The correction was attached to a Dec. 8 “Perspective” piece by author Erika Denise Edwards, who wrote an op-ed as part of the newspaper’s “Made by History” series.Edwards, an associate professor of Latin American history at the University of Texas at El Paso, wrote that the lack of black players on Argentina’s World Cup roster stood in “stark contrast” to other South American soccer powers such as Brazil.
She wrote that the “idea of Argentina as a white nation” was “inaccurate” and that attempts to portray it as such was part of a “longer history of black erasure at the heart of the country’s self-definition.” A professor at the University of Texas at El Paso wrote an op-ed in The Washington Post lamenting the lack of black players on Argentina’s national soccer team.Edwards cited historical data which she said showed that in the 18th century, a third of Argentina’s population was black.Europe by initiating a process of “whitening,” according to Edwards.
The Washington Post opinion piece complaining that there are no black players on Argentina’s team has been corrected after the fact, to note that “far less than 1%” of the Argentine population is black.
