🤬 Chupaba cocos, Paraguayan politician's racism towards Mbappé

🤬 Chupaba cocos, Paraguayan politician's racism towards Mbappé Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla, of the Liberal Radical Party, has sparked the latest racism scandal at the World Cup by mocking Kylian Mbappé. Amarilla posted several racist comments on X after Paraguay’s elimination against France in the Round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup.  The senator made racist remarks about Mbappé’s education and origins and also encouraged making a contemptuous gesture at him, even boasting that she does it herself in the Senate. "The brute never even learned how to write; instead of mother’s milk he sucked coconuts, and the most educated thing he heard was chimpanzees. You should have shown him the finger, Orlando Gill — I do it in the Senate and nothing happens!!!" Amarilla wrote. The comment adds to recent episodes of discriminatory speech directed at Black footballers, a problem FIFA and UEFA say they are fighting. Her status as a public official worsens the impact of the case. So far there has been no response from Mbappé, FIFA, the French federation, or Paraguay’s Liberal Party.  This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
