The Conguitos character is no different to Golliwogs over here, he should have known better and it was a hugely ignorant tweet. I don't think many were personally offended but you have to be called out and educated on shit like that. We all know it was a joke and he meant no harm.

You're not but we've already had people explaining to us why blackface isn't offensive and how household pets used to be named after racial slurs. It's been one of those threads.

All we need now is someone claiming they know X number of minorities in question who are totally not offended by whatever we're talking about. Then we can really get into it.

This sums up my thoughts perfectly.

It's an incredibly naïve thing to do. Bernardo knows he's in the public eye, he knows our rivals will try anything to gain the advantage over us. Why give them an opportunity?

The little Conguitos character really does have a striking similarity to a Golliwog. I'm surprised it hasn't been placed under more scrutiny.

Well to be fair, you wouldn't get away with selling things with that on the packet in the UK nowadays, but Spain and Portugal obviously have different standards. Let's be honest, Spain is the country where people celebrated Obama's presidency by blacking up ffs.

ignorant to the fucking snowflake community, as for education really, I'm sure he's learnt a valuable lesson, Twitter is full of fuckwits
