive and racist. The thing is that, when it comet to daily life, we are not a racist country by any means. If you, as a black person, come to Argentina you will not be harassed, attacked or mistreated just for being black.
Con todo respeto alguna no te dejaron pasar en la puerta del boliche por tu color de piel? o te discriminaron por ser gordo, pobre, de algún país limítrofe (Bolivia por ejemplo)? La discriminación y el racismo sí esta presente en Argentina. Es muy diferente, comparándonos con EEUU, pero todavía tenemos mucho que progresar como sociedad.
@@qIpIRONqIp Presente obvio, pasa en todo el mundo. A lo que voy es que es llamativo que en USA nos tengan como racistas a nosotros cuando allá son peores, me parece a mi. Por eso digo que, en mi opinión, esa noción que tienen de nosotros es, al menos en parte, por el futbol.
dijiste Argentine en vez de "argentinian", vos ya triunfaste en la vida capo, te mando un abzo👍🏻
gengeuse! que tonteria bajar a este nivel de discusion defendiendonos por un insulto en futbol. Acusan a Argentina los paises mas violentos, segregacionistas, y criminales de la historia, que se han dedicado al comercio de personas esclavizandolas, y te haces problemas dando excusas sobre estas tonterias de insultar, no gastes tu tiempo, no lo entenderan porque estan fanatizados, muchos resentidos y la mayoria hablando apenas por terceros con total ignorancia sobre la tematica, influidos por quienes los idiotizan con estos planteos absurdos. Saludos cordiales
Creo que el mejor pais para los gringos negros es Estados Unidos, Argentina tambien porque dise su presidente que son europeos estarian como en Estados Unidos, Brasil, donde comentan que hay mas negros que en Africa, Colombia, es normal la gente africana Ecuador, Peru, Canada, Cuba, Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama, Uruguay, Guayana, Belice, Etc. en todos estos paises estarian como en casa es normal la gente negra en otros paises no podrian estar porque no hay gente negra y los pueden discriminar.
Hay paises que estan libres de gente negra y creo que los pueden discriminar.
Here in South America, we are not racist at all. Unfortunatly,that is a fault of United States. Our skin can have the color that she wants... the difference is between bad people and good people. Have a nice trip.

Argentina no es racista , la mayoría de la gente son muy cordiales con los extranjeros
@Celeste-zti te dire mi punto de vista , el argentino puede decir miles de cosas pero en los hechos cuando charla no predomina el racismo . ejemplo 7 años trabaje en una empresa importante y cada tanto venian personas de eeuu y un par de veces me toco gringos que no respondian a mi saludo y tan mal no hablo ingles para que no me entendiesen . en cambio el argento dira yanqui de mierda etc... pero cuando un gringo te habla tratamos de responder , ayudarlo a llegar a destino . El argento tiene esa caracteristica de poner sobrenombres pero de ahi a que sea rasista hay un paso enorme
@Celeste-zti te aclaro que soy medio oscurito por eso calcule que los de eeuu no me respondian pero alla si hay racismo
A diferencia de USA los ciudadanos no anteponemos el origen etnico, en USA dicen afroamericano, hispanoamericano, italoamericano etc etc, aqui eres argentino simple y llano. Sin etiquetas. De hecho es el pais con mas inmigrantes de paises limítrofes. Y eso aporto mas diversidad.

the African Argentinian population did not dwindle away, after they built developed, and fought to free Argentina, the African population was thanked by, being systematically hoarded in concentration camps and murdered, the entire Argentinian African population, if you search your own popular history, there are lots of songs about the cleansing and murder of African Argentinians.
@@rascott2935 That is not true, the population of blacks in Argentina was always small, it was only significant in Buenos Aires and at that time it only had 50 thousand inhabitants, used as servants in the mansions. In the independence revolution every black slave who fought for the cause was granted freedom, even one of our greatest heroes of independence is black and we have a song about it more than 120 years ago, not like the racists of the north who did not allow using the same bathroom as people of color
@@demiannavarro6207 What actually happened to Black Argentineans is so disturbing and inhumane, it would be shocking that it wasn’t being taught in classrooms It is widely reported that president of Argentina from 1868 to 1874, Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, undertook a ‘covert genocide’ that wiped out the Afro-Argentinean population to the point that by 1875, there were so little Black people left in Argentina that the government didn’t even bother registering African-descendants in the national census.
Argentina’s main discrimination problem is not race, it’s class
Yes, but that happens in EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY. So Argentina is a very NORMAL, standard country.

