Mbappé responds to Paraguay senator's insults

French footballer Kylian Mbappé has responded to offensive comments made by Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla following France's victory over Paraguay in the World Cup round of 16.

After Paraguay's defeat to France in the World Cup round of 16, Amarilla made derogatory remarks about Mbappé, calling him a 'colonized Cameroonian pretending to be French, resentful, nouveau riche, arrogant and ugly, an idiot who didn't even learn to write; instead of mother's milk, he sucked coconuts and the most cultured thing he has heard in his life were chimpanzees.'

Mbappé responded by calling the senator 'incompetent, unworthy; blatant racism.' The controversy has drawn international attention with the United Nations reportedly intervening in the matter. musojam.blog
