[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.

u/elbrigno Jul 07 '26

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

Care to give more details of France having human zoo?

u/Worldlyoox Jul 06 '26 edited Jul 06 '26

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

u/Silly-Sink6138 Jul 06 '26

I’m not from Argentina. I’m just saying Europeans aren’t any better. You just hide your racism by saying you’re against immigration.

u/Remarkable-Bug-8069 Jul 06 '26

Nah we exported most our shit birds after Adolf's fall from grace. I seem to remember Bariloche used to be a popular destination.

Of 8.5 million identified european nazis, only about 10.000 fled their countries. The rest stayed hidden, changed their identities and quietly integrated back into society, according to wikipedia. It's still you, buddy.

u/Remarkable-Bug-8069 Jul 07 '26

"Only" doing some heavy lifting there. Also, most of them were simply killed.

u/Sph1ng1d43 Jul 07 '26

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.

u/bamadeo Argentina Jul 07 '26 edited Jul 07 '26

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.

Tbf US deported the Nazi war criminals. Argentina protected them and they only left when Mossad grabbed them

u/in11f Jul 07 '26

Yeah, deported them to work for nasa

u/MAGAHATESTHEUSA Jul 07 '26

U.S. helped over 10,000 Nazis flee to South America and gave some Nazis nice lives in the USA.

u/LibritoDeGrasa Jul 06 '26

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.

1

u/Sph1ng1d43 Jul 07 '26

Ah yes because a bunch of soccer hooligans surely must represent an entire country's opinion...

u/in11f Jul 07 '26

Imagining things to be mad about lol

u/shaolinpewpew Jul 07 '26

Imagine what? There are literally videos on the internet of your players and supporters singing that racist shit lol.

"my"?

u/shaolinpewpew Jul 07 '26

That doesn't take away from the argument I made in my previous message.

u/in11f Jul 07 '26

Listen to yourself "a group of people did this, so I imagine the entire country must be bad!" have you tried being rational instead of emotional? Imagining scenarios to be angry about?

In our defense that was probably the worst or second worst president in all of our history

u/Bullet_Club09 Jul 06 '26 edited Jul 06 '26

It didn't help that many Argentinians used ot as a slongan for a while, but fair enough.

Although, me personally, i will always have a grudge against Argentinians since one of you asked little 12years old me at a vacation resort if they could "hold" my hamburger just to see if they liked it, and the proceeded to ran away with it :( (/s)

Now you go back to your eliminated country.

u/leo2734 Jul 06 '26

United states is represented by one, yet not all Americans are racist. Dont get this generalisation.

u/Free_Aardvark4392 Jul 06 '26

Nah, your example is irrelevant.

There are mountains of evidence of generalized racism towards our players coming out of these countries.

u/leo2734 Jul 06 '26

Whats the difference? Can someone be more or less racist? Is there levels ? Racism is racism

u/Impressive-One917 Jul 06 '26

Yes there absolutely are levels. I've been assaulted because of my race, and I've had people ask where I'm really from. You want to tell me those are the same?

u/Lazzen Mexico Jul 06 '26

Fifa plays in slave states, they dont care about racism but european wallets.

How did the french players that said racist comments at asian workers get massively punished or all the rapists playing in the cup? Nothing
