🚨 Rayan Cherki delivers a powerful message on France's diversity and the unfair criticism he has faced over the years. 👏🇫🇷
🗣️ "Every human being is different and sees things differently. That is what should bring us together, not make us attack each other over every little thing someone does.
To be honest, I still don't know why some people dislike me. I can understand that I have a profile that bothers some people...
Maybe it's because my beard is too big, or because my skin is a little too dark.
When I look at the France team, it's beautiful. There is so much diversity and so many different stories.
That is what makes France strong today. ❤️🇫🇷
It doesn't affect me anymore because I've been in the spotlight since I was 15 and people have invented stories about me for years. I want to say this for the younger generation that will come after me.
I want people to say: 'Okay, that's Rayan Cherki, a public figure, but he's still a human being.' No matter what people say about you, the truth eventually comes out. It has already been coming out over the last two seasons.
I will fight for my neighbour and I hope my neighbour will fight for me. France today is made up of people from every background...
No matter your skin colour, ethnicity or origins, we all need to stand together." 🙏🇫🇷
