    My wife mentioned this to me yesterday but I wasn't paying attention. So now I know what she was on about. There's no beef with France here that I know of. Might just be a football thing?

    I'd like to know the exact words that they sang because Argentine Spanish can very often be taken out of context.

    Very true, when I was in the que for Don Julio I was wearing a black polo, as I got called I looked to see what she put down on the list and she put "negro polo"

    I can see some being offended by that

    My wife has a girlfriend that she refers to as La Negrita and male friends known as El Negro. These are not insults, but terms of endearment, as you so rightly say.

    Context and local dialect are everything.

    The typical Argentina classisism variety of racism that anyone with heritage from Europe is better. Mock all the french players with parents from Africa. The song created by Argentina fanatics in 2022.

    I don't mind saying that many Argentines are openly racist, especially towards their Bolivian and Peruvian neighbours who they see as taking their work.
