THANK U FOR SAYING SOMETHING 🙂↕️🙂↕️ the racism from them on twitter is even more disgusting, they always talk about how their team is better because they don’t need black players or muslim.
they're evil reincarnated genuinely. just a bunch of racist, white supremacist, nationalistic mfs. patriotic for a shit ass country btw
anyw argentina, especially their football team, hate is gladly welcomed on my account ❤️
hello! earnestly, i think this video from al jazeera described it well - but overall, as a country, especially interactions between argentina fans and black people and players have been very racist. i know a group of people doesn’t represent a country, but it’s overwhelming and very publicly too. it left a bad taste in my mouth.
as a team, they also play unsportsmanlike and corruptly in the world cup - just yesterday, enzo fernandez delivered a hit in the back of england’s elliot anderson’s head and no foul. and then messi wrestled with jude bellingham on the field and still no foul. and that’s just ONE game. don’t get me started on cape verde or egypt. fifa has been extremely bias and blatant with their favoritism toward argentina which sours my enjoyment of them as a whole.
lastly, as a representative and icon of argentina, messi is a zionist. supporting and working with israel even though what they’re doing is a blatant genocide of palestinians. why would i want to support that?
hey zya, i remember following you because at a highly misogynistic moment of the rafe cameron fandom you came forward and addressed the issue directly. i respected that, i still remember the whole 'make rafe great again' thing you had successfully going on, because fuck trump, right? this is probably why i'm surprised you're not opposed to spreading hate and misinformation so blatantly at all.
this entire post, and the two or three things you reblogged on your main account, are fun and momentary to you but they are harming the integrity of my country — which is exactly what they want, if you can guess who they are. i just thought, given the fact that you're a college student and maybe older than i am, you'd be wiser than to fall for something that is so obviously nefarious propaganda. i don't mind addressing al jazeera's video you shared, i don't mind pointing each part they got wrong, i just have an issue believing you will even care.
it's been an interesting experience, this world cup specifically. please know, by "us" i don't mean your followers, and by "you" i don't mean you but the many fingers pointing behind the pretence of activism: this is the reality you've been showing us. you don't care about racism. you don't care about zionism. you don't care about cabo verde and egypt and how corrupt fifa is — although that's a conversation i'm willing to have on a different occasion. because you look the other way when it's england. you look the other way when it's france. you look the other way when it's spain and portugal and the US, and suddenly egypt is being generous to women and black and queer communities and no one thought to let me know! do i have to point out your ethics are exclusive to a narrative that keeps countries like argentina subjected to the global north?
i guess, if our resources will eventually end up right around your corner, then it doesn't matter what we have to say! fucking zionist argentinians ugh
but racism isn't exclusive of argentina, and neither is zionism. it's regrettable, and certainly disappointing, that it's 2026 and we're still dealing with these issues. but to judge a single latin american country, with a different culture and a different approach to whatever you call race, for something that prevails in every.single.country is definitely a choice. because i have faith in humanity, i like to believe it's a choice being made for you, not by you, but americanisms can sometimes make me a bit of a cynic.
in the last few days, i had to read people saying they feel comfort knowing there are argentinian kids starving. i had to read people say they wished someone would turn us into a lake. argentina was once supposed to be the promised land as well. when you have a right-wing wave across rich-in-resources-latam, and trump implies to have financed milei's campaign, how is it not ringing any bells? what's stopping you, and the rest of the world, from seeing how easy it's been to dehumanise a country... that... hold on, all because of a supposedly "rigged a match"?
i'm not here to call myself a saint, but i value honesty. yes, there's racism in argentina. yes, there's zionism in argentina. but how is that a shock to anyone? the only reason why we're globally fighting back is because we refuse to settle for this archaic concept of what "normal" is supposed to look like. this hate train isn't a casualty. this isn't about messi's picture with trump. this isn't about our president being a zionist either. you proved you don't care about these issues as long as it looks like bellingham and it has an european passport, as long as spain is so considerate to say "free palestine" right before deepening their military ties with israel.
there's a clear hate campaign orchestrated to isolate argentina, so when they finally come to erase our culture and steal our land (and trust, they've been at it), it is never doubted by anyone. ever. it's happening right now. it's happened before. look at peru's recent fires near machu pichu. look at argentina's south, burnt to ashes by the israeli "tourist". look at what mexicans and argentinians have in common: our water is being sold to israel. and then you see england occupying our territory, and the US military on some secret expedition as well, and this has been looking a lot like El Plan Cóndor, and who the fuck cares about fucking racists argentinians? not you!
but this is a bigger truth: argentina has always been a problem. we're loud, we're proud, we're unapologetically south american. we're everything that remained from our indigenous roots, we're everything that joined in the mix later on. we think boot licking is a disgrace, and of course the first world likes their boots licked! we push our chests out, we lift our chins, and we dare the global north to tell us we aren't worth a seat at the table. we're progress and we're science and we're poor people achieving nobel prizes. we're borders erased, a country that in its constitution allows anyone who wants to be argentinian, to be argentinian. we're a country moved by resistance. it isn't uncommon to see an argentinian demanding mexicans, completely unprompted, to claim the land the US stole from them. i've seen palestinian flags in protests that had nothing to do with palestine in the first place. i've seen graffitis in walls, in streets, flags of settler countries burnt and stomped on the ground. el pueblo argentino naturally stands beside the palestinian resistance. but how could you possibly know that? it isn't a coincidence that you're not seeing any of this on social media.
I'll ask you again, how is it not ringing any bells?
I need to talk more cause you genuinely pmo. You're so close yet so far to getting it.
“You don’t care about racism. You don’t care about zionism. You don’t care about Cabo Verde and Egypt and how corrupt FIFA is.” That’s an insane conclusion to jump to just because Zya said she doesn’t like the corruption surrounding this World Cup and the favoritism toward Argentina.
Your team has repeatedly played dirty and aggressively, especially toward Black and Brown players, yet so much of it gets brushed aside simply because Argentinians on the team are a bunch of rich white people (MEN!!!).
“Because you look the other way when it’s England. You look the other way when it’s France. You look the other way when it’s Spain and Portugal and the US, and suddenly Egypt is being generous to women and black and queer communities and no one thought to let me know!”
Do you genuinely live in a different world? England, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, and the US are constantly criticized for racism. That’s been public discourse for years. People talk nonstop about anti-Black racism, Islamophobia, anti-Asian racism, discrimination against North Africans, police violence, and colonial legacies. None of those countries get a free pass. Argentina isn’t being singled out because it’s Argentina. It’s being talked about because of what’s happening during this World Cup and because of the behavior of some of its players toward Black people.
Stop trying to turn legitimate criticism into victimhood.
The hate your country is receiving right now is temporary. It’ll die down, just like it did in 2022. The racism Black, Brown, Asian, Indigenous, Queer, Muslim, and other marginalized communities experience doesn’t disappear when the tournament ends. They have to live with it every single day. But Argentina hate will die down.
And don’t even get me started on the pinkwashing toward Egypt. Every time a Muslim-majority country comes up, suddenly everyone becomes an expert on LGBTQ+ rights. Yet most of the people making those arguments couldn’t care less about queer people actually living there. They only bring it up when it’s useful for attacking Islam or Brown people.
France, England, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Argentina, and many other countries are racist and zionist countries. Take accountability for what your country has done. Don't make it about yourself. Use your brain. Your media literacy pisses me off because if you'd take the time to actually understand what people are complaining about towards Argentina then you wouldn't be here with your fuck ass coke rant.
