Stereotypes of Argentines

Stereotypes of Argentines are generalizations about Argentines that do not reflect reality. Stereotypes associated with Argentines vary from country to country depending on the prevalent stereotype in each culture.[1][2]

In Brazil, Chile and Uruguay, Argentines are stereotyped as arrogant, proud, narcissistic and racist.[3][4][5][6] To this Argentines are also known for being gossipy, full of grandeur, liars (chantas), envious, quick and exaggerated in Uruguay.[7] In addition to the above, Argentines have also been labeled as lazy, vain, and pedantic, but also kind and carefree, in scientific polls.[8]

In Spain and other South American countries such as Colombia, Paraguay and Peru, Argentines are stereotyped as passionate –though somewhat coarse– as well as noble, honest, and kind.[9]
