It is a fucking weird article, but why racist? I guess we need to wait for Vini Jr opinion on the matter.
How about NOT referring to him as that and seeing him as a footballer instead?
Yeah of course, but again, why racist?
idk dude how about you go upto a dark-skinned person and ask them if they are a 'descendant of slavery' and lets see how the situation goes
It's referencing his Quilombola roots which is a specific group of people in Brazil that descend from escaped slaves.
I mean... He's black and Brazilian, it is probably true, you just don't need to call someone that
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.
What the actual fuck
They really should remove the WC from Spain.
Always hilarious seeing this type comments then looking at the flair, de que zona de espanha és? Mumbai ou Nova Iorque?
ya know chatgpt, deepL and google translate exist right? if someone wanted to pretend to be from somewhere on the internet it's damn easy nowadays...
Imagine they remove Spain from the WC bid but they allow Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Lmao. Peak FIFA.
What? That’s just weird…
Someone should explain him that every human alive have ancestors that were slaves
Yeah but, they had the same skin color as me. So it was different.
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.
We have had worse presidents
Just for clarification this wasn’t Milei
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.
Man Im watching somewhat the under17 world cup currently at play for Etcheverry and let me tell y'all the roster could very well be Mexicans , ecuadorians or whatevs;it is not as if the players look Baltic haha
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.
Pretty bad president for sure, but didnt you guys have some awful presidents in the late 60s / early 70s?
:(
but didnt you guys have some awful presidents
Yes. For the last 100 years or so.
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.
lil typo is all
I feel like that's not even racism? Just confusing? Like what compelled you to say this. wtf?
it's both tbh
there is literally no reason to highlight it on the headline. it's just fucking weird, man
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.
But like? Isint he?
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.
Of course not. It’s really weird to do.
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 don't see it as racist. It's his personal history.
It could have been worded better.
Flag checks out
Is it a lie that his ancestors were slaves?