El clasismo es, digamos, "normal" en tanto al rico le molesta que la cercanía de un pobre le rompa su burbuja estética, y al pobre le molesta los aires de superioridad del rico.

As an argentine I can tell you that there's no real racism in argentina, at least not towards african american, nothing compared to the US, not in a million years. There's though some kind of racism towards people with native traits :( but not that much... it depends on what part of the country are you visiting and who you talk to... and it's actually hard to explain... Of course there are racist people like everywhere else but it's not like if you visit poland where everyone will stare at you. Here people wont mind what you do and actually most people will be eager to help you with what you need. it's not a perfect country , not by far, but we have nice people....
Argentina never was racist, more even since the colonies we had laws that says everyone that borns here will be free, so the slave business never thrive like in USA or Brazil
Just be yourself and try to keep an open mind, and im pretty sure you will find more friendly curiosity than racism or rejection here. The videos about argentina being racist went too far spreading a lot of BS. Hope you enjoy.
Argentina never had a reputation for being racist, until in 2022 an article appeared in a newspaper saying that because there were no black players on the national soccer team. After that, saying that Argentina is racist began to be repeated as if it were true. Argentina is not only not racist, but it is the least racist country in the world for one simple reason, any Argentinian doesn't give a shit about someone's skin color, and I think that is the best definition of not being racist. I have also heard it said that Argentina has a history of racism, and that is also false. In Argentina there is no black population due to historical facts that were the opposite of racism, such as not being a British colony, which was the main slave-trading country, and that when they tried to do it in this country it was not popular. Slavery was not commercially successful in this country and that is why only 2% of black people came and much less than 1% to what is known today as Argentina. In Argentina, anyone in the world, of any race and any religion, can come and study in the best schools or universities for free, use the health system for free, work, etc. Honestly, that reputation that is being created for no real reason is offensive.

If Argentina not racist, How come black Argentinians complain about the racism in Argentina then?
@@PPHDocumentaries In Argentina several years ago, largely introduced by the educational system by government policies, it became cool to be a victim of the "system" in some way. I'm not just talking about recism. If you ask someone who is very thin, they will tell you that Argentine society has a phobia of thin bodies and that they feel discriminated against for their thinness and depression, therefore it is the fault of that society. If you talk to someone who is not skinny, they will tell you that they feel discriminated against because when they are not served in a restaurant or if they do not do well with women, it is because society discriminates against them. If you talk to a woman she will tell you that she is discriminated against for being a woman, if you talk to a man she feels discriminated against for being a man and the new feminist culture. You don't have to believe me, just ask any Argentinian if they feel discriminated against and those are the answers you will get. Yes, it is true that it is a classist culture. By this I mean that they do discriminate but based on educational level. If someone of any race, sex or size is well educated they are treated very well, unlike someone without the same. level of education. I repeat, regardless of race.

Actualmente, tenemos migraciones de todas partes del mundo y en mayoría Latinoaméricana.... la obsesión con los tonos de piel es meramente EEUU o europea, acá lo importante son las culturas y las personas.

These countries don’t think about race the same way as Americans do. I know it’s hard to understand as we are in the gringo bubble, but it’s true. Are there potentially racists in Argentina? Of course, as there is everywhere, including predominantly black countries. But I’d say the majority are just people trying to survive and pretty cool. If you treat them well and present yourself well there won’t be a problem 99 percent of the time. In terms of dating, I actually think being a black guy could potentially be an advantage, and not a disadvantage. You are exotic and unique there. There are a lot of very liberal, open white girls in Palermo and Buenos Aires that probably fantasize about dating black men
Some couple from Argentina was on the same train as me and I could tell the woman wanted me, she was staring so yes I agree. The dude looked straight up German but they spoke Spanish so I put two and two together. They like the clean cut look, more black men need to come with it. Strive for refinement.

I know its a bit foreign to most Americans (apart from NYC and Chicago) but Buenos Aires has pretty good Public Transportation network (Subway, Commuter Rail and Bus) Auston you gotta make use of it. Way cheaper and faster than driving everywhere as well
Apparently there is quite a bit of pickpocketing on El Subte tho...
Nice to see travel content that is wholly centered on dating and relationships. Buenos Aires looks like a beautiful city with great food and architecture. I think if more "passport bros" took this holistic approach to taking care of their appearance, getting to know an area, and talking to more people than just the first pretty face they see on the street they would enjoy themselves more and improve black men's reputation globally.
In Argentina we love that foreigners enjoy our country and culture, we are very happy to share this with them and make them part of it. We are very interested in learning about them and their culture regardless of skin color, religion, or country of origin. We can have problems when we feel that we are disrespected, but we are also flexible if we understand that that person, not being from our country, really did not mean to be rude.

