Dutch Airline Trolls Entire Mexican Nation With Tweet, Mexican Actor Hits Back

Quickly after the Netherlands' defeat of Mexico in the World Cup second round, Dutch airline KLM sent out a tweet wishing their country's opponent a safe trip back home.

The picture included with the tweet (which has since been deleted) featured some racial stereotyping in the form of a man with a sombrero and moustache on the departures sign.

One of those not impressed with the tweet was Mexican actor Gael Garcia Bernal, you'll probably know him from Y Tu Mamá También (highly recommended if you haven't seen it.)

Bernal was pretty forthright in his damning of the social media post.
