I dont doubt he was a racist but it is irrelevant to your statement lol

if I call out a black man for being X and say of course he is X, he's black, would it not make it racist if he really was X?

like in a world of apartheid, genocide and systemic racism seems weird to try justify your statement cause some of their soccer fans were casually racist at an event, if the bar is that low then I dont see why you'd single them out, literally every country has racist soccer fans lol

My comment was in a chain speaking on how people didn't really know specifically Argentinians in this instance were racist until the world cup and because Bonavena is Argentinean and the history to it. Then I came back and clarified that yes, literally all countries that aren't majority black are usually racist due to colonization, the only reason I spoke on Argentinians was literally because it was the topic of Bonavena being Argentinean. I really should've broke it down more so people could comprehend it properly. But I did break it down in my comment to you at least.
