Argentine Culture Quotes
In 1900 Argentina was the 4th richest country in the world and had a gross domestic product about the same size as the United States. Misgovernment, ego, delusion, and corruption have impeded their progress since. However, Argentina has had the largest proportion of European ancestry citizens in Latin America. Prejudice being what it was, the European ancestry Latinos perceived themselves better than the descendants of the native Indians or Black slaves. So Argentinians even to this day tend to see themselves as superior to the other Latin nations. And at one point they were amongst the richest countries. Bolivia, in contrast, has the highest proportion of indigenous people and they most of all resent the Argentine attitude of superiority.
