The phrase '''White Argentine''' or '''White Argentinian''' is used to describe the totality of all ethnicities (''colectividades'' in Spanish) of predominantly European/Middle Eastern descent in [[Argentina]]. This is an artificial concept without any scientific value and is most frequently used in English-language texts, usually in an ideological and often in a racist context. The Spanish equivalent (''argentino blanco'') is neither an official term, nor currently used in common speech. Sometimes ''Criollo'' is used, but this was originally only used for unmixed descendants of Spaniards, born in the Americas.
