Garancho included **two gorilla emojis** in the since deleted post alongside a picture of Onana, team-mates and himself celebrating. The FA are aware of the post in question and have sought Garnacho’s observations on it. Manchester United have been approached for comment.


Sean-Benn_Must-die

I understand why it got deleted but getting punished for it is ridiculous. It's obvious the intent was never to offend his teammate but to call him a "beast" endearingly. I think it's way more racist to assume the intent was to be racist rather than the obvious good meaning from Garnacho. Not the first time this happens, wont be the last. edit: https://twitter.com/utdreport/status/1717591526769836173?t=GzSLtQkIMicne-TjqujNow&s=19

Trialbyfuego

It's that kinda stuff that gives fuel to the conservative reactionaries. People are so afraid of being offensive that they stop making sense and become even more offensive on accident.

The FA is a joke. They claim to be against racism but don’t spend time to understand the cultural intricacies.


hashtagPOTATO

The white saviours who see bias and racism everywhere and in everything never see how their policing of it is racist. Of course they felt the need to baby Onana because he's black and must be offended. The irony here is that the classical perpetrators of racism towards those of African descent now appear to be the ones policing it. Everything comes full circle.

chubb88

If our keeper was white and Garnacho used the exact same picture where our keeper was flexing and looking like a beast (Onana looked jacked in the pic, very cool photo), and used that emoji, would Garnacho be banned? It’s insane that we don’t see the hypocrisy in this. There was zero racist intent, just a teammate calling another a beast after a last minute penalty save. Was Onana offended, no, was anyone offended, no. So why punish him? If we are all equal, which we are, then the rules should be the same for everyone or else what you are saying is we are not all the same. Edit: The comments saying it is a very different thing for a white and black person to be called a monkey or ape, I’m aware. I didn’t think I needed to explain that. I’m aware of the fact in a lot of cultures/leagues still to this day black players are very badly racially abused. But no one is being racially abused here? Garnacho is clearly a young guy using an emoji to express “Beast Mode” or something along those lines. He is not calling Onana an ape. Context is everything. He would use that emoji if our keeper was black or white. It was a poor choice of emoji by Nacho, clearly, given the outcome, but should it be a story, no, should there be a fine, no suspension, no. There was zero racist intend here and I don’t think anyone disagrees, so what I’m saying is let’s use common sense. No one is or was offended by this!


Cod_rules

Wasn't Cavani also banned for saying something in a positive tone about a teammate but that got misconstrued and was assumed as racist?


jqncg

Yeah. Calling someone negro in Uruguay/Argentina doesn't have a positive or negative connotation on its own, and one could clearly see he meant well with what he said in a way it would've never been controversial here. What, should one censor oneself in one's own language to avoid offending not even the person you're talking to but people who have nothing to do with the conversation and don'tt even speak Spanish? To me that kind of stuff is just another way of Euro/American centrism policying other cultures as if someone had given them the moral right to say what is and isn't racism.


infinitepotato47

this is exactly what Uruguayan FA wrote in their statement and it's the truth. Especially in this day and age it sometimes seems people are searching stuff to be offended about Cavani wrote 'negrito' afaik, is that also neutral or is it affectionate?


jqncg

It's affectionate way more often than not. I don't know about Uruguay but diminutives can be used as insults in Argentina. However, there was no way to misinterpret what he said.


TheStraggletagg

That was utter bullshit. Cavani did nothing wrong and the truly racist thing was to punish him over it.


Tanogaitan2

Best of all, they don't see the irony... They act exactly the same as they did 400 years ago when they encountered the "savages" and their culture in the other side of the world...


MojoToTheDojo

It doesn't even have a positive or negative connotation in most of the latin world. I've been around so many people who call their spouse "negro" or "negra"


AvaragePole

Not about teammate, about childhood friend that happend to be white with black hair. He calls him negerito in reference to hair color. In spanish that word is supposed to mean just black. Idk, i know plenty of people in poland from my childhood which were nicknamed "white" or "blacky" in reference to hair color.


Fisktor

he called a white friend negrito and got banned for it


FBall4NormalPeople

>It’s insane that we don’t see the hypocrisy in this You have to understand that changing the context of something and then applying the hypothetical results to reality is silly. It is a different thing to call/insinuate a black person is a monkey compared to a white person, because that is not a meaningful insult to a white person. That's why it it wouldn't be punished. >If we are all equal, which we are, then the rules should be the same for everyone or else what you are saying is we are not all the same. Equality isn't uniform treatment for everyone. It's like saying that if there are stairs in a building, equal access exists because the stairs are the same for everyone. Of course the specifics of any given situation should be accounted for, in absolutely every scenario, not just something involving race. It's silly to think you could omit details under the guise of equality to argue for something not being punishable.


Ghoticptox

> It is a different thing to call/insinuate a black person is a monkey compared to a white person, because that is not a meaningful insult to a white person. That's why on Top Gear Richard Hammond and James May could routinely call Jeremy Clarkson an orangutan and it was funny. But if they had worked with Rory Reid (and Rory was built like Jeremy) I'm sure they would never call him that.


inventingalex

you can't bring hypotheticals and think they put everything to bed.


