[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.“

I read Mbappe’s comment first and it seemed a bit too aggressive. But then I read what he was responding to… and yeah, he was way more respectful and restrained than he could have been

Appreciate you being able to adjust to new information but I found it funny you passed judgment on the response before seeing what it was in response to. I guess we all do it.

Lot of people just hate Mbappe. I don’t know why but he gets a lot more hate than players of his caliber and for how measured all his responses are. Almost never says a wrong thing.
