Emerging community or Afro purgatory: Why am I here anyways??

As an Afro-American Studies/Economics concentrator how did I end up in the whitest Latin American country doing an anthropology project. Am I in an academic purgatory or is there really something to study??

A little bit about the history of the "Afro" community in Buenos Aires and most importantly did I actually buy some of these pickaninny faced cupcakes...??
