    Argentina and Brazil are colonial entities? Please elaborate, haven’t heard before.

    Edit: How the hell do people deal with Israel given its Samson option??

        Ah so the people there are still ethnically brazillian/argentinian right? i.e. the people are indigenous themselves, just not the rulers? or are the majority of people of european descent too?

          Brazil

          Majority of people are either pardo (mixed white/black/indigenous) or white indigenous population is less than 1%). First mixed race president was in 1909.

          Argentina

          80ish% European descent 16% indigenous

          Also it’s worth pointing out that both countries speak European languages and are majority Catholic.

            Yeah hadn’t realized the spanish/portuguese thing, assumed indigenous folk spoke it but I realize it’s usually some different native thing.
