During the recent World Cup, the clash between national teams quickly escal=
ated into an international campaign against Argentina. A diverse range of f=
igures, from musicians Rosal=C3=ADa and Patti Smith to actor Samuel L Jacks=
on, former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis and writer and activist =
Etan Thomas, joined the mass condemnation of Argentina's alleged exceptiona=
l racism. This was amplified by social media and much of the Western press,=
 both conservative and progressive. Support for Argentina=E2=80=99s opponen=
ts was presented as an anti-racist cause, with Argentine society reduced to=
 a caricature of a white, xenophobic and supremacist society.

Gabriel Vera Lopes spoke to Argentine socialist and Revista Jacobin editor-=
in-chief Mart=C3=ADn Mosquera to analyse the emotional and political origin=
s of the campaign, discuss the reality of racism in Argentina and question =
the role played by some of the global progressive intelligentsia.
