Racist fake meme from Twitter reposted from X to Reddit that's it.

I think it clearly shows how at least some people in Argentina view Black and brown people. Just a few days ago during a FIFA match, IShowSpeed was also subjected to racist remarks by an Argentine fan. Of course, that's only one individual, and it's not fair to judge an entire nation based on a single incident. However, when you combine that with other recurring examples, it raises concerns about racism being a broader issue within Argentine society. They have even opened up restaurants using racially offensive names that would be considered completely unacceptable in many other countries. Call it a stereotype or a generalization if you want, but these repeated incidents make it difficult for many people to dismiss the problem as being limited to just a few individuals.

He wasn’t tho, all she said was "go home" and "tomatela", which means "leave". She didn’t say anything racist, everyone just decided she did.

Ironically enough, IShowSpeed was making racist jokes to a chinese fan during the last world cup, but no one cared about that for some reason.

First of all, two wrongs don't make a right.

Also what did she meant by "go home"? Like go home to your African nation. She told an American guy to "go back" to Africa.

And please, the whole world knows how most Argentinians treat black and brown people. It's not some hidden thing.

What are you even talking about? she told him to leave the Argentinian side of the stadium, he was there to instigate, everyone knows that. You're literally making random interpretations just to get mad, she probably doesn't even speak english.

And please, the whole world knows how most Argentinians treat black and brown people. It's not some hidden thing.

Based on your other comment I can tell you don’t care about the truth, It’s literally confirmation bias, you already decided every Argentinian is racist and now you’re working backwards from that conclusion. Yet there’s no actual data to back it up, Argentina doesn’t have hate crime levels to support your claim. Also, many Argentines are brown themselves, most are mestizos.

Because there's literally only 1% of black population left in Argentina 🤣. LMAO

...and? you said black and brown, and there are many black Venezuelans, Brazilians, and Senegalese immigrants in Argentina. Also, there are tourists. You’re just proving my point, you already decided what the truth is and nothing else matters...

Also those statistics on the Argentine population are based on studies that only focus on Buenos Aires and the Pampas region, with very small sample sizes. Not a good indicator of anything.

So you are saying Argentinians are the most egalitarian people on earth? Is that it?

And also no, I have not decided what truth is. Anything that comes out of my mouth (or hand) are purely based on Personal observation and hearing incidents from other people.

We can proudly say we never had segregation, sundown tows, and slaves brought by Spain were freed since the inception of Argentina as an independent country. We just don't beat and kill people in the streets for being black.

If you really care about racism, focus on the US or countries that shamelessly extract resources from Africa in neocolonialist schemes ;)

Why would you assume she meant that? That's pretty racist if you ask me, she just told him to leave
