En Unión y Libertad

Or, at any rate, the first one.

Most white Americans are more German than anything else, like the former President Kirchner of Argentina, husband of the present one, and like very many Argentinians. Up to six out of 10 Argentines are also part-Italian, like very many Americans; Galtieri is an Italian, not a Spanish, name. Argentina also has a sizeable Irish element.

Argentina is little more than accidentally a Spanish-speaking country, just as the United States is little, if anything, more than accidentally an English-speaking country. And the largest ethnic minority in America is now of Latin American origin, speaking Spanish.

Think on.
