Argentina
Argentina is a very large country on the southeast of South America, running from the polar south to the tropical north. The population is very European in ancestry, with roughly half being pure-European in background, and another large section being mostly European in background.
It has a large Arab population (9±%), but which is intermarried and assimilated into the country’s larger demographic This is because it is heavily Maronite (Catholic) Lebanese who assimilate well.
Interestingly, Argentina has around 180,000 Jews – the seventh largest Jewish population in the world – and they can be politically active.

Ad for Arab Dancer Shows
The dancing may be Arabic, but that music sounds half-Celtic, like a Gaelic dirge.
The dancers seem to be performing at a trendy club in downtown Buenos Aires not to far from the Casa Rosada (Argentina’s White House)
They will be performing at Club Montserrat on Saturday, June 29th. It is an upscale neighborhood. Check it out. Tell them Latin Arabia send you. Latin Arabia me envia.
