I've seen worse. Our president made a slight mistake and misquoted a book by saying "Mexicans came from Indians, Brazilians came from the jungle, but we Argentines came from the ships, and the ships came from Europe. So of course I love Spain"

The quote is made even worse by the fact that is straight-up wrong too, given that Argentina has as much non-European ancestry as Brazil in terms of genetics. Lots of Argentinians came from the natives too.
