I like that Argentina has qualified for this World Cup, because that will allow me to savor the invective that their fans will utter.
Aware of the exalted national creativity, the Argentine National Institute against Discrimination, Xenophobia and Racism has published a 21-page manual to prevent what it considers to be excesses. From the outset, he advises not to use the word black or the construction dark skin. You have to say Afro or Afro-descendant.
He also warns that the dark should not be appealed to when referring to negative events. He gives examples: “The luck of the team looks black” or “he bought the ticket on the black market”. Also be careful with other ethnic references. Example: “The player’s statements were those of an Indian; nothing was understood”.
Nor should we fall into stigmatizations such as “blacks are to run a lot”. Also avoid pronouncing positively on moves that involve allusions to war: “The rival is the enemy on the field of play” or “today it is kill or be killed.”
And ironizing about people’s physical characteristics, not even joking. We must promote “respectful approaches to bodily diversity and avoid ridicule and stigmatization.” You shouldn’t make fun of a player’s weight or his haircut. More examples to reject: “You’re too old for this sport” or “that referee is blind.” To finish, no “sexualizing or objectifying comments”. Here, the example they give is: “What a beauty, the fans of Croatia!”. Whoever wrote the manual did not choose Croatia for no reason.
I don’t plan to miss any Argentina game, while constantly refreshing the comments on the Twitter profile “Insult like an Argentine”. I hope they reach the final, because that way he will be on fire for more days, the shell of his mother! After so much gives me.
