There is an old joke in Argentina: "How do you make a quick buck in Argentina? Buy a porteño for what he's worth, and sell him for what he says he's worth."
Truth and reason have never gotten in the way of national pride, and few are more proud than Porteños. So don't expect any Porteño to accept that foreigners might be as good at Tango, one of the uniquely Argentine treasures. Your version of truth really doesn't matter. It is simply true that Argentines are better at dancing Tango. Accept it, believe it, don't question it: we all get along better.
