While it is touchy subject i think it should be discussed as it is a travel forum and there is racism everywhere in the world for ALL races, it only depends where in the world you are. Europe alone has several different white ethnies that may dislike each other, the same happens in Africa among black people. Short answer Argentina or Brazil is largely racist towards blacks but it is different of North American racism. A black man will be welcomed and well treated anywhere, there is no hate or "blacks can't enter here" but it won't be easy to get into white social circles and in the case of Brazil the police(including black policemen) see black people as suspects so if you are in Brazil don't dress like rapper. I see Black Americans in Brazil all dressed like a rapper or basket ball player, it makes you look like a suspect for both police and random people. Dress with normal clothing and you won't stand out in a bad way to anyone.
@pargan It will be easier if you are into white pop culture, most Argentinians like Electronic, Rock and Metal music. Buy a Megadeth t-shirt, memorize song names and you will make a lot more friends. However everyone is into American movies, politics and other American stuff, being American makes you interesting no mater the race.
