When analyzing Virginia’s response, Bhasin highlighted that the moment could have been better used by the influencer.
“It’s hard to defend that. Virginia missed an opportunity to say other things that would have been more interesting for her answer. I understand she was just a few minutes away from entering the mini-show, which was quite a challenge. Maybe she didn’t think of a good answer.”
Then, the columnist also noted how the answer sounded to the audience and how it ended up enhancing the controversy.
“But from what she said, she practically called him ugly. There’s no way to question that. She could have talked about other things, which would have been more interesting. Mainly because most of the attacks on Vinnie Jr. have racist content. A lot of people talk about his appearance because he’s a black man. And many of those comments are biased and racist.”
Lucas Pasin also pointed out the central point of the discussion: the weight of Virginia’s voice and the space she has on the networks to drive relevant conversations, especially when it comes to racist attacks.
“Virginia could have used her voice, which is huge, to talk about this. To talk about these attacks on Vinnie Jr. having racist content. She gave a very bad answer, to a question that opened up the opportunity for her to say very important things, including defending her boyfriend.”
In the end, Bassin stressed the need for care and preparation when dealing with the issues that permeate the relationship between spouses, as Vinny Jr. is a character who faces repeated episodes of racism in football.
“It is very important that Virginia is now paying attention to striving for racial literacy. Mainly because she has a relationship with Vinnie Jr., and because he is someone who experiences a lot of racism in football and fights it. This has to be her fight, and she also needs to fight more, to be anti-racist.”
