In order to do this, I will firstly introduce the main ideas of the decolonial theory with the aim of shading light on the Eurocentric matrix of the birth of the Latin American Nation-States in general, and the Argentine one in particular. Secondly, I will investigate the constructions of national history which attempt to explain the alleged "disappearance" of this population. Furthermore, I will present a revisionist historical interpretation that argues the possibility of contemplating a different version of the facts. Thirdly, I will address the racial categories that are currently used in the City of Buenos Aires: the way they were built and their links to the history of these categories. Finally, I will introduce some reflections on the mechanisms through which this population is invisibilized both at a macro-social level and in the imaginary of the Argentines’ daily life. El objetivo del presente trabajo consiste en desarrollar algunos de los mecanismos mediante los cuales ha tenido tanta eficacia el fenómeno del blanqueamiento racial en la Argentina. Para ello, en primer lugar, se introducirán las ideas principales de la teoría decolonial, con la finalidad de comprender la matriz eurocentrista del nacimiento de los Estados-Nación latinoamericanos en general, y del argentino en particular. En segundo lugar, se presentarán las construcciones de la historia nacional que intentan explicar la presunta “desaparición” de esta población. Asimismo, se expondrá una interpretación histórica que ofrece la posibilidad de contemplar una versión distinta de los hechos. En tercer lugar, se abordarán las construcciones de las categorías raciales que se utilizan actualmente en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, y su conexión con la historia de dichas categorías. Para concluir, se presentarán algunas reflexiones sobre los mecanismos mediante los cuales esta población se torna invisible tanto a nivel macro-social como en la mirada de la vida cotidiana de los argentinos.
