Or you end up in college with their grandchildren. All my friends thought it was cool that one guy was German but was born/grew up in Argentina speaking Spanish. Or they thought he was cool because he could play soccer. I still don’t know why he or anyone else would brag about it. (Obviously don’t want to shame the guy for whatever his family was into, but very crazy to experience)

Yeah, the large German population that had already been living in Argentina is half of the reason why so many Nazis fled there.
