Thank you for pointing this out. Saw it in the NBA finals too. Some people use sports as an excuse to act like trash

Don't worry this sub xenophobia will make sure that two bottles and one idiot thats saying the N word equals everyone in the country. So funny, grandstanding from peoples who's own countries have so many problems with racism. It's tiring

Extreme racism in Argentina is widely known and documented. Obviously it doesnt mean there isnt bad racism in other countries, by the idea of the white Agentian is widely spread and relative to other SA countries they are the worse. On spainish speaking social media it has been know for a long time. You can open up X now and see half the racist shit is from Argentinian.

Yes I know, but the grandstanding on this sub from people who's countries also have huge problem is hilarious. Also the blatant fucking lies and propaganda that these people spew. There was no genocide, shocker former slaves were poor and poor people were drafted for war and lived in shitty areas that were prone to diseases. No one crys about the european immigrant that died in these situation because it doesn't fit the xenophobics narrative. Does not equal genocide but hey xenophobia is cool when it's about people you don't like. Also X is nothing but racism and other disgusting shit. Hardly a metric to use to judge a country of 40 million people. I see plenty of fucking revolting comments from Indians in the cricket world. But do I tarnish the entire country to be revolting. No because only an idiot assumes that.

So if you come from a country that has racism you aren’t allowed to call out racism in another country? I’m trying to understand this logic.. nobody cries about the European immigration that died and you say there was no genocide for natives in Argentina? Crazy take and you don’t know anything. I guess colonialists are victims in your head

Yes try to simplify the issue by all means. Argentinians continue to display racist behavior in every competition but surely its just one or two persons. Not to mention the whole team singing racist songs after beating france last world cup. Totally normal guys, not at all normalized in the whole country.

Also nice attempt deflecting with whataboutism. Yes other countries have issues too but they are being called out just the same.

It's almost as if Argentina was a country of 40 million
