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

    Argentina is crazy racist

    Lived there. Barely any black people but somehow I’d hear the N word on a couple of occasions while over there.

    Live in Brazil now which has racism but honestly I see so many mixed families, groups with all colours mixing together socially, favelas are mixed (unlike somewhere like US where many ghettos are all black).The police are very mixed too. I know racism exists here but honestly it seems impossible to be racist in Brazil because the place is just so integrated but you’ll always get idiots

    Funny story, in a favela in Rio and this auld lad rocks up to the bar with Nazi tattoos. Traffickers both black and white walking around with machine guns taking the piss out of him and he’s drinking with his black and white friends (he was a local in favela). It just didn’t make sense lol

    You cry about mean things said online. Yet every single time Argentinos travel to Brasil, there is police brutality on levels that if it were to anyone else it would be on your news channels. Did they you even consider the police that attacked the fans in the stadium after they whistled and booed our national anthem? There were women and children in the stands when the police came and started beating people. You choose not to accept it because in your societies it is okay to discriminate against us, but it is a crime against humanity to discriminate black people. Brasilians are also racist against us, we just don’t give a shit because life is more difficult than mean words.

      What’s an example of brazilian racism towards Argentina? I’ve never seen it, and it goes both ways with the national anthem thing, happens with everyone in South America. And I’m pretty sure (not entirely sure) that the Argentinan started the fight.

        When their police target our people specifically at every single match when they travel there. When they tell us we go hungry and are shit because of our failing economy. There’s tons of examples, but you will only look at the ones that are convenient for you.

        Booing and whistling at national anthems is not acceptable in South America. You can whistle at the team and say shit to fans but no one does at the anthem. Complete lack of respect. The (70000) Brazilians in attendance started it, not the (3000) of us there.

    Wouldn’t expect anything less from the country who’s star player literally admitted that they spiked a Brazilian player’s drink when he asked the Argentine bench for water. There’s a reason we hate them.

    Bla bla bla.

    You’re a complete noob in football.

    Brazilian and Argentinian hate their guts and this sort of issues is pretty much mainstream.

    It also takes a special kind of clueless person to act like Argentinians aren’t among the most racist fans on earth.

    Expecting this kind of games to be fair play is wasting your time. It will NEVER happen!

    Do you understand that? NEVER.

    There are BILLIONS of people in this earth that don’t give a dam about modern social justice and that actually use football as a way to dump their frustrations.

    This sort of behavior is at the root of football popularity wether we like it or not. And as such, some very specific footballing environment will always be subject to this sort of shit show.

    That’s life. The world isn’t an utopia. It’s filled with garbage.

      I’m stating the obvious, and it’s one thing if you say like “Maracanã 1-0” “2021” “papa” the racism is not mainstream, people know nothing about it, I’m not stating any new information here I’m talking about how it doesn’t get a lot of attention, now I know it will never change but I feel like it’s worth complaining about, but I get what you’re saying totally

        Not sure who the “media” is when we are getting rightfully flamed by most media outlets after Rodrygo came out with that statement.

            What’s the criteria for that award? We had the best fans at the World Cup and that’s a fact. How does an event that happened a year later influence an award from a sporting event a year prior?

    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.

    lol as a black person i will tell you this… any country that was virtually no black people/isn’t culturally is going to be racist regardless of what stats may say.

    so yes obviously Argentina would be a little weird.

      Because black people is the only minority that matters? Indigenous and mixed white and indigenous don’t count? Jews? Arabs? Armenians?

      So, being an apartheid state that prevents race mixing makes you less racist now?

      There’s like an ignorant racism from those sort of countries that isn’t hatred but Argentina genuinely has hating racists that stems from much more than ignorance
