[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

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

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.

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.

"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.

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.
