    I’ve seen worse. Our president made a slight mistake and misquoted a book by saying “Mexicans came from Indians, Brazilians came from the jungle, but we Argentines came from the ships, and the ships came from Europe. So of course I love Spain”

      The quote is made even worse by the fact that is straight-up wrong too, given that Argentina has as much non-European ancestry as Brazil in terms of genetics. Lots of Argentinians came from the natives too.

      I start to see why many people say Argentinians are racist. At first, I thought it was like any other countries but this is a bigger level.

        Just take a look at the thread when the brazilian police attacked argentinian fans in the stadium a few days ago.

        Obviously a horrible occurence, but the amount of Argentines that denied any kind of racism problem/racist history in their country was outrageous, and anyone opposing their lies was downvoted to hell

        They basically see themselves as Europeans rather than South Americans, as I understand it.

        Argentina is just as non-European as Brazil is, they just have native ancestry instead of African and are a little farther away from the ecuator.

    Obviously is wasn’t meant in a racist way imo, it’s because he comes from Quilombo, it’s just really stupid, and it’s really weird they decided to focus on that

      Dude are you black? if not, why the fuck do you think your entitled to decide what racism towards black people, really should mean? Describing someone as a slave descendant in this context, because his family 100years(!!) ago was a slaves is absoloutly fucked.

        They could very well also use “King Filipe, descendent of inbreed royals” but you know they won’t and you know why.

    The Romans enslaved them, Visigoths enslaved them and the Moors also enslaved them. Not sure why they are pretending their ancestors weren’t enslaved.

    It’s referencing his Quilombola roots which is a specific group of people in Brazil that descend from escaped slaves.

    It is a fucking weird article, but why racist? I guess we need to wait for Vini Jr opinion on the matter.

    This title must’ve gone through so many hands before being published and still got published without anyone thinking the title was the slightest bit racist.

    i think it’s common knowledge that a lot of black people in the americas were descended from slaves, especially in the states, but they meant this pejoratively which is hateful.

      Why do you think they meant it pejoratively? I’m reading it as a sort of “he came from nothing and now he’s doing great”. The kind of story you usually get of Brazilian footballers coming from the favelas.

      I have a good friend who is black, his family is 100% descendant of American slaves, as much as you can be.

      As a native American/white dude. I would never, never refer to him a descendant of slaves.
