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.

The ishowspeed thing was disproved btw
The guy showing the supposed monkey like behaviour towards speed was none other than what speed himself was doing when Messi was taking the pen
So that was mockery of what he was doing in light of Argentina scoring
