Obviously, you really don't know Argentina. Immigrants came to Argentina through the Capital but they spread out everywhere in the country. Majority of all the Provinces and Cities of Argentina are predominantly White and have a strong connection to their Immigrant past. Why is the biggest celebrations of Argentina's Immigration past are outside Buenos Aires, Oberá and Rosario, Santa Fe? There is more beyond Buenos Aires.

The census may say that 95% are white (later I'll check in the INDEC index) but it's still a case of hyperdescent. Anecdotically, I have a totally kolla-like friend that aim's to be criollo because he has an spanish grand grand grandfather. Argentina's myth of being the "Sudamerican White Country" is totally supported by all mixed people, that claim to be white. Nattelsker (talk) 18:55, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

But the majority of Argentines are not descendants of the Criollos, Spaniards who lived in Argentina during the colonial times. Argentines are descendants of immigrants who came during the post-Independence immigration wave. That Immigration wave changed Argentina demographically and that is why it is a White majority nation. So it is not a myth, like you claim. My mother is Argentinian, and her family can trace their roots back to Italy. My mother is not a Criollo, but she is White.
