In Brazil and Uruguay, Argentines are stereotyped as arrogant, proud, narcissistic and racist.[1] To this Argentines are also known for being gossipy, full of grandeur, liars (chantas), envious, quick and exaggerated in Uruguay.[2] Chileans also often depict Argentines as arrogant.[3] In addition to the above, Argentines have also been labeled as lazy, vain, and pedantic, but also kind and carefree, in scientific polls.[4]
