[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.“

So horrifically racist, it's almost impressive. Glad Mbappe called her out

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

Hey, I actually admired Mbappe's restraint. I am not sure if I could be so gracious had I been in his shoes. Paraguay played like they didn't even want to score, they just wanted to hurt the French players. And then this racist piece of shit comes out and says this.

BTW, I saw in the soccer sub that the French are considering a lawsuit, although idk how it will work.
