Talk:Afro-Argentines

message: Isn't this article a little bit ridiculous concerning African diaspora in Argentina that doesn't exist?  I've been to Argentina three times and I haven't met a native Argentine black yet.  The few I have encountered were businessman from Brazil or other South American countries.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.55.113.97 (talk) 23:52, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: In fact, I checked the articles of the people listed as Afro Argentinians here and most of them look White to me. But the whole article is OR. To have a good article you would need to find real neutral sources (they may be in Spanish, by the way) to prove what is said here about genetic diversity in Argentina, the disproportionate number of black males killed during the 19th century wars, the black influence on the tango (all of which I recognize is probably true, unlike the "sinister" bit). --Paul Pieniezny (talk) 12:39, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

text: Yes, this article needs a good clean-up. It would also be nice to know what was translated. If only to know what to throw away.--Paul Pieniezny (talk) 12:39, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

text: "if only to get to the truth about what happened to he black population of Argentina". Er, that is basically screaming to call this article OR and POV. In fact, the apparent subject of this article is clearly notable (Blacks in Argentina's history, and their influence on its culture) - so this article should not be deleted. But it must be cleaned up, OR and POV must be got rid of. That is quite a task, probably. It would be nice to have sources.--Paul Pieniezny (talk) 12:39, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Some people want to erase the African community in Argentina by denying it's very existence. Racial identity is also a very complex thing, especially when people are of mixed heritage. No ones heritage should be denied just because they are mixed.

message: I've translated the Afro-Argentine poems from the versions on the Spanish wiki. I included the racial slur "wop" as a translation of "bachicha", an offensive Argentine word meaning "Italian". Please don't revert for reasons of offense "wikipedia is not censored" etc.

replies: text: Thank you for responding. You do not believe the  International business times article , which is what this blog post refers to, is reliable.  If you could refer or quote another source that states this is a fringe statement, that would be helpful.  I do ackowledge that this is stated as “an allegation”.  And as an “allegation”, it should only be included if it is made by a person who is known and credible.  Work permit (talk) 11:22, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

text: Just to emphasize my point.  I don’t think “allegations” made by nameless parties should be included in an article.  At best, an “allegation” should only be included if it is by a credile party and has received some scrutiny.  I don’t beleive the citations in this article about genocide meet that threshold.

thread_title:  Covert genocide through oppressive policies 

message: I've cut the following text from the article:
"These arguments were made only on the basis of conjecture, but since the 20th century they have been permanently disclosed in Argentina by the educational system and media (still today) due to the lack of emphasis on the study of the subject and as a method to invisibilize non-white population that lasted in the country to the present day (although blacks became a small percentage of the Argentine population after the end of the 19th century, amerindians continued to be an important minority that, since before the mid-20th century, grew -and continues to do so- due to the new wave of immigration from South American countries), which served so that, in the social imaginary, the Argentine identity is based solely on the white population, especially those descended from European immigrants."
Several issues here.  It's an incredibly long and hard to follow run-on sentence, and I've read through it several times but still am not quite sure as to its intended meaning.  The author may have also used different words than those with their actual intended meaning.  Moreover, the paragraph above it and the one below it seem to flow together quite seamlessly and well, so I think the section is likely better off without it.  If someone wants to though, they can try to make better sense of the text I cut, thoroughly rework/rewrite it, and add it back in somewhere. -2003:CA:8748:5CAE:2997:5816:3A8C:1356 (talk) 09:34, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
