Colombia sacks racist official after showing technical skills inferior to monkeys

by Adriaan Alsema May 24, 2020

Colombia’s ICT minister fired an official after an “on/off”‘ switch proved too technologically advanced for him, leaving his racist tirade against native Colombians on record.

Colombia’s indigenous have historically suffered racism, most recently from President Ivan Duque‘s far-right Democratic Center party, some of his supporters and far-right group “Aguilas Negras.”

Now-former ICT Ministry official Alejandro Plata, who apparently doesn’t know how to work a switch and broke the golden rule never to go on a racist tirade with the microphone on.

How about those motherfuckers?… They’re never going to change and will be miserable and ignorant all their lives, the assholes. I already hate these motherfuckers.”

This idiot doesn't realize there are right-wingers in this country who would hate him for being Colombian. Someone should let him know.

Right-wingers don't realize there are people in this country who hate them for sucking as much as they do.

Obviously he's ranting about political opposition from this particular group. But ranting while an official is of course different from ranting while a private citizen.
