If you think it’s a slur then you dom’t understand the meaning of the term. Or how argentinians use it, at least. No more facts for now though. Thanks for asking!
Oh yeah, one more thing, it’s funny how you’re just taken aback by the term by can’t even refute it or understand your own mental simplicity. I needed a laugh today :)
My grandparents lived in South America for a decade. They were called “Gallegos” every other day, which they were, because they were from Galicia. Argentinians specifically used the term as a synonym for “simpleton”.
I would like to know if you really think that a slur is the appropriate response to someone making fun of the Argentinian national team after an awful performance.
I honestly don’t know how you could be more mistaken. Given your condition, allow me to explain.
Gallego can be used simply to say that a person is from spain (regardless of where in spain). It is also colloquially used when someone does something very dumb or fails to understand something very simple. It’s directed at the action, not the person and even though it is related to spain, it’s not because we hat spain. Is it weird that we don’t consider it offensive or a slur? Yeah. Is it the only “insult” or whatever that we use like that? Nope. The word “negro” is also used in so many ways that I can’t keep count.
In your specific case, you seem to fail to grasp the concept of people travelling to different countries without losing ther nationality. I clearly said that I watched in rome and spaniards barely celebrated. It’s obvious that I was referring to actual spaniards watching it in rome. But you keep repeating “rome isn’t spain”? Are you trying to tell me that you know first grade geography or just that you lack any sort of reading comprehension skills?

This is awesome he just can’t stop digging. My guy, you’re doubling down on top of your mistake of not understanding that calling someone a “Gallego” as an insult is offensive to people.
It is derogatory but not an insult. It’s what we call a “gastada”. The type of thing you say to someone being too naive, dumb, etc. If it gets to you that much, I don’t know what to say. It’s not that bad, get over it.
Literally typed that once.
You need to say it more than once to sound obtuse?
I don’t know what to say to this.
There’s nothing you can say. Yout tried the shoe on and it was the perfect size. Nationality matched and everything. Sometimes stereotypes exist for a reason xD

I’m from Galicia, in fact. And I know the history of the word. What a PoS you are.
What’s next? Any racial slur you want to share? Argentinian players sure love those.
Lol, it’s not my fault you’re honouring the meaning of the term.
Any other slur you would want to share with us?

My guy, it’s offensive because you don’t get it. It’s fine. I don’t care. I’ll keep using it and you’ll keep crying about it.
Yeah, and you are asking me why I would be offended by that, after you suggested that the term is derogatory.
Not really helping your case here, are you.
Literally typed that once.
I don’t know what to say to this. You are assuming some things that aren’t at all true, and projecting about the rest.
Are you OK?
