    The Romans enslaved them, Visigoths enslaved them and the Moors also enslaved them. Not sure why they are pretending their ancestors weren’t enslaved.

    I’ve seen worse. Our president made a slight mistake and misquoted a book by saying “Mexicans came from Indians, Brazilians came from the jungle, but we Argentines came from the ships, and the ships came from Europe. So of course I love Spain”

      The quote is made even worse by the fact that is straight-up wrong too, given that Argentina has as much non-European ancestry as Brazil in terms of genetics. Lots of Argentinians came from the natives too.

        Argentina is just as non-European as Brazil is, they just have native ancestry instead of African and are a little farther away from the ecuator.

      I start to see why many people say Argentinians are racist. At first, I thought it was like any other countries but this is a bigger level.

        They basically see themselves as Europeans rather than South Americans, as I understand it.

        Just take a look at the thread when the brazilian police attacked argentinian fans in the stadium a few days ago.

        Obviously a horrible occurence, but the amount of Argentines that denied any kind of racism problem/racist history in their country was outrageous, and anyone opposing their lies was downvoted to hell

        They could very well also use “King Filipe, descendent of inbreed royals” but you know they won’t and you know why.

    It’s referencing his Quilombola roots which is a specific group of people in Brazil that descend from escaped slaves.

    This title must’ve gone through so many hands before being published and still got published without anyone thinking the title was the slightest bit racist.

    Obviously is wasn’t meant in a racist way imo, it’s because he comes from Quilombo, it’s just really stupid, and it’s really weird they decided to focus on that

      Dude are you black? if not, why the fuck do you think your entitled to decide what racism towards black people, really should mean? Describing someone as a slave descendant in this context, because his family 100years(!!) ago was a slaves is absoloutly fucked.

      I have a good friend who is black, his family is 100% descendant of American slaves, as much as you can be.

      As a native American/white dude. I would never, never refer to him a descendant of slaves.
