It wouldn’t be the World Cup without a little bad sportsmanship or racist stereotyping, would it?
Critics say Dutch airline KLM pulled off both p.r. offenses in one tweet, moments after the Netherlands netted two late goals in a 2-1 victory over Mexico on Sunday.
KLM tweeted “Adios Amigos! #NEDMEX” next to an airport “Departures” sign — with the image of a sombrero over a mustache. The offensive tweet was taken down shortly after.
KLM flies into 17 Mexican cities.
Mexican actor Gael García Bernal fired back a tweet in Spanish, which translated to, “I’m never flying your shi–y airline again.”
