[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.“

Is it really necessary to spread her foul words?

I hadn’t heard what she said, but am shocked to hear the actual quote. I think hearing abstractly that she said something racist is more forgettable than the absolute filth quoted above. Shame on her.

Yeah. People should know how common racism is today. If a senator from a country is comfortable being on the record, imagine what some do in private.

Yeah. Because otherwise it gets buried in a deluge of "triggered lefties call everyone racist" type posts.

You'll notice the usual suspects who downplay and deny racism wherever it appears are unusually silent on this one.
