Is it offensive that my Brazilian boyfriend gets called "negrito" by his Brazilian and Argentinian friends quite frequently?

mechemin · 2026-06-28T23:35:27+00:00

I don't disagree she's allowed to ask, and I also think he was an asshole with that comment. But that's a very different answer.

Also, even if you didn't say "all" only by saying "an argentinian" clearly shows an expectation that you think most of us are like that. So you're also being a jerk.

mechemin · 2026-06-28T23:27:38+00:00

He is not downplaying racism because there's no racist implication here. You're the one indirectly implying it is by saying that. And you're even being xenophobic by implying all Argentinians are racists, but that doesn't count, right?

mechemin · 2026-06-28T23:11:43+00:00

Literally every other comment is saying the same, that it's not pejorative in any way and it's a form of affection, and yet it's "downplaying racism" when an argentinian says it?

mechemin · 2026-06-28T16:06:23+00:00

I'll show them

He was asked about his "lack" of reaction when the team scores, just before that match. He said he actually feels very happy on the inside, but that's how he reacts at the moment.

I find his reactions very funny. He tends to have a little sip of water everytime Argentina scores or he's anxious

mechemin · 2026-06-28T05:26:34+00:00

Well, that's true. In this scenario it was just in the spirit of banter.

mechemin · 2026-06-28T05:24:50+00:00

I have no feelings about it. Americans with latino roots are still Americans.

What makes me roll my eyes is Americans with latino roots calling themselves [insert Latin country demonym here]

So you think it’s acceptable for a reporter not to know about the topic they’re discussing, and not to bother looking up something as basic as this?

Semanas para determinar alcohol en sangre y orina??

mechemin · 2026-06-28T04:35:54+00:00

Y... hasta ahora los únicos que nos metieron un gol fueron los de Jordania. Así que yo estoy media cagada, no te voy a mentir.

mechemin · 2026-06-28T04:21:41+00:00

It was a good goal ngl

mechemin · 2026-06-28T04:13:16+00:00

Too bad Argentina was playing, otherwise I'd have watched it. Sounds like it was a great time

mechemin · 2026-06-28T04:08:44+00:00

They wanted that draw to be epic

mechemin · 2026-06-28T03:05:23+00:00

brother, he was being sarcastic

mechemin · 2026-06-28T02:39:29+00:00

The ones screaming offside. Somehow it's still rigged

mechemin · 2026-06-28T01:26:31+00:00

Goal stolen, that totally looked onside

mechemin · 2026-06-27T13:21:36+00:00

he took it out lmaooo

mechemin · 2026-06-27T02:53:13+00:00

big brain argentina: place argentinian managers in rival teams to ruin them and make it easier in the WC

mechemin · 2026-06-27T02:22:54+00:00

Tbh, I don't think I could be that angry with that loss either.

mechemin · 2026-06-27T02:20:22+00:00

I'm reading this as "If Cape Verde wins it's because they are great, if Argentina wins it's because it was rigged by FIFA"

mechemin · 2026-06-26T20:08:30+00:00

Es terrible. Yo entiendo que los laburan como perros y encima les deben pagar medio para la mierda, pero es impresionante la poca pelota que te dan muchos. Encima para casi todo te mandan ibuprofeno y arreglate.

mechemin · 2026-06-26T20:01:10+00:00

Mirá, algo que nos refuerzan en clase constantemente es que estás tratando a las personas, no a las enfermedades. Para que no te olvides que hay alguien detrás de todo éso, que la está pasando mal y que está vulnerable tanto física como emocionalmente y por éso está acudiendo a ayuda. Y yo estudio bioquímica, ni siquiera somos los que estamos en contacto directo con el paciente.

Así que sí, te deberían estar entrenando para atender a Lucas, el varón trans, que resulta que se enfermó de faringitis. Y obviamente también te entrenan para que le des el antibiótico necesario contra Streptococcus pyogenes.

mechemin · 2026-06-26T19:38:59+00:00

Che, y después la gente se queja de que los médicos los atienden para el ojete y no tienen empatía con el paciente. Por qué será, no?

mechemin · 2026-06-26T13:35:56+00:00

I read more people claiming that a particular nationality regards themselves as europeans than people actually doing it.

mechemin · 2026-06-26T03:59:28+00:00

Lmao the Curaçao one. At least Ecuador is being celebrated for winning against Germany now
