French footballer Ousmane Dembele's photo taken with his family drew attention due to a discriminatory comment made on social media. The happy family frame of the star footballer eating by the sea with his wife and child became the subject of a user's post targeting religious beliefs.
HE TARGETED DEMBELE'S WIFE'S CLOTHING
In the shared photo, it was seen that Dembele's wife preferred clothing that covers her face. A user on the X platform shared the family photo and used discriminatory expressions toward Muslims. The user's post included the statements, "Dembele's wife cannot even show her hands. How scary Muslims are."
INAPPROPRIATE COMMENT ON THE HAPPY FAMILY PHOTO
