ethnocentric attitude in Buenos Aires

• One should distinguish between the various socio-economic classes, ethnic groups and places in argentina.
  
  Please don't generalize. It is true that traditionally, Buenos Aires is mostly caucasian and pscale and identify more with their euopean roots or hollywood than with the other 99% of the country or latin-america in general.
  
  I believe Buenos Aires is slowly changing with the economy and inmigration, but has a long ways to go to be truely cosmopolitan and multi-ethnic. Unfortunately, the peruvians are treated like 2nd class citizens - really a shame, since they are mostly ideal inmigrants
  
  The rest of the country is more normal in this regard.

Arrogant or racist Argentinians?
