Paraguay senator posts unhinged racist rant against French Football player Mbappé. Then she demands an apology from him

The World Cup has not been without its ups and downs, but so far the rivalry between countries has been kept on the pitch. However, a particularly savage match between France and Paraguay saw an angry Paraguayan senator launch a vicious, hate-filled rant against French team captain, Kylian Mbappé.

Celeste Amarilla typed out a despicable rant on X against Mbappé following France’s 1-0 win against Paraguay on Saturday, calling the French player a “colonised Cameroonian, desperately trying to ⁠pass himself off as French.” She threw in a few more uncalled for insults, claiming that he was also a “brute who had not learned to ​write,” adding that Paraguayan players should have slapped him after the match, reports The Guardian.
