Black FIFA fans should not have been rooting for Argentina to win Sunday’s World Cup Final, honorary Oscar recipient Samuel L. Jackson declared on Instagram.

Jackson, who played Stephen, the manipulative head house slave in Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained, reposted a viral meme that features a photo of the character.

The text of the post reads, “Dear Black People: Please do not cheer or root for Argentina to win the FIFA World Cup.

Argentina has historically been one of, if not the most racist countries in the world.”
