    If you call someone Mediterranean,it’s implying Greek, spanish, south french and italian.Clearly Neymar is none of these cases.He looks arab, then should be called arab.Along the mediterranean sea live also slavs, jews and turks, you don’t
    call jewish guy a mediterranean, you call him jew,that’s the point.
    Now people say he’s beautiful and hot? Only his money turned him beautiful and hot.The same case with Michael Obama, people say she’s beautiful and elegant,wtf?
    If Michel Obama is beautiful and elegant then what you say to Monica Bellucci?
    There’s an universe of difference between Michelle Obama and Monica Bellucci.
    I’m not racist, I’m black too, my ancestors came from Adis-abeba.I’m black but not insane,that’s the point.
