Multiple racist incidents by Argentine tourists in Brazil spark debate on national identity
A 7-year-old boy was filmed by an Argentine tourist on a train in Brazil with racist captions, sparking renewed debate on race relations in Latin America. The incident is the latest in a series of racist acts by Argentine tourists in Brazil, prompting scrutiny of Argentina's self-image of European descent. Activists say racism is embedded in Argentina's national identity, as exemplified by its constitution promoting European immigration and its vote against a UN resolution on the slave trade.
