Thanks John, I agree it’s drawing too long a bow to use a two sided coin categorizations. And 1/4 Argentinian, I knew we had more in common that we thought. Latin people tend to find each other one way or another :)

My dad’s first language was Spanish. I remember relatives from Buenos Aires playfully (rudely?) remarking on the pronunciation of words by Mexicans and Spaniards. I have a second cousin who was about to ‘disappear’ in the ‘70s, was gotten out of jail by a friend of the family who was a Colonel, and now lives in Barcelona.
oh love that your dads first language was Spanish, like me. Ha, I bet the Argentinos made fun of us, its mutual so its ok. We have jokes about how Argentineans think they are God's gift to the universe - and then we secretly resent them for their football skills.

Well that football thing is big. Much bigger than we comprehend in NZ.
In the ‘70s we had a cousin, Andrés, staying with our family here in Auckland. Argentina won the World Cup (is that what it’s called?).
Very bad things were happening back home in Argentina under the military, and that was one reason why he was staying with us.
But when they won the World Cup he was literally jumping and crying and shouting how much he loved Argentina.
