Argentinians are to Latin America as what the French are to many countries...snooty, full of themselves, and with a superiority complex.
It's the landing place of many Germans and Italians after WW2. I've met a few of them, most are good people. However, they do have a higher percentage of blowhards than any other country from the Americas in my experience.
I'm not a hu-ge fan of the Spaniards (conquistadores) either, but they are the lesser of 2 evils at this time for me. I don't want to imagine Argentinians with back-to-back World Cup championships.
I had an Argentinian boss once. Didn't like that I went by "Mick" so he referred to me as "Michael"...as did all of his direct reports and others in the firm. So thereafter, I was known as "Michael" for the few years that I worked at that firm. Never had the huevos to insist that a subordinate change his name, but...Argentinians.
