[QUOTE="unrated, post: 1011675, member: 45773"] Argentina dump rugby captain Matera after xenophobic tweets resurface Argentina dump rugby captain Matera after xenophobic tweets resurface [URL]https://www.news24.com/sport/rugby/argentina-dump-rugby-captain-matera-after-xenophobic-tweets-resurface-20201201[/URL] So I see Argentina has removed him as the captain and suspended him with two other players Apparently this was his tweets translated. “Beautiful morning to go out in the car and run over some n***” “The hatred towards Paraguayans, Bolivians, etc, stems from that maid who lost a hair in your food” “South Africa baby! At last I’m leaving this country full of blacks...ouch!” “I’m going to shave the maid’s hair, ****” Now I have heard that the term negro in South America in some quarters can be seen as endearing rather than as intent to offend. I mean you can't get away from the part where be says he wants to run them over but from what I understand they say In South America it's more Classist than Racists as the Argentinean rugby players is part of the elite economy wise of their society. That they just use the term to mock "poorer citizens or migrants from neighbouring countries" instead of as a race based derogatory term. I'm not stating it as fact I'm cautiously trying to dissect the context. Argentinian people can correct me, or help educate if I'm off the mark. This Cavani sorry linked below also states that the term negro is used a a term of endearment Cavani apologises for misunderstood social media post Cavani apologises for misunderstood social media post [URL]https://www.news24.com/sport/Soccer/EnglishPremiership/cavani-apologises-for-misunderstood-social-media-post-20201130[/URL] "The message I posted after the match on Sunday was intended as an affectionate greeting to a friend, thanking him for his congratulations after the game," Cavani said in a statement.
