Samuel L Jackson Shares Post Labelling Argentina “One Of, if Not the Most Racist Countries in the World”

Samuel L Jackson has shared a post on social media that brands Argentina a “racist” country.

Jackson shared the post, originally made by the SEC Black Alumni Network, on Instagram Stories, before the FIFA World Cup final that saw Spain overcome Argentina’s gamesmanship to win 1-0 thanks to a Ferran Torres goal.

The Instagram Story, re-posted by Jackson, features an AI-generated version of his character Stephen from Django Unchained in an Argentina jersey.

It was captioned, “Dear Black People… Please do not cheer or root for Argentina to win the FIFA World Cup. Argentina has historically been one of, if not the most racist countries in the world.”

The post continued, “‘If you are a Black person cheering for Argentina, this is what you look like to me’. We hear you loud and clear.”
