Argentinian, White in Mexico

Introduction / History

In each Latin American country, including Argentina, some intermarried between the European colonizers and the indigenous peoples. Their children were called mestizos, and culturally they could be European, Indigenous, or somewhere in between.

Some Europeans remained separate from the indigenous peoples. They might identify with their country, while a small minority identify with Spain. Argentina is a Latin American country with a high percentage of White people, since there were not many indigenous peoples in this part of the Americas when the Spanish arrived.

Most live in Argentina, but there is a sizable diaspora in the United States and Spain. Others live in Mexico, Uruguay, Denmark, Italy, or France.

Though there is only a small number of Argentines in Mexico, they have been there since 1895. They come and go depending on the state of Argentina s economy. White Argentinians are most likely to be found in Mexico City.

What Are Their Lives Like?

White Argentinians have a presence in Mexico s television and music industries. They have excelled in sports.

In general, Whites in Latin America have higher-paying jobs and more status than the indigenous peoples. This isn t always the case; some have low-paying jobs or they are unemployed. Whites are more likely to have educational opportunities than their indigenous counterparts.

What Are Their Beliefs?

White Argentinians in Mexico are usually Roman Catholic, but they also have a strong Evangelical minority.

What Are Their Needs?

They need revival fire to bless their churches, families, and neighborhoods.
