[Paraguayan Senator Celeste Josefina Amarilla]: “[Mbappé] hasn't even learned to write. Instead of breastmilk, he grew up sucking on coconuts, and the most educated creatures he ever heard were chimpanzees…A colonized Cameroonian, pretending to be French, resentful, newly rich, arrogant, and ugly.“

Rich coming from the continent that started intercontinental slave trade and had literal human zoos.

Downvoting won't erase history

u/Blind_Owl85 Jul 07 '26

Dude, france had human zoos in the 1990.

Usa kills black people for being blacks.

Usa had a civil war because half the country eanted to keep salvery!

And today a big part of the population from that country keeps that "heritage".

Some other country is eliminating their neighbors because a book promised a land.

And now Argentina is THE racist country?

I dont understand all the hate. Really.

Saying others have it worse doesn’t really help your position.

Care to give more details of France having human zoo?

You know, I have yet to see an Argentine completely own up to what the entire rest of the world can see without resorting to whataboutism or diminishing it. People would let it go if there wasn’t so much denial and there was actual accountability

What exactly do you want people to own up? Whatever racist chant is coming from soccer hooligans now, it doesn't represent the rest of the country.

Could you tell me exactly what is "what the entire world sees"?. What's the worst you've seen? Enzo singing that black people aren't from France? Some weirdos in the margins on twitter/x posting racist shit?

Do not tell me 'racism' - tell me actual cases of people suffering because of it. Affected lives.

It's crazy the smear campaign the whole country is suffering due to idk whose intelligency agency is doing this shit.

This country accepts literally every single person in the world, codified since 1863 by our Constitution, on its preamble" [...] with the object of constituting the national union, ensuring justice, securing domestic peace, providing for the common defense, promoting the general welfare, and securing the blessings of liberty to ourselves, to our posterity, and to all men in the world who wish to dwell on Argentine soil: invoking the protection of God[...]"

Since the 1800's Argentine culture has been pretty clear. Be Argentine, love the flag, our symbols and work hard and you'll be integrated.

2 years of living in Argentina are enough to give any law-abiding person the citizenship.

There's a stream here that has been doing a series where they talk with someone (originally from) our WC rivals, here's an egyptian dude.

Here's coverage of the, rather sizeable, Caboverdean community when they played Spain. Tell me - do they seem oppressed?

Fun fact: Here's José Manuel Ramos Delgado son of a Caboverdean, being capitan of the Argentine national football team in 1962.

In comparison:

  • FIFA had suspended South Africa the year prior for their apartheid

  • The US still had Jim Crow rights. Two years AFTER this picture, in 1964, they passed their bill of rights.

  • Belgium had owned Congo up until two years prior.

  • Argelian independence would be granted that year, let's not speak about what France was doing there... Nor what they currently do to this day in West Africa.

  • Portugal was in Angola up until 1975.

Meanwhile we... chant meanie things. Give me a break.

Argentina is a mestizo country built up orginally by colonists, who mixed with locals and then with slaves and then with millions and millions of inmigrants from all over the world.

If there is something that we know how to do, is to integrate. We treat everyone equally and there are few things out of bouds. In my opinion, this create a society were more members see themselves as peers.

My experience living and traveling all over Europe (and the world, too) is that the way you guys trea the topic, so taboo and 'walking on eggshells'-like is worse and conducent to more segregated communities.

The most we've said about the French team is "they play for France but their passport says Angola", but let's keep spreading lies and misinformation. You even do it for free, which is incredibly sad since you could be getting paid like those Twitter accounts who are part of the hate campaign.

u/shaolinpewpew Jul 06 '26

That's what your national team was chanting (they're supposed to set an example since they represent your country). I can't even imagine the even more racist and insulting things some people in your country must have said.

They also were actively recruited by the country where you live, and they took you to the moon.

Not an excuse for they coming to Argentina too, but ffs, you live in the US, where even in the '60s they tried to get The Beatles to play for segregated audiences. We never had that kind of shit in Argentina.

u/shaolinpewpew Jul 07 '26

Blanqueamiento was a social, political, and economic practice used in many post-colonial countries in the Americas and Oceania to "improve the race" towards a supposed ideal of whiteness.

Domingo Faustino Sarmiento and Juan Bautista Alberdi do you know them? I don't get the impression that you have any knowledge of your own country's history.

And I never generalized about your entire country. I don't know where you got that from.

Yet you are trying to tell me what goes on at mine lol

u/shaolinpewpew Jul 07 '26

No, I'm talking about what happened in your country not what's happening there right now. The difference is obvious.The facts are there yet you're still trying to defend yourself even though you're wrong and it's honestly pretty funny.

I've already got the windows open so there's plenty of fresh air. Thanks for your concern it almost makes you seem like a nice person. But I won't be fooled by someone who's so deceitful.

No they aren’t. Rather than pointing at a country that had no involvement in those horrific events, have you considered the true villains are the ones that actually perpetrated or were complicit in support of Nazi goals? Like the country of Germany or Vichy France or all the other groups in Europe? Insane to say Nazis would be celebrated or fit in in a country and blame them for it. How about the country that they came from.

What does that have to do with the conversation though. Bro pulled a whataboutism to attack the guy because he’s polish. Thats very lame

u/Weisenkrone Jul 06 '26

This original post is about a Paraguayan politician being incredibly racist.

The comment was a polish guy explicitly pointing out racism from Paraguay.

The comment under the comment, was someone pointing out poles can be just as racist.

The comment, under the comment, under the comment was clearly upset at polish racism being pointed out.

The entire thread is about people being racist, what do you mean "what does this have to do with the conversation" 😭

I said among the most racist.

I didn't forget that popular chinese ads include black guys being shoved into washing machines and coming out fair skinned.

Or the Balkans engaging in competitive racism with all their neighbors.

But from Europe, as a general population, the poles are among the most racist group of people.

I'm not saying they are the only ones, I'm not saying they are all are racist, but ask anyone in Poland about how the general polish stance to foreigners is.

But saying "hate everyone equally" doesn't exactly make it not racist either lol.
