I’ve seen this line used repeatedly as an excuse to dehumanize and therefore justify violence against Argentinian fans.

How about some common sense, you’re dealing with a minority that’s not exactly the best society has to offer. Racism and prejudice is everywhere very much in Brazil as well and yes it’s repugnant but so is being xenophobic.

Apparently people need to pay to be released so I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a racket to extort foreigners.

Common in Brazil, they are an embarrassment every single time someone goes there to play, their cops are the worst of the worst but Conmebol and FIFA won’t touch them. Any other South American nation pulls the kind of crap Brazilian teams and the NT pull whenever anyone goes there and their stadiums would be suspended for a year plus millions in fines.

Hope these racist argentino fucks root in jail. Then sent them to their country to continue rooting there. Animals.

So you’re saying not one brazilian was arrested? Not one despite there’s videos of a bunch of them exchanging blows with the visitors in the same way. Totally not xenophobic.
