Argentinians do not call themselves europeans, the thing is that northamericans always think of latinos as if all of them were caribbean, brown, party animal people. Latinamerica is too big to generalize in such a way, we share some things but it´s very diverse at the same time.

[TheSkycielito]

We dont have a problem being called latinos we are not europeans, we are descendants of europeans. a lot of people are usually third generation

[sasasetti]

My boyfriend once said he didn't enjoy alfajores in front of my family saying they were too dry. You could have heard a pin drop. ”Impossible" they said ”you must have tried the wrong kind."

[ncerdan]

I'm Argentinian, I laughed so hard... this video is accurate as shit except the whole european thing, we don't have a problem being called latinos, or at least anyone that i know doesn't have that problem!

el pibe revolviendo el mate hasta que la amiga le dice IT'S NOT A CAKE same amiga

[guilleleone]

Im Argentinian and i dont consider myself "European", im proudly latino.

[chiaraf]

‘If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends’ has never been so real

[sr.cthulhu]

Nah, Im from Argentina and I never knew about someone saying that is more european than latino.
We proudly say that we are Argentinians though

I work in a restaurant and an Argentine family came in and my coworker said to them “wow Italian and Spanish sound so similar” and the Argentine mom said “what do you mean?” And my coworker said “well you’re speaking Italian and it sounds Spanish “ and the Argentine lady was like no I’m not speaking Italian, I am Argentine not Italian.

[davidjoura]

He got tequila because they think Latin America is just Mexico LOL, and that we all speak "Mexican" like if Mexican was a language. Regueton and Salsa are Caribbean.

My Argentinian heart hurt when he moved the straw of the mate 💔

Being an Argentine that moved to the USA, I can definitely say that we go through an identity crisis when we get here. The meaning of the word "latino" in Argentina has a different meaning as to what is perceived here. Mainly because here is very generalized. You have to remember, when a city or a business or any entity here in the US tries to create a "Latino week" event, their marketing team immediately comes up with things like enchiladas, sombreros, mariachi music, tamales. These four examples are generalizations of people who live just south of the border, and Latin America is way more diverse than that.

So just like many people on this channel say that they never heard Argentineans say they are not Latinos maybe its because many of these people live in Argentina, as opposed to me living here in US and when I meet people and they find out I'm from Argentina, many of them say "How come Argentineans don't see themselves as Latinos and feel more Europeans?" That's a true fact because well, it's what I've experienced.

As an argentinian i have to say that this is unfair lol
We do like to dance, and we usually dance reggeaton and cumbia or whatever its trendy at the boliche (disco)
Yes, we sometimes play the "hot n cold" game but we do it because if not, you are perceived as an easy woman.Sadly.
We don't see ourselves as europeans, or at least no one i've known says that.
Yes maybe we have temper, if we want to be respected we have to. But we're not mean.
And the mate part and dulce de leche is true. That's something all argentinians are proud of. Our food and culture.

[hernanmarcos]

First, the "european not latino" is just a stereotype, more related to 15 years old boys in countryballs and meme pages. We do consider ourselves part of Latin America, but we don't fit in the american cliché of "tropical music and spicy food". Latin America is very diverse too

Second, the snacks are very sweet because the mate is very bitter, that's the best way to savor a sweet eat, after drinking something very bitter, that's an epicurean rule.

Final, yes, if you date an argentine, prepare yourself for lots of mind games, after 6 month of dating you will be tired as fuck that you will seek anything but the mental peace of being alone jajaja

[FullMetalPier]

I'm an Italian which is proud to have relatives in La Plata which still love and preserve their Trentino roots. <3

I lived in Buenos Aires last summer, and I made some many friends there. Argentinians are super friendly, open, and sexy. They consider themselves Latinos and they love reggaeton. As a Brazilian, I didn’t think of myself as Latina or liked reggaeton before going there. However, mis hermanos changed my mind, and now I see myself as Latina too. Argentinians are professionals in hot and cold playing; ditching your date is common there. They are little melancholic but welcoming at the same time. They loved to joke about our soccer rivalry. Anyways... I miss those boludos a lot. Pls, do a dating an Argentinian man.

[LaBucci]

As most people have mentioned a vast majority of Argentinians actually consider themselves Latinos

[NilsMontanEsq]

I am an American man married to a Brazilian Woman and living in Curitiba. Sometimes the Brazilians and the Argentinians claim they don't get along and don't like each other, blah, blah, blah, blah. We spent a month in Argentina recently, BA, Patagonia, and the wine region around Mendoza, and the people are super nice and friendly to us. By the way, the women are beautiful!

So dating Argentinian girls is like dating Italian girls except the craziness is dialed up to 11? Cool. *Looks up Buenos Aires hotels*
