Oh, i see. You get to develop and exploit modern slavery as we know it and then have the nerve to lecture others on tolerance, morality and ethics.They are picking on most of the France team as coming from Africa and not being French. But also being ethnically black means all they are are great athletes who can run fast with the ball. Argentinian players are superior because they beat them and are more skilful and don't rely on just being fast.
Yep maybe it's just a cultural thing that Argentines can't see how it's inherently a racist song, as well as transphobic (which was just to add to the insult).
You ask us to be tolerant, respectful and take into account other people while telling us that our culture is inherently racist without even understanding it. Gotcha.
It's amazing how you fail to comprehend things yet conclude that others dont get it. How about we do, and we disagree.
Straight question: how could he present the idea that we understand you, acknowledge your pov, but we disagree? I'd like a straight answer to that. Because you point seems to suggest that those who disagree with yours trully are racist, pretty much by definition. The audacity!
Going back to the 'getting it' thing. I sincerely think you do not. I'd have no trouble accepting your disagreement if i believed you understood what was going on, what was being said, and why. But evidence suggest you do not, so i hope you understand the conclusion of someone who doesn't fully understand the premises... well, lets just say that doesnt carry much weight.
Just in case you are interested.
We pick on everyone about anything. It has little to do with race, ethnicity or the lot (i did mention my view on the trans part of the song).
We pick on the French because they are taking talent from other places.
We picked on Ireland when they took CJ Stander.
We picked on Garnacho when he joined the Argentine team.
We picked on NZ's player selection when they cherry pick the best of the pacific islanders.
We picked on Spain when they took Diego Costa.
So my question is, if it is about race, as you claim, how the **** are we racist if we make fun of anyone and everyone, including ourselves?
Is it offensive? Absolutely yes. By design and intent. Yes. But it doesnt target anything nor anyone in particular. It's sole aim is to offend. And again, you have a plethora of examples being used on everyone and anyone.
So how can something that is being used against all cultures/races/nationalities/etc be considered discriminatory with regards to nationality/culture race?
By this point it shouldn't take a neurosurgeon nor a NASA engineer to understand how stupid your argument was.
Being called a racist used to be something that stopped conversations, something we all agreed was bad, but then people (like you) came along and started to abuse the term and began to attribute it to anything and everything you couldn't understand, made you feel uncomfortable and/or didnt like. People got tired and stopped caring, which i can see as an obvious and almost instinctive reaction. You, people like you, are a HUGE part of how we came to this place. I know you prolly look youself in the mirror and think 'hey. i called them out. I dont grasp what it means but it sounds bad. I am one of the good guys'. You silly clown.
