Would a black American tourist feel unwelcome in Argentina?

I don't think you would feel unwelcomed at all! It's true that a majority of argentineans are of white european descent (mostly italian and spanish) but they are also mostly warm and welcoming towards tourists and foreigners, no matter what their race. Plus, Argentina is open towards the world, why would anyone stare at you because of your race? They might stare if you wear soemthing very unusual, have blue or green head, or lots of piercings in the face. They'd stare because this is something still very, very unusual to see. But those stares would also be in a very curious sense, not negative or disapproving.

I hope you don't let Argentina out of your trip, you'd miss a beautiful country. Hope you have a great trip!

NOT AT ALL!! feel free to visit my country you will not be discriminated against. while it is true that there no blacks here, we don't pass judgment on people because of their skin color. In fact, we, Argentinians, find blacks even attractive and sexy!. Feel welcome in Argentine, dont miss the chance to visit the most amazing south american country!

I've lived in Chile for a while and there are very few black people in the entire country yet I can tell you that if you're a "good traveler", you won't have any problem that anyone else of any color would have. As far as Argentina is concerned, it has a much greater variety of people and it's an amazing country. You should go. I think you'll love it.
Of course, you'll feel the most welcome in Brazil. Hope I helped a little.

I lived in Argentina for a couple years, and I doubt you would be unwelcomed. It is true that it is mostly white, so you might get looked at, even stared at sometimes. But it will only be out of curiosity. Most of them have never seen black people, so of course they will be very interested in you. People of Argentina are very friendlly; proud but friendly. Dont miss the opportunity to see the country and experience its culture, you wont regret it!

A few years ago I worked at an international company who used to receive visitors from the US, most of them were black, and they all used to tell me all the time that enjoyed being in Argentina a lot!.
It is true that most of argentinians are white, since the majority of our background is european, mainly spanish and italian, with mixes of german and polish people. But the truth is that the kind of discrimination that exists in the US, does certainly not exist in Argentina at all. Argentinians were not raised in discriminating cultures, since most of the population has the same origins. Trust me, you would not feel discriminated, and argentinians love tourists and are really nice people. Have fun and enjoy it. Argentina is a country worth visiting!
