From Argentina with love

[u/historian_92]

Hello, friends from Bangladesh! I'm writing to you from Lanús, Argentina, the birthplace of Diego Maradona. The World Cup ended not too long ago, and it brought back incredible memories of Qatar. Back then, there was a Facebook group aimed at uniting Argentina and Bangladesh.

I met so many amazing people there. Many friends offered to host me at their homes if I ever traveled there, and others wanted me to go watch cricket with them. Other girls shared what their lives were like; with some of them, I even learned a few words of Bengali, and we even expressed our affection for each other (with a very poor pronunciation on my part, I must admit!).

I learned so much about Bangladesh and Asia—so much so that I am about to earn my Master's degree in Asian and African History and Cultures from the University of Buenos Aires, all thanks to everything I learned with them and the deep desire they gave me to keep learning more.

The World Cup is over, and we don't talk anymore with the vast majority, but those memories will always remain in my heart.

Bangladesh, I love you very much ♥

বাংলাদেশ, আমি তোমাকে অনেক ভালোবাসি ♥

Calm down with the glaze man, not everyone in BD simps over another country for literally zero reason.

maybe you should pipe down and let everyone share their feelings.

You are writing as if everyone loves maradona and Argentina “our first love..” “if the whole world is against you..”. No we will not stand behind racists, the very country you are glazing, the people will literally spit on you because of your nationality. There’s a reason every other South American country hates them, and everyone could see their racist antics at the World Cup. So don’t go speaking for the whole of BD, cuz many of us still have our brains intact.

This is the result of media campains. Argentina is not a racist country. There are racists, such as in everywhere but the country itself is among the more tolerant in South america. South america does not hate as. Buenos aires is among the cites where more paraguayans live, 5% of uruguay's population lives here. Thousands of students from colombia, ecuador, chile and brazil come here every year to study because argentina provides free medicare and access to university to everyone. Finally. I can swear that a Bangladeshi would never be splitted by an argentinian. You can check that after winning World cup 2022 the only flag (apart from ours) present in the celebrations was yours.
