have never posted in here and plan to never post in here again, but after the match at the Maracanã, brazilian players and fans were met with racist comments from Argentinans on social media, racism is around for a long time in football, but lately brazilan racism has been rapid, I want nothing more to just cry because I feel like these people get no repercussions or consequences, it may seem like a “suck it up” or “cry more” situation but it hurts to see brazilian people get harrassment, this is just a vent, if you read than thank you
I’m a dark skinned Argentinian. My grandparents are from Mexico. Growing up some kids who rip on me for being brown and that I wasn’t a real Argentine and to try going to Brazil.
I saw online that some black chick who lived in Buenos Aires for a few years and got invested in our culture said she started to feel Argentinian. Comments were telling her that anyone can be Argentinian if they love our culture. Where the fuck was THAT mentality when I was growing up there. Love my country and national team and it’s not as racist as it used to be but it’s got a long way to go.
