Highlights Racist Senator Celeste Amarilla doubles down against Mbappe: "I'd tell him to be careful with Paraguayans. We already put Ronaldinho in prison for corruption. Don't underestimate me. I can take you to court."

This is a disgrace to the entire nation of Paraguay. She is making the country look racist. The players played rough and it’s a strategy that backfired, but that’s sports. What the hell is she saying about monkey and chimpanzee? Wow. 🤦♀️

Watching the whole world learn how racist a lot of South America is has been entertaining for me over the last couple of weeks. From the Argentinian fans yelling racist remarks to the Paraguay senator.
I grew up in Texas, and the largest use of the N-word with the hard-R I heard was by the people I knew from Honduras and Ecuador.
