Many supporters interpreted Van der Vaart's words as a clear display of racism:

"Micky van de Ven should have defended better during Japan’s corner. The player who scored with a header was left completely unmarked.

Although they [the Japanese] all look the same, so... That was a joke, by the way. I’m afraid to say anything these days…" said Van der Vaart.

These comments sparked a wave of outrage among fans worldwide, who are accusing the former Real Madrid player of racism.
