This article presents the results of a national study that explored the level of xenophobia among teenage students in Argentina towards twelve identity groups (both national and cultural). The study found that there is a widespread xenophobic atmosphere, as well as high levels of racism, among the population studied. The most severely rejected identity groups are Gypsies, Jews, Chinese and Koreans, followed by border immigrants.

Keywords : Argentina; xenophobia; racism; adolescence; middle school; attitudes.
