Patricio Borghetti is accused of racism against Halle Bailey, star of The Little Mermaid

Despite the fact that we are in the middle of the 21st century, racist and discriminatory comments do not stop, as Hispanic entertainment experienced once again on this occasion. This is how the Argentine actor and conductor, Patricio Borghetti, made a completely out of place comment to the new protagonist of “The Little Mermaid”.

It was on TV Azteca's morning show, “Venga la Alegria”, where the Argentine showed his few manners and his ignorance regarding discriminatory issues.

Well, it was during the visit of the North American actress, Halle Bailey, to the TV Azteca show, it went viral after the racist comments she received from Patricio, who was attacked on social networks for her comment about her skin tone towards the protagonist of the Live Action of “The Little Mermaid”.

Ay no, se sabía que iban a salir al menos con un comentario racista en Venga La Alegria:

«te juro que nadie de la sala estábamos viendo el color de tu piel». Y la musiquita conmovedora, como si la estuvieran halagando.

WTF; tantas cosas por decirle o preguntarle y ESTO. pic.twitter.com/F5xiw6W5GX

He mentioned Patricio, which was taken as a totally inappropriate comment. Well, no topic was being discussed about it, but about what the new version of this tape meant.

It is true that the aspect that the new “Ariel” did not stick to the original character from 1989, in which the cartoon was Caucasian, like the rest of the characters, generated a lot of controversy, since we cannot forget that it is based on a danish tale.

Given this, Patricio, who, by the way, it should be noted that he is considered white, tried to defend himself against the accusations of racism against him. But he did not manage to fix anything, on the contrary, he made it worse, because the fans went for his jugular.
