Oh shit, I may really be eating my words. Can you be more specific with the location?

I think there is a new Argentine restaurant on Wyckoff between Dekalb and Myrtle. It looked nice and spiffy but I haven’t eaten there yet.

Che Gueverra was from fucking Argentina. Yuck. I knew a Argentine who couldn’t stop badmouthing America, while smoking Marb reds and drinking Coca-Cola. He was more of a comedy sketch than a person though.

“First – It’s Argentines.”

It’s both. I usually prefer -ean. Less awkward.

Otherwise, agree with the rest of your comment :-D

First – It’s Argentines.

Second – The Spanish are white. Spanish comes from white people.

Third – Only a country that allowed countless Nazi war criminals to live out their lives on some fucking beach and speak Spanish like it’s Italian would truly fit in the egocentric bullshit hood of Billyburg. Welcome!

I have been mauling over this very same question for a little over a yr now, I work in retail in WBurg so I noticed the whites speaking Spanish, once I realized that I decided that either way you look at it we are screwed because they are either Hispanic gringos with money or Anglo’s with trust funds. Pick your poison.

Then it has come full circle. About 20 years ago there were quite a few Uruguayans and Argentineans. Look hard enough and you might still find one or two. They used to have their own social club on the corner of Willoughby and St. Nicholas(there is a bodega there now). My how time have changed.
