"Black footballers complain about racism, but they never date black women." - Vinicius' ex-girlfriend Jessica Tuga

According to her, racism exists not only against black people, but against white people as well.

Details: Vinicius Junior's former girlfriend, Jessica Tuga, commented on the recent incident involving Vinicius Junior and Gianluca Prestianni, claiming that the modern understanding of racism is one-sided and does not consider discrimination against white people.

She criticized black footballers, arguing that they themselves avoid dating black women and prefer to be with white women:

"These black footballers complain so much about the racism they say they suffer from, yet they always date and openly commit to white blondes.

They NEVER date or commit to black women. Why?

The answer is obvious and easy to guess.
So spare me these people's moral lessons!" Jessica stated.

In the case of Vinicius and Prestianni, the football world has split into two camps: some support Vinicius, while others defend Prestianni, insisting that the problem of racism today is exaggerated and used by certain people for their own gain.
