You’ve got to be a particularly sad sack to be getting het up over a song that’s not that controversial from a Spanish point of view.

Gibraltar is a weird little place.
 
Guys, you are not spanish and that's why you don't understand this.

"Gibraltar es español" is not an innocent song in Spain.

"Gibraltar es español" is the rancid song, typical of rednecks who have in their mind that England is an enemy.

It is a song that is completely unnecessary in Rodri's mouth. YOU HAVE TO BE GRATEFUL TO THE COUNTRY THAT HOSTS YOU.

That's sacred.

You have to be an idiot to sing that as a player for an English team.

Even if you love them, you have to admit that it was terrible.

correct. too many people are happy to see stuff like this as laughable.

wonder if city will do anything over the song?

I Still remember the Argies team holding a banner before a game about the Falklands still being theirs.

The difference is that in Argentina thats very general. 90% of people say it.

"Gibraltar español" is a more minority thought, feeding on myths: England is a traitor nation faithful to "the jews", Spain is faithful to Catholicism.

England and "the jews" are guilty of the spanish black legend.

That black legend is hypocritical: the English killed Indians and the Spanish built universities for them.

English language is a shit. Spanish language is latin and cool.

Blah blah blah.

It is a very compact, hackneyed and formed speech. A discourse basically born of envy: the Anglosphere dominated the current world, and the Hispanosphere did not.

Daniel Carvajal is the archetype of supporter this speech. And Daniel Carvajal is jewish. The surname Carvajal is Jewish, and he follows the Jewish religion.

Human beings are full of complexes, contradictions and frustrations. In Latin America there are people who say they are European, lying to themselves. In England (true story) a Pakistani taxi driver tells a Spanish immigrant that the Spanish have to leave England because there are so many of them.

But I believe that there are most of us in this world who know how to respect other cultures.
