Hello! Today we talk about the worldwide online hate for Argentina, the World Cup as politics in the online age, the new senate hopeful from Maine who might just be a better version of Graham Platner, especially for the general, and then we break our rule (once) and talk a bit about college professors.
I am so disappointed about comments about Argentina. What is the basis for all the things that you were saying? I encourage you to learn more before making broad generalizations. Please, get informed, visit the place, speak with people from different backgrounds—not just one "German-Argentinian"—and avoid portraying an entire nation in such a negative light. Would you judge the English based on the hooligans?
I hope you get curious about the country where I was born, it is not perfect of course, but it is not racist as a whole, although some people are of course. Ironically, people are very mixed because there was not segregation. Did you know that Argentina has free public education and health access for foreign people?
I am alarmed with the fact that in a week an entire country has been vilified on social media.
What is next? Old people? Koreans? Sick people? Babyboomers?
Please seek out reliable, well-researched sources and speak with historians or experts who understand South American history and the US involvement in some of the darkest periods of its history.
One thing is to discuss casually, another to contribute to harmful stereotypes.
