Mohamed Katir is one of the names (and surnames) of the moment in Spanish athletics, after beating three records in a month. On the 13th, the Murcian athlete became the 3,000 Spanish record holder meters with 7: 27.64 ending with a mark that has remained 23 years in the power of the Palencia Isaac Vicious. Sadly though, Katir has made headlines in recent hours for something else: by their surnames. And it is that Viciosa reacted to her last brand by assuring in a interview on the web Runner what would you have liked “that an athlete with Castilian surnames had beaten him”.
Those athletes who prefer “more traditional surnames” how will they handle having a king with French surnames.

Later, Katir He responded elegantly on his social networks, as he has collected Europa Press: “For those who do not know whose surname is, it belongs to a great man of Moroccan origin, my great motivation and an example to follow: my grandfather Mailud Katir”.

After the controversy, Isaac Viciosa published a “explanatory letter” asking for “forgiveness” and assuring that it is “very shocking” what is it “branded as racist or xenophobic”.
The controversy, which is very reminiscent of another move by Abascal with surnames, has left hundreds of comments on the networks, reopening the debate on xenophobia:

That Isaac Viciosa says that it does not matter if Mo Katir is Spanish and also a crack in his own way, that He is not worth it because Katir does not have Castilian surnames.

I already have a new hobby for these Tokyo Olympics: seeing Spaniards win, but more enthusiasm if they have surnames like Katir and McGrath that drive identitarians crazy.
Own the castizos.

Perhaps it is not politically correct, but I would have liked the monarchy to have been inherited by a king with Castilian surnames.

What will Isaac Viciosa think of the surnames Ortega Smith?

Hermann Tertsch is an MEP, but I would have liked someone with Castilian surnames better.

Mo Katir perfectly represents the values of sport, effort and improvement.
The same thing happens to Viciosa that Monastery is bothered by certain foreign surnames, I don’t see anyone telling Ortega Smith that we would like him to have Castilian surnames. pic.twitter.com/v7A28ceVfb

Is that to be Spanish you need, at least, at least, at least, pulling low, 8 Castilian surnames and carry the flag of Spain marked with hot iron on the scrotum pic.twitter.com/WKM5IFxpTv

On the other hand, if they ever make the movie of the 8 Castilian surnames, I don’t think any of them are Vicious

“For what could have made him feel bad.”
And to think that I got off a bus to ask Viciosa for an autograph …https://t.co/wlI2QedhT3

Mo Katir does not have a Castilian surname; has a Spanish surname.
