He's received major backlash from this, holy hell, SJWs need to chill.

If only he had one friend who studies humanities or social sciences at a university or who at least watches the news every now and then he wouldn't even dare to try stuff like this lol

People really are pathetically sensitive, with little going on in their lives if they get outraged by shit like this. Some people just want an excuse to be mad. And I think it's so short-sighted and small-minded to throw around the word 'racist' when someone is indeed best friends and close friends with more black people than white (which seems the case with Griezmann). (& It's utterly stupid to react like 'lolololololol i bet he'll say he has black friends!!!!! still racist!!!!', which the majority do in this type of situation.)

Racism is a display of your own race being superior to another right? Well literally dressing up as someone of another race is especially in this scenario, communicating: 'They are superior', more than it communicates the opposite - (I mean he's picked what he's picked because he has admiration for a particular, or in general, black basketball players.)

Do we really want to continue being off-limits with eachother, sharing none of our cultures with eachother, and doing everything we can to tip-toe on egg shells? God damn, I wish more people than not were amateur philosophers in their spare time so we could actually move forward with new perspectives. We need to become eachother, in an ideal world where that's possible. 

If i go running once in my life, am i a runner?
If i wear a woman's dress once in my life, am i someone who dresses like a woman?
If i paint my face black once in my life, am i walking around for the rest of my days communicating 'I'm racist!'?
Even calling someone 'Nigger' doesn't automatically make someone racist (which should go without saying). Sure, they may've just did/said something which pretty much everyone considers to be a racist act; but taking into account that person's black friends, their taste for black music, their support for black actors, and love for black footballers, and their lack of any actual malice, are they a damn racist? No. They're usually being a damn troll just using a buzzword to annoy people or tease a best friend (some people really have weird humour); and in that latter case, sometimes even trying to strip away the power that the word use to have, by normalising it (I'm not saying we should normalise it.)

Racism is real, and racism is dangerous. Griezmann is not nor has he just been dangerous.

Idiots, who offer 0 constructive dialogue on actually improving race relations, and instead throw gasoline on a fire the moment they see a flame. 
Victim mentalities are a comfy place to reside. But that's another rant.

The reactions to this make me admire again how far countries like Nigeria, Ghana are coming. Every. Single. Person from those countries who I've seen react, have been telling African-Americans '...You can't be serious? You think that's racist?...He's paying tribute...' etc. They don't yap on about other people creating their problems, or about people offending them. It's always the Americans who've oh-so-suffered and must be oh-so-such-heroes. I'm not saying Nigeria/Ghana are perfect, but they've taken damn strides when it comes to social media, and on another coin, general education & thinking. It's beautiful. I'm so glad they're connected to our game.

They come up with the funniest football pictures too; 'RT if you'd rather Plantain as your midfielder or Like for Bakayoko'etc

No. SJW has nothing to do with this. Look up on the history of blackface. What he did was wrong. It’s major ignorance.

Anyway, looks like he’d fit right in with those train lot, sign him up.

This is why it needs to be condemned as strongly as it was. How else will he learn? Victim mentalities? Blackface is wrong, and he got called out for it, end of. 

What do you want people to do, just leave him and not correct him about it?

He's from France, not some Eastern European country which probably never had minstrel tours. He has to know better.
