Soccer, Sports and Politics - Part Deux

I thought it referred to playing cards. Regardless, I don’t recall anyone my age ever using it until recently when it was a wink wink nudge nudge alternative to the N-word.

 

This "spade" thing...

 

Exactly. Slowpoke Rodriguez calls Kylian an ape...

 

@Belgian guy
Do we have such "codewords" like "spade"?

 

Do the Dutch have "nicknames" for Indonesians (given it was a former colony)? If they do, you might want to look more closely at those as potential candidates.

 

Until there's a hill anyway.

 

Or

"Will/should not apologize for a song or for saying truths that others won't say"

I guess this is a thing with Argentinian Presidents and vice presidents think.

Now you need to go to Dunedin (NZ) and do the Baldwin Street gut-buster. I did it my final year living there and was very proud of the fact that, unlike the people to my left and right, I didn't collapse.

 

19 degree grade in its steepest section.

 

I’d run up it. Coming down though….

 

Absolute killer on the knees

 

Holy smoke…… that woman is not only stupid but she is clearly deranged. She is basically pouring more gas to the fire.

 

And now watch her popularity skyrocket.

 

Enzo Fernandez posted his apologies and that he is not racist but that clown lady VP jumped in to double down, charging and screaming "Yeah, we are ********ing racists, what are you going to do about it?". Way to go Argentina!
As an aside, this woman, Victoria Villaruel has publicly denied the disappearance of thousands people during the last military dictatorship. This is what you get when you elect far right yahoos.

 

Well on this very website, people on the Argentine sub-forum are arguing that the song is fine because it is just telling truths about the French national team. How they naturalize a bunch of African players with no ties to the country to improve their team. That's how I learned that the 19th arrondissement is apparently neither in Paris nor France.

 

Nope, if you by Indonesians mean the people of Indonesia.
Why would we, as they are on the other side of the globe and never were, like you with black Americans did have, part of daily life before or after the decolonization.
I strongly suggest not to call people in the Netherlands with roots in the Dutch Indies Indonesians. Those, who were born there and expelled like me, whether white, mixed or like most of the Moluccans full blood, because that generation and the next one born in the Netherlands are very (negatively) sensitive about that.
So, if you ment the Dutch Indos ( (not very complete) list of Dutch Indo celebreties: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Dutch_Indos)/Moluccans/Chinese..we had insultive names, not nicknames in the 1950-1960ies. Blauwen (blue ones), zwarten (blacks), kroepoek (prawn crackers), pinda (peanut, towards Chinese referring to the Chinese selling self made sweet peanut bars in the 1930ies), petjo(ek) (literally: fool).
These were, apart from the last one, petjoek, used in direct confrontations as insults, like in football matches. They were hardly ever used in white on white conversations as reference towards certain people.
Kaaskoppen (cheeseheads) is an insult towards Dutch whites, but I guess the Flemish Belgians are the only ones who use it in negative conversations about Dutch. The point with Dutch culture is that we appropriate an insult and turn it into a badge of honor.
A Southern Netherlands (now Belgium) nobleman called the Dutch 80 years War resistance gueux=beggars.
The Dutch turned the insult into a sign of resistance against Spain and used it to denominate/distinguish our fighting forces into Watergeuzen and BosGeuzen (landforces). So the insult "Blauwen" for instance was appropriated and used by the Dutch Indo pop duo Blue Diamonds etc.
The Indonesians/Indonesian freedom fighters called the Moluccan soldiers anjing hitams (black dogs), which the Moluccans appropriated by using it as a badge of honor.
However, these words arenot in use anymore.
The "spade" thing, if I understand it correctly, is used to "hide" one's racist feelings towards black people by not using a obvious racist slur like the n-word, but hiding behind a code word.
Afaik we Dutch have no use for such codewords, hence my question towards @Belgian guy.

 

Unless you do it this way?
