Italians look like Argentinians so how are we different races?

Question

This is so stupid because it bases race on social construct. Look at the average Italian and the average Argentinian and they look almost the same and many people there are from Italian immigrants.

Answer 1

all i can say, race isnt based on looks,,,, and yes nowdays, with immigration and intermingling, many have several races in them,,,
ps: this subject came up the other day, many dont think of italians as being in the "white" race, i dont even know what race they classify theirselves

Answer 2

Argentina, like other countries in the Americas: the U.S.A, Canada, Chile... etc. is a country made up mostly of immigrants. Therefore, you can't talk about an Argentinian "race", or one single Argentinian ethnic group. More than fifty percent of the Argentine population are the descendants of Italian immigrants, so it is not surprising if the Argentines you know look like Italians or have Italian surnames.

Answer 3

this question is humorous, because some Hispanics ARE Italian. The time period Hispanic is used to comprise any people from Spanish speaking international places, and some international places in South u.s., have a good number of Italians. in truth, Argentina has between the biggest populations of Italians outdoors of Italy. the way they communicate Spanish is even diverse. I knew a kinfolk from Argentina, and also you does not recognize the version, because they're of Italian heritage. not all Hispanics look alike. That %you printed is of Mexicans that look organic community Aztec or Mayan, little or no Spanish blood. some Mexicans are lighter, highly up north the position some Germans settled after WWII. some Hispanics are black, like contained in the Caribbean. So the time period Hispanic isn't a particular look, yet a language and lifestyle.

Answer 4

yeah look at the average Argentinian and the average Brazilian, or even the average Spaniard. They are all of Latin descent, but its more from Spanish immigrants than Italians. Spanish colonized the new world, and now South Americans look like the Spanish, not Italians. Italians failed during the age of discovery and into the age of imperialism. Argentinians look like the Spanish

Answer 5

Yeah you are right that there is no real true blood national, except for some isolated community living in some remote mountain range or tropical rain forest not disturbed by mankind. However national identity is part of social construction and what makes a society work. If people don't work together as a society/country, then you will be left with only anarchy!

Answer 6

Biological race is the same as sub-species. There are no genetic sub-species in homo-sapiens.
Race based on skin color or hair texture is one of the dumbest things people have ever come up with.
In reality we are all simply in the Rat Race.
