Mbappé responds to Paraguay senator's racist remarks

After France's victory over Paraguay in the World Cup eighth finals, Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla made insulting comments about Mbappé, calling him a 'colonized Cameroonian who passes himself off as French, resentful, nouveau riche, arrogant and ugly, an idiot who didn't even learn to write; instead of maternal milk, he sucked coconuts and the most cultured thing he has heard in his life were chimpancés'. newsindata.org

Mbappé responded to these comments, stating: 'Es una incompetente, indigna; racismo descarado' (She is incompetent, unworthy; blatant racism). The controversy has now drawn attention from international organizations including the United Nations.
