Paraguayan Senator Celeste Amarilla insulted France national team forward Kylian Mbappé. She published the remarks on her social media page. A colonized Cameroonian stubbornly pretending to be French. Arrogant and made rich. Throughout the match he was nervous and terrified, just like his entire team. They couldn't score a single goal and won by pure chance, she wrote. The senator also said Paraguay's players should have slapped Mbappé after the Round of 16 match at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, in which France secured a 1-0 victory.

Oxford scholarships blasted for ‘racism against white students’
Sky News host Danica De Giorgio slams Oxford and Cambridge diversity scholarships that prioritise ethnicity over socio-economic disadvantage, calling the policy discriminatory. White working-class students are excluded from almost all Oxbridge diversity scholarships, analysis by The Telegraph has found. More than a dozen scholarships, bursaries and financial aid schemes are available to Oxford and Cambridge university students, prioritising their ethnicity over their socio-economic backgrounds. “I just do not understand this,” Ms De Giorgio said. “I feel like there’s a perception in society where if you're white, nothing’s ever racist against white people. “This is racism. This is point-blank racism based on the colour of your skin.”
