Stereotypes of Argentines are generalizations about Argentines that do not reflect reality. Stereotypes associated with Argentines vary from country to country depending on the prevalent stereotype in each culture. [1][2]

In Brazil and Uruguay, Argentines are stereotyped as arrogant, proud and narcissistic.[3][4][5] To this Argentines are also known for being gossipy, full of grandeur, liars (chantas), envious, quick and exaggerated in Uruguay.[6]. In addition to the above, Argentines have also been labeled as lazy, vain, and pedantic, but also kind and carefree, in scientific polls.[7]

In Spain and other South American countries such as Peru, Argentines are stereotyped as passionate –though somewhat coarse– as well as noble, honest, and kind.[8]
