    I’m reasonably pale. In Argentina, nobody notices me unless I speak. In Mexico, I don’t get a chance to speak Spanish.

      I confuse people in Argentina because I have olive skin and dark curly hair, and I speak Spanish with a porteño accent, however my Spanish is only barely at the “simple conversations” level

        There are also full on gingers walking around Buenos Aires so nobody really pays attention much to skin color when deciding where they are from. You get it all down there.