At the end of the day it all boils down to your personal life experiences and your level of risk adverse. Someone like me I will definitely travel to Argentina despite other black people saying it’s a racist country, but I will not travel to certain other South American countries not because of racism, but because of the crime. Until I experience straight out in your face bold racism, I refuse to adapt a victim mentality, I will carry myself with dignity, and like Auston said, I will speak, dress, smell, and groom myself well.

Yeah that really does get annoying I’m with you. I’ve been to around 30 different countries and never once have I walked around looking for acceptance and to see who likes me or who doesn’t. Black Americans have a really bad habit of doing this. “Being black in Thailand” “Being black in Romania” this inferiority complex Bs has to stop. Just try to enjoy the country you are in, respect the locals meet some ladies and that’s it. Everyone isn’t going to like you no matter what country same as everyone doesn’t like you in America.
Ong fuk em we come from the most racist country 🤣
💯
If you live in america, then you would know where institutional racism comes from.
Jajajaja el taxista queriendo hacer quedar bien Buenos Aires, no es tan seguro como dice, de todas formas si escuché de la boca de otros extranjeros que es más seguros que otras ciudades que han visitado. Aún así, no bajes la guardia y estate siempre alerta, especialmente si vas filmando con una cámara por la calle, saludosssss❤
Si jaja, igual dijo algo que es verdad, de robos no es seguro buenos aires pero pasa que algunos le llaman inseguridad a los asesinatos y secuestros como en Estados Unidos, Colombia, Mexico, Centroamerica etcetera, aca es inseguro pero no hay tanto narcotrafico/organizaciones criminales o psicopatas como en esos paises, aca la inseguridad pasa por robos, peleas, hurtos
Justo este chico comparaba con Brasil que si es mas inseguro que CABA. En Argentina no me robaron nunca y en Rio no pasé ni un día y me chorearon la mochila😅😂
Hermano!! Eres bienvenido a Argentina!! No somos racistas!! No importa el color de piel, ni tu religión, solo si eres buena o mala persona. Si eres buena, te recibimos con los brazos abiertos!! No entiendo de donde salio tanto prejuicio sobre nosotros.. por cierto, tenes alta facha!! Abrazo grande y ojalá puedas conocer más de nuestro lindo País!! Saludos desde el interior de Argentina!!
Argentina never was racist...
Oh! Taht's my neighborhood. Let me tell you: we have racism like in any other country. But being black, it is possible that you will not suffer discrimination, because the black Argentine population is very small, so there is not even a racial stereotype around the black, as there is around the South American native. When the word "black" is used together with a pejorative adjective, it is usually directed at someone non-white, but rarely towards a black person. Even if you come across racist people, they are not going to be racist to you because they will see you as a tourist. Racist discrimination in Argentina always comes hand in hand with class discrimination. And at this point, your observation is very accurate: as long as you are well dressed and not dressed in rags, you will hardly be discriminated against.
Well, this is more accurate. Lo dije bien? Yo soy de Buenos Aires , pero no vivo en esos barrios chetos, vivo en Paternal... dónde el almacenero me dice "negrita"... aunque soy re blanca, con pecas, nieta de gallegos.
I always laugh at Auston giving his expert opinion on a country when he's been there no more than 2-3 days. Go on Auston tell us about racism and then get into the economy as well since your such an expert on everything. Your boy floyd got ran out after 2 days!
He can’t speak for all of our experiences, he needs to fall back. We’re quick to go at each other, but not the other.
the whole first 3 minutes was a shot at floyd
@@alexandermercado1144that's not a friend
@@africaine4889 i think auston was a good friend to floyd he tried to level him up, it just didnt take.
True, and you need to live in a country to understand it, a trip is a tourist flex and as a tourist you know only the surface.
Every country I have been to I have lived in, worked paid rent, and everything.
racism exists everywhere, but it operates differently depending where u are. Its impossible to say that all argentinians are racist like is also impossible to say that nobody is racist in Argentina. But i can tell u something, the racism that exists in Argentina, and other latinamerican countrys, it cames from a place of ignorance rather than a place of hate, like in the US
In the US there is more violence
Obviously you never lived in Argentina.
Te digo en Argentina hay muy poco racismo. Entiendo que es algo difícil de comprender para personas que se criaron en países con un pasado muy esclavista. El racismo era la justificación para esa actividad. En Argentina hay clasismo, hasta cierto punto, hay barreras entre personas con muy diferente grado de educación... Pero tampoco es extremo.
