[edit]

The following is more-or-less OK but is not terribly well-written, and in parts it looks like original research:

During the 20th century encyclopedias customarily quoted a variation of the 95 % European - 5 % non-European statistics to define Argentinian population, while a ostensibly European look defined middle-class culture in Argentina.

At the onset of the 21st century, although these statistics are still often widely quoted, a consensus is growing that allows for the significant growth of the non-European element (a recent statistic puts it at 50 %), product both of mass migration from neighbouring countries such as Bolivia (above the million mark) and the biological growth of that element inside Argentina, altering significatively thus the traditional demographics. The change is acknowledged locally only with difficulty, but quickly perceived by foreigners.

As it happened in South Africa, today a large vocal majority product of European immigration imposes its worldview on another significant majority not nearly as well represented in national culture as the former.

I removed it from the article along with other questionable or at least unproven claims. It's an interesting analysis but it needs a reliable source. —Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 22:15, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

immigrants' day

[edit]

Since there will have been more than one immigrant, the apostrophe should surely come at the end. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.134.9.64 (talk) 16:38, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just what I was going to say - the Spanish version is "Día de los Inmigrantes". The incorrect version made it onto "On this day" on the main page too. AndrewWTaylor (talk) 22:52, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I take it back (perhaps) - this official-looking page calls it 'Día del Inmigrante' (day of the immigrant). AndrewWTaylor (talk) 22:55, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Syria/Lebanon and non-European immigration

[edit]

This article ignores all non-European immigration. From memory, after Italy and Spain, the third and fourth largest contingents came from Libanon and Syria. 193.132.242.1 (talk) 14:07, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Quite. Why is the fact that Syria and Lebanon were the 3rd major source of immigration after Italy and Spain[1] ignored? Codik (talk) 16:39, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okinawans

[edit]

I gather that in Argentina, as in Peru, Brazil, and other parts of Latin America, a major proportion of Japanese immigrants were Okinawan, not ethnic Japanese. As the Okinawans come from a different ethnic and cultural background, and to some extent perhaps a different set of reasons for seeking to settle overseas, it would be interesting to see them addressed in this article. What percentage of Argentinians of Japanese descent today are of Okinawan descent? Thanks. LordAmeth (talk) 22:52, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have been to Argentine so many times but I never seen a East Asian.In Peru you see alot of east asians.We also have the Japanese Peruvian center and the Japanese hospital.Japanese born in Peru are call Nekkei.Fujimori was a japanese peruvian. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cientifica1 (talk • contribs) 04:19, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The only citation in this section is for the table, and that source is a picture from a newspaper article. None of the claims such as "According to official data, between 1992 and 2003 an average 13,187 people per year immigrated legally in Argentina. The government calculates that 504,000 people entered the country during the same period, giving about 345,000 undocumented immigrants. The same source gives a plausible total figure of 750,000 undocumented immigrants currently residing in Argentina." What source is the author referring to? A citation would be appreciated.

Additionally, some of the language seems to mirror opinion, not fact. For example, "Despite the economic and financial crisis Argentina suffered at the turn of the millennium, people from all over the world continued arriving to the country, because of their immigration-friendly policy and other reasons." Immigration-friendly policy and other reasons does not tell much about what is really going on. Once again, substantiation would be greatly appreciated here.

Country of birth table

[edit]

Why is Venezuela in the table twice? Brownhorse0 (talk) 01:57, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your vigilance, Brownhorse0. It took me a while to get to this query, but I've addressed it. A second instance was introduced to the table by an IP contributor without reliably sources, but it seems to have been a good faith error. The erroneous entry has now been removed.
