Xenophobia is (unnecessarily) alive

I'm from Argentina, honestly I had read a lot of comments "joking" about Argentinians and honestly it's funny, at some point. I have seen a few people generalizing whole countries like it's just one person, why are they condening a whole country over a few stupid internet people? not because someone said you're a dumbass means the whole country thinks you're a dumbass. They don't even know you to start with. I've read about SOME people saying that "Argentinians thinks this about Chileans and that about Mexicans"Β  "Argentinians think they're superior" "Argentinians hate Brazilians"Β  also spreading rumours about us "normalizing" drugs, just because of how a tea (drug free btw) is made. And it's getting tiring, because I can't be friends with anyone online without them expecting me to be like that, I also got blocked hundreds of times only for being from my country.

If you say that generalizing, of course a few other people will start hating a whole country over something you and me wouldn't even say or feel, it's not fair.

I love everyone and I had always been respectful IRL and also online, with all people. No matter who they are or where they're from. Like I'm sorry you had a bad experience with Argentinians online, but that doesn't mean I'm going to be even more disrespectful than them.

Be respectful with all people. Not because you've seen a bad comment means the whole country thinks that about you and hates you. We're all different, we all dress different, we all think different, and that's what's fun on us people.
