This Enzo situation and the responses from online idiots really vexes me :jbhmm:

The overwhelming consensus is people going out their ways to absolve the situation and saying it isn’t racist. But why is France being singled out for having first generation citizens in their ranks? A lot of Arabs and Indians as well showing out
Shiiiit you should've seen the caping for the ryan garcia shyt that was much worse than this. The brain rot is real

Nah, I remember it being quite loud and it even reached Japan and Barca almost risked losing a Rakuten deal at the time because of it
I'm a Barca fan, it was all optics. what was the conclusion of it?

Griezmann even did black face, and you would think someone on the French football team would've been like "bro that's not a good idea" and his corner let him do that.

Fifa doesn't care about racism.

Big corporations don’t give a flying fukk about racism.

But I’m not extending that grace to regular everyday people

Oh I know I’m not focused on pros

They look at life through a different lens. They’re rich and famous and have been for years on end. Their experiences differ greatly than the rest of ppl.

Btw anyone saying this isn’t racist need only remember Argentina’s celebrations after the WC win.

You even had Aguero(!!) come in in the locker room singing songs mocking Camavinga (?!?!). I don’t think Camavinga has ever played against Aguero…so why would that occur ? :patrice:

Yeah that shyt never sat right with me neither and now this shyt? fukk argentina