I am glad that you are enjoying your stay here, I want to tell you that I understand your situation, expecting every moment to encounter racism, but the truth is that Latinos, especially Argentines, are the most friendly people towards foreigners, and it is likely that you never find that racism you are looking for, the only way to find racism in Latin America is when there is a football game.
How does racism manifest itself at a football game?
@@sportsactuary8574football bring out the worst of Argentines and south americans in general
@@jesucristobostero3287THIS. Some act surprised football fans can be racist, but apparently they arent surprised there are no away fans in Argentina stadiums due fans LITERALLY KILLING each other. Those type of people you expect to be decent human beings? Pff.
LOVE from Spain to persons like you, with personality and clear ideas. LOVE to the black comunity too!!!
welcome to our country, we are not racist just stereotypical things that people and television installed in peoples mind, of course there allways are some stupid people that act that way but i think in every country you will find them.
Muchas gracias a todos por hablar tan bien de mi país 💙
The music was perfect
I miss Kevin Samuels. He talked about presentation all the time when it came to black men.
Everything Auston mentioned in the beginning is very true. Every person has a bias. I knew people like Floyd growing up. Self Awareness is key. As a man, you must develop yourself. Internally first, then outwardly. Your dress, speech, intelligence and confidence. People, especially women, is attracted to confidence especially if you are well dressed. Swiping & Tinder isn’t real, it is only a introduction. How you show up is important. Based on the videos, Floyd thinks he just needs to show up. Ah no… He needs to put the work in to get the results he is looking for.
He's obviously got internal problems that he's not looking to fix either. Self confidence for one.
@@nathancasey7712 I believe you are partially correct. He compensates the lack of confidence with over aggressive approaches. The “cold approach” only works if the woman provides an opportunity. If you are looking scrubby women won’t provide an opening. Additionally it is probably the reason why he was hemmed up at the airport. I don’t think he realized that the airport personally profile people based on how they look. If they look De shelved, they will pull you aside
@@nathancasey7712 floyd is austic
Stop using a CC. You are over paying by 50% get cash. Use the unofficial rate. Do your homework on the currency. There is a black market of which everyone goes by. Credit Cards is a no no...
One thing I have to say the editing of this video is done very well they’re getting better and better. Do you do your own editing?
Thank you! Yes
Como argentino admito que no hay mucho racismo hacia las personas de tes oscura pero en cuanto a ciudadanos de paises limitrofes si que hay mucho racismo. Saludos Auston, ojala esta realidad pueda mejorar de alguna vez por todas.
Si, pero no es por el color de piel. A veces tienen comportamiento que se apartan de lo que una persona normal haría.
Auston is what? 25? He gets it, appearance is EVERYTHING .Carry on young brother
. Safe travels
Hi Austin! I live in the same neighborhood where you stayed. I walk my dogs three times a day and was actually checking to see if I showed up in your video! 😅
Saludos de Argentina 🇦🇷
Thank you very much for your insight and perspective. 🙏🏿
Bienvenido y espero que la estés pasando genial!!
Si sos negro y vienes de EEUU vas a ser valorados por dos motivos, uno porque los negros son muy pocos y dos por que la cultura "Americana" es apreciada.
No por todos pero sí
Será apreciada por vos. Y americanos somos todos. Habrías querido decir "la cultura yanqui o norteamericana"
@@flacosolazzi6250 No tiene importancia si yo lo aprecio o no.
@@arielbangher No hables por los argentinos, xq vos sos 1 nada más; vos escribiste arrogándote la representatividad de los 47 millones de argentinos; y no pensamos todos así como vos expresaste.
@@flacosolazzi6250 Yo hablo como quiero. gil.
W Auston, Good representation to the world.
I love your attitude in life!
And welcome to Argentina!
This was a complete waste of time 😊
You seemed to spend all your time either in shopping malls or in gym 😂
There was no serious attempt to understand local culture.
Buenos Aires is home of Tango 😅😅
Passport Gentlemen. World class citizens. beautiful city
💯
Now Passport Gentlemen is a much better connotation and word to use than PassPort Bros .
It makes people think hmmm gentleman, with passports. Which means that you say you have good standards. By and large.
I could even say I'm a passport gentleman perhaps