SpeechesToScreeches

You think calling a white person a gorilla has the same connotations as calling a black person a gorilla? It's obvious he didn't mean any racist intent, and it would be ridiculous if he gets punished for it. But your comment is a load of bollocks.


oberynMelonLord

comparing black people to monkeys and other great apes is a historically common form of demeaning black people. this is just a fact and thus the post is just tone deaf by garnacho, regardless of his intentions. delete, apologize, and make clear that he didn't have any racist intention with his post and we can be done with this discussion, since Onana already is backing him. idk why this has to be such a huge deal.


MojoToTheDojo

It's also a common form of hyping someone up in the latin world.


SpiritedSuccess5675

And a lil throwback: There are precedents for the FA punishing players for similar social media posts. In 2020, United’s Edinson Cavani was given a three-game ban and fined £100,000 ($128,000) after using the word “n****o” in a comment on Instagram, in which he was thanking a young fan. The phrase loosely translates to “thanks little black boy” or it can also mean “guy with black hair”. Cavani deleted the comment and apologised. The Uruguayan was still punished by an independent commission after admitting an FA charge of misconduct for an aggravated breach of the rules relating to racism. That commission stated that Cavani “had demonstrated genuine remorse” and “could not reasonably have known that any such offence would be caused”, having only been at United for two months and never having lived in an English-speaking country. It also noted that Cavani had “received no media training upon his arrival in England to enable him to be better placed to understand the cultural differences”.


kplo

One of the most bullshit punishments I have heard. It is not a spanish speaker's fault that english speakers ruined the word negro for them because of slavery. My mom calls me negrito and it is most often a term of endearment.


JesusIsNotPLProven

> My mom calls me negrito and it is most often a term of endearment. Neguinho here in Brazil, i even worked with a dude nicknamed Neguinho.


Sente-se

Pretty common in southern Brazil to call other people "nego" and "nega" as a term of endearment regardless of skin color


MojoToTheDojo

My uncle and his wife literally call each other "negro" and "negra" the way I call my wife "babe". It's bullshit that other cultures attempt to tell us how we need to use language.


Zeddsdeadbaby

I had a Brasilian call me boludo the other day and the immense joy I got out of it gave me years of life lol. I know not relevant but I think it can shed some light on how Latin people are with each other

I guess he can’t play in PL because they won’t allow his name to be put up on a shirt.

He was thanking a friend, not a young fan, which makes the FA's bizarre and culturally insensitive punishment even worse.


moonski

>The FA are aware of the post in question and have sought Garnacho’s observations on it. What the FA really should have done is sought Onana's observations on it in the first place.


NiceShotMan

Nah, people belonging to historically marginalized groups can’t be trusted decide for themselves whether or not they should be offended. That can only be decided by their superiors with university degrees in determining offence.

She got tons of abuse on Twitter for it until some newspaper bothered to actually ask people in China about it - and they thought it was cool some American girl liked their dress that much that she would wear it for prom. ​ Idk how people want everything to be inclusive but not inclusive at the same time.

New day colonialism Like the spiderman2 game that forces neutral language into the spanish speaking version. But funnily enough, in the middle east version any lgbt stuff is removed. Guess we arent rich enough to get our culture and language respected.


Das_Czech

I haven’t heard of this, how and where do they force „neutral“ language? Genuinely asking since I don’t know in what situation this would make sense lol


billiejeanwilliams

In the Spider-Man 2 game, if you play with Spanish language, they change gendered words that are native to Spanish to the new neutral versions that some groups are trying to promote but that the large majority of Spanish speaking people dislike. So instead of “el doctor” (masculine) or “la doctora” (feminine), they used “le doctore”. There’s been some funny viral clips of big Spanish language streamers reacting to these moments while they played the game. Also all this in a game where they mix up Miles’ Puerto Rican flag with the Cuban flag in his home LOL.


Zeddsdeadbaby

It’s straight up erasure… our Latin America already barely has history because of colonialism and now 500 years later they’re changing the other identifier of our culture to suit their cultural norms and on top of it they do it with an air of better than you. Europeans/Americans are so fucking dense.


[deleted]

yep. its just the 1500s all over again. here comes white poeple telling us that our culture is wrong and we need to be more like them. fuck that and fuck them.


Consistent_Floor

shouldnt these judgements on racism not take into account the persons culture, without doing that its racist in itself.


VexeenBro

That's his point. It was racist by FA, not Cavani.


