Mbappé Dispute with Paraguay Senator

The conflict began after Paraguay's elimination in the round of 16. Senator Amarilla made offensive racist comments about Mbappé, calling him a 'colonized Cameroonian pretending to be French, resentful, new-rich, arrogant, ugly, an idiot who couldn't even learn to write; instead of maternal milk, he sucked coconuts and the most cultured thing he's ever heard in his life were chimpancées.'

Mbappé responded by calling her 'incompetent, unworthy; blatant racism.' The United Nations has now stepped in to address the situation amid growing international condemnation of the senator's remarks. palladian.co.za
