[QUOTE="unrated, post: 1011677, member: 45773"] So I was trying to get some translations of his tweets on some other forums, and some poster explained the following. (Start quote) In Argentina the word “negro” isn’t really a racist term, it is classist term. Negro is a word for poor people, and it derives (iirc) from something Peron said (“cabezitas negras”) which isnt adressing race. Also, 2011/12 Argentine twitter was literally a competition of who was a worse person, they were all 16/17 then just (very) stupid teenagers tweeting stupid things for their equally stupid friends. (End quote) So what I'm understanding is that he was wrong, he was a teenager, he should have deleted them much sooner once he grew up. He is now in the public eye and got caught out. I want to know what does the Argentinian posters think should be the appropriate punishment. [/QUOTE]
