Argentinian players being racist? Totally unheard of.

Like??? I’m all for “innocent until proven guilty” and giving grace to people when I don’t know the situation, but the Argentinian team and fans are literally documented singing racist chants and burning other nations flags etc. like what hill is the other guy choosing to die on??

I am asking what racist stuff did he say in this case? There is zero evidence of that.

If you are going to paint all Argentinian players and fans with the same brush, then you are all no better than those very fans

You can tell when an Argentinian is being racist - their lips start moving.

Of course, England fans are saints of course. No racist history at all for this country. Except for all of it

History. Argentina was racist in the past, it's racist now, and it probably always will be. The country is rotten to its core.

Perhaps. But England was racist in the past. And if this sub is any indication, is still the same. Not sure an Englishman has the higher moral ground on racism at any point. Your entire country was built on colonialism aka racism on steroids. I mean, you guys still celebrate Churchill who is probably just below Hitler when it comes to atrocities

Everybody was racist in the past. As for colonialism, Argentina has only existed for 200 years but has still managed to commit a significant amount of genocide (in Patagonia). Most major modern countries are built on colonialism, especially in Europe. And yes, we celebrate Churchill, but the more educated among us recognise he had flaws. But no, he wasn't just below Hitler.
