    Pardon my french, but you kinda sound like a xenophobic dick. We don’t deserve the country to fail, no one does. Also, Argentina’s been “far right” for decades? What? I don’t know what you’re smoking but it’s making you pretty delusional xD

    I’ve read this “donkey meat” news story several times now on Lemmy and I hate to disappoint you but no, no one is eating “donkey meat” here. I’ve never seen or heard of anyone eating that in my entire life. Everyone I know is eating meat (cow or pig meat btw haha) throughout the week and an asado on the weekend.

    Milei’s a dumbass though, and I hope we can get rid of him asap. He’s done a lot of harm to the country.

    argentinans think they’re European

    What does this even mean?

      Im an indigenous Latino, wanna talk about xenophobia? Argentinans are masters at it. They look down at EVERYONE

      And how is it xenophobic to point out they elect morons and far right trash? Thats just fact. Thats like saying im xenophobic cause I hate trump

      Ps. I know a bunch of Argentinans and they insist they are of European bloor, Spaniards and Italians. They are offended if you lump them in with other Latinos. They think Latinos are garabage, they no joke say they’re white

        “Indigenous latino” is so damn broad that I have literally no idea what you’re referring to, exactly.

        wanna talk about xenophobia? Argentinans are masters at it

        Seems like you either encountered some shitty people (believe me, you can find those in any country) or you’re just a rather unpleasant person that mistook being treated as such, for xenophobia. From where I’m standing, both seem entirely plausible.

        And how is it xenophobic to point out they elect morons and far right trash? Thats just fact.

        Firstly, who from the previous governments in the past decades was democraticatically elected and was “far right”? Second, show me a country that hasn’t elected at least a few shitty presidents in the past few decades. I’ll wait.

        Thats like saying im xenophobic cause I hate trump

        You might want to revisit the definition of the word.

        Ps. I know a bunch of Argentinans and they insist they are of European bloor, Spaniards and Italians.

        Well, my great-grandparents where german and spanish and tons of friends’ grandparents are first generation european immigrants. There’s a reason why so many people in Argentina have european passports. I couldn’t care less about that. Why does that bother you though?

        They are offended if you lump them in with other Latinos. They think Latinos are garabage, they no joke say they’re white

        Who cares if they’re offended? Like I said, shitty people are everywhere. And why does it bother you that some argentinians are white? I’ve been spoken to as if I were a local in Italy, spain, germany, austria and france. If they’re “white” then I guess so am I? That doesn’t mean I identify as european. I am and will always be produdly argentinian.

        You sound like you have some issues dude. See a therapist, it might help.

      This is usually the case. There seems to be a nugget of truth in it, but articles always make it seem larger than life. Horse mule and donkey meat consumption is in fact up. Is it significant - no. Is it common, also no. Is it a THING? Na, no it’s not a thing. It’s simply slightly higher than it was before but still very rare.

      It doesn’t make sense for it to be a common thing as there simply is not enough donkeys in the country, even if you were to slaughter them all for it is be common. Apparently there is 59k donkeys and 50,920,790 cows in Argentina. There seems to be a 7-16% increase in the slaughter of donkeys for meat although this number seems to be in question. It apparently is a third the cost of cow meat.

        Please, show me a single real world example where “donkey meat” is being sold or consumed. I’m not speaking about something I researched online. I live in Argentina and have travelled to many different cities there as well.
