You checked completely wrong. I've been there, twice. Do a little research. Go to an Argentine Church or community event and see for yourself, remembering that they can't get away with many things outside their country. Talk to their non-Uruguaso neighbors about their weird racial attitudes because most are either of Spanish, Italian, German, Slavic, French or even British origin with little or no non-European blood. The indigenous population was wiped out so that their robbed property could be doled out to White folks from Northern Europe. At least watch an Argentine film or TV show to overcome your ill-informed idea about how "pale" most of them are. Or have a close look at the team photo in the Argentina Fan thread.
Also, Argentina was a member of Hitler's Axis and a haven for Nazi war criminals who loved the place as their new home because of its "racial purity". Reality bites!
