Talk:Ethnic groups of Argentina

Untitled
10% argentinian descend basques??? You are serious?? This only can be write for a nationaliste basque of ETA. The basque people have a minuscule population, and a very litle emigration. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.117.172.194 (talk) 22:31, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Merge
Shouldnt this artilce be mrged with the Argentine people article...this ethnography is about the Argentine people and has most of the same contents written within both...shouldnt this article be just somehow moved or some of the information moved into the Argentine poeple article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.177.55.110 (talk) 03:29, 13 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Ethnography is just an aspect to be treated at Argentine people. That article should include summaries not only on ethnography, but on culture, religion, language, et al. On the other hand, a detailed article on Argentine ethnogrphy is necessary and important. So there's no reason at all to merge. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.127.172.250 (talk) 03:33, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

White Argentine merge

 * I support merging White Argentine into this article as proposed. Kaldari (talk) 23:00, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Welsh/British
Wales is part of Greta Britain and the Welsh are British. Indeed the Welsh can claim to be one of the few remaining groups who can claim a direct lineage to the original Britons. For these reasons I propose that the paragraph on the Welsh become a paragraph within the British sub-heading. As this is an encyclopedia, we need to correct such mistakes.

Mislabelled and/or untruthful graphs
The graphs are mislabelled. From the very source linked in the "Genetic ancestry of the Argentine gene pool according to a UFPA study. [6]" ( https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00438-020-01755-w ) graph, it says:

Differential results were detected between autosomal DIPs and X-DIPs. The former showed that the European component was the largest (77.8%), followed by the Native American (17.9%) and African (4.2%) components, in good agreement with the previously published results. In contrast, X-DIPs showed that the European genetic contribution was also predominant but much smaller (52.9%) and considerably larger Native American and African contributions (39.6% and 7.5%, respectively).

X-DIP are the X chromosome lineages (matrilineal). DIP are the Y chromosome lineages (patrilineal). In Argentina, like many other Latin American countries, the European contribution for the Y part is much greater than the X part in existing populations (as the study shows). However, the graphs present the X-DIP data as if that is the "genetic makeup of the Argentine population" which is only about half a truth. I will assume that the original editor simply did not understand what DIP or X-DIP meant, however this error could dangerously misdirect a reader towards an incorrect conclusion.

 * How should it be presented? Shall we delete the graphic? I have corrected the graphs there, I hope they are now fine. English is not my first language and genetics is not my speciality. Fechu93 (talk) 03:26, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

User friendliness
The article could probably use a simple table of ethnicities with estimated percentages of the population for each group as well as the number of people claiming the ethnicity. As it is, if I wanted to see the percentage of Argentines identifying as Italian or Guaraní, it's not immediately visible. Pascalulu88 (talk) 15:29, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
