In my opinion, yes

• I am not Argentinian but have friends from South America. Remember Argentina's culture: Mostly European background (of Caucasian persuasion), many of whom immigrated there in the early part of the century. This little item is what attracted the Nazis to Argentina. The continental neighbors of Argentina are either of Indian or African descent (Brazil). I don't have to tell you that the American majority does not have a monopoly on racism. The "R" word is everywhere, even in tango-loving Argentina. Those folks think of themselves more as European and have a lesser connection to their geographical roots. Are they snooty? In my opinion, yes.

Arrogant or racist Argentinians?