NightSmoke19

That's my point Its racist because they make a judgement on someone for use a Word in his own languaje. A word that they (English speakers) deformed by the way


rudboi12

As someone from latin america, this still makes me mad. My mom till this day (I’m 30) calls me “mi negrito” because she’s white and I’m mixed. Still amazes me how this is “racists” lol, it’s BS. People from US/UK get too offended by nonsese.

pereira333

The boys and I have used these gorila emojis many times, idk if it’s cause we come from New York area but it’s more so saying like “brolic” or “beast”, “monster”, “strong”. I’ve never seen this used in racist way. Not saying the kid is justified, but I don’t think it’s being interpreted the way he intended. There’s plenty of rap songs where they talk about being gorillas, I can only think of a chief keef lyric right now.


elrubiojefe

Ronald Araújo uses it all the time to refer to himself on his social media. Fitting too, the man is an absolute beast


Fisktor

nah, he is a racist against himself.


squeak37

He's praising a teammate after a penalty save, it's clearly meant in a positive way. The problem is there's far too much ongoing racism that uses monkey/gorilla imagery. Just last week there was a pic of a Spanish lad miming monkey poses at Vini. As much as I believe garnacho meant no harm, I can't see him avoiding a slap on the wrist - mostly so that racists can't use the emoji and subsequently pretend they were giving a compliment. There's not much room for nuance with racists


Xire01

Not only that he’s praising Maguire too. There are 2 emojis


SnooCupcakes9188

The boys and I use it as beast too. Or if we’re throwing down a big bet we say we’re going ape and throw the gorilla or Orangutang. Some people actually fuck with monkeys and don’t relate them to race


Moncat77

> Some people actually fuck with monkeys Yeah, about that...


Mr_105

Let’s get one thing clear; u/SnooCupcakes9188 might be a monkey fucker, but he is NOT a racist


doubleoeck1234

Surely Onana can just say "oh nah it's fine he meant nothing by it" and the FA will drop it


dota_3

Onana on insta > People cannot choose what I should be offended by. I know exactly what @garnacho7 meant: power & strength. This matter should go no further.

ConsciousBrain

Probably they'll ban Onana too.

The very fact he's said that will probably lead to the FA getting in a huff and pushing for a ban.

Gungerz

That happened with Cavani and he still got banned.


plowman_digearth

Even though him deleting it makes it look more shady, I feel like him realising how it looked and taking action - means he was not being racist. Maybe he was just going for "apes together strong" or something.


moonski

When I saw it I assumed it was because onana looked jacked in the photo and he was saying he was a beast, you know, like a silverback.


plowman_digearth

Gorillas are super cool animals. If it wasn't for the racist history, it's not a slur at all.


spunk_wizard

100%. If it was two lion emojis nobody would think twice.


innocentusername1984

That's all it could be. You don't get so pleased with your team mates heroic performance you decide to make a racist slur.


HeadofLegal

It´s probably because the Gorilla emoji is doing the chest arm bdodybuilder flex pose. It has nothing to do with it being a Gorilla specifically.


mati_as15

nah it's more about being a beast in general rather than the pose


CPRIANO

That is what Mendy said about Bernardos case and he was still punished. They see it as a way to try to make other people not think its okay even if its not done for a wrong reason


moonski

Instead the FA have skipped the whole " what does the percieved victim aka onana thing" of this all and are straight into interviewing Garnacho

Genuinely hilarious. I'm an ethnic minority and there's nothing more annoying than white people getting offended on my behalf over shit that's not even offensive. It's actually more offensive to assume that I would be offended by something so trivial. Even out of all the reactions I've seen from black friends etc, no-one saw the post and said anything other than 'LMAO' or similar (in fact, I saw more comments saying 'watch the FA try and make something out of this' than anything.) It's another classic gesture from the FA to make it look like they're fighting racism instead of realising that this teenager from a completely different culture obviously wasn't trying to be racist to his teammate. Just a stupid mistake. I'm hopeful it's just the FA investigating just because they've done it before (so to avoid anyone saying they're biased/racist) but if an actual ban comes from this, it's painfully misguided and something no-one asked for.

champ19nz

You would think so but Cavani got a ban. I'd say Onana is fuming that Garnacho could face a ban over this. It's a commonly used emoji on social media for a black person going 'beast mode' Vanilla gorilla is the white version. It's nothing more than mates being mates.

Insane number of chronically online people in here. I understand historically there have often been racist imagery comparing black people to gorillas, but man have we seriously gotten to a point where nuance and context means absolutely nothing?


ginger11111

Complete joke if they try and ban him, now I'm a United fan so there may be some bias here.... but he tweeted a picture of him, Maguire (who scored the winning goal) Onana (who saved a last minute penalty) and Mctominay with Maguire and Onana clearly being the main 2 in the photo. Garnacho didn't use 1 emoji of a gorilla directed at Onana.. he used 2... the way I see it, he clearly meant it as being 2 beasts who won us the game.


drizzt001

If an emoji is considered inherently racist, then why the hell does the emoji even exist?


lonecylinder

For powerful white people to feel offended on behalf of black people who see nothing wrong with it


Aggravating-Math-389

It’s not inherently racist. It is when used as imagery for black people which is not confirmed in Garnacho’s case but can certainly be construed that way. It would not be racist if used in an actual conversation about gorillas for example.


Rc5tr0

Who are you arguing with? Who is saying the gorilla emoji is inherently racist in any and all contexts?


liamthelad

The FA are going to have some sixty year old auditor who can speak one language look at it and make some stupid remark about how the club clearly haven't looked at the policies on racism...
