Following France's victory over Paraguay in the World Cup round of 16, Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla made offensive comments about Mbappé, calling him a 'camerunés colonizado, que se hace pasar por francés, resentido, nuevo rico, arrogante y feo, un idiota que ni siquiera aprendió a escribir' (colonized Cameroonian who passes himself off as French, resentful, nouveau riche, arrogant and ugly, an idiot who didn't even learn to write).
Mbappé responded by calling the senator 'incompetent, unworthy; blatant racism.' The United Nations has reportedly intervened in the escalating controversy between the football star and the Paraguayan politician. newsbetting.bond
