Although there are influences in food, music, etc... they are not purely European...  Come on! salsa, merengue &amp; samba of European roots?? yeah right, like shaking da booty were European!  Their culture is not 3rd world, it's a broad term, maybe some regions of Argentina, Chile, south Brasil, and some isolated neighborhoods around mongrel-america are white and may look like europe, but the reality is that most of the region is a dirty 3rd world hell hole! have you ever been to mongrel-america? or are you just buying what some whites type 3) &amp; 4) living in the US tell you? Not exactly European, completely American(continental not the US) but created by Whites. Latin America has it's own flavor, just like the States do. Our music is descended from European styles but something completely new, it's evolution, music evolves just like people. Different European cultures like Irish, Spanish, German, French and Polish mix together and create new styles, descended from Europe but completely unique to the Americas.    Merengue music was invented by a 100% Spanish blooded White guy from the Dominican Republic, back in the days when there were still tons of White people in that country, before it became mostly mongrelized. Also in those days there was a sizeable German population in the DR and they contributed alot to merengue, which is why merengue musicians use German instruments like the accordian. Merengue was created by Europeans in the Dominican Republic, nothing Black about it. Even former dictator Rafael Trujillo used to promote the stuff in the DR and he was a total ni**er hater he was responsible for the massacre of thousands and thousands of Blacks, and had an open doors policy for all White immigrants because he wanted to Whiten the DR. If he even promoted the stuff as the DR's national music you know it's not Black lol...    Salsa and mambo are both Caribbean born descendents of traditional Spanish folk music like the contradanse, flamenco, bolero, etc.... Calypso is descended from music of the French troubadours there's a book written about it and everything, mariachi music was created by White Spaniards in Mexico, Mexican Banda music was created when the Mexicans ripped off polka music from the Germans in south Texas which is why it sounds like polka, because it is... Habanera, bachata, Cuban Son music, etc...It's all Latin American born music descended from and influenced by traditional Spanish and French music. It's the same case all over Latin America. Samba...it's supposedly a combination of Portuguese music and Black rhythm, but Blacks think all rhythm is from sub saharan Africa, not true. For cripes sake even the bongo drums were created by the ancient Egyptians and filtered down to the jungle bunnies. Argentian Tango is purely 100% White originated, even the Blacks don't try to claim any credit what so ever for that one......      Been to mestizo Mexico, all over, most of it was definately third world. But around Jalisco it wasn't so bad. Been to Puerto Rico, I wouldn't say PR is third world, definately not, but not as nice as most of the US for sure. I've been to Miami that should count :rofl What makes You think Argentina and Uruguay are third world hell holes?? Have you ever been there? I really doubt those countries are anywhere near being third world . But I'm not talking about mongrel America I'm talking about mostly White countries like Argentina, Uruguay and southern Brazil, also most of Chile is basically White. Venezuela, Haiti, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Mexico, central America, Columbia, Peru, Bolivia, that's all an entirely different story.
