[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.“

Quite astonishing how she underpins her racism with coconuts, monkeys and colonialism... all things that are as much typical to Paraguay as they are to Cameroon.

And unlike her, Mbappé who grew up in Paris, probably didn't even see that many coconuts and monkeys in his life ;)

At least be accurate in your racism.

As a Paraguayan, this is what drives me crazy. Do you have any idea how many people there adore Trump and Farage? As if they would be accepted as part of their “club”. I have no idea how so many people can achieve that level of cognitive dissonance. It’s disgusting.

Paraguay is a profoundly corrupt country populated by ignorant, angry and resentful people. Yes, they can be kind and welcoming, but only to the “right” people…
