About Messi, you are leaving out the fact that he only said that as a response because Netherlands' players were encircling and saying things to Argentina's players during the penalties. Messi is precisely an extremely respectful player compared to others.
I've lived both in Europe and Argentina and I can say for sure everyone in Argentina is much more warm, homely and accepting of other nationalities than what I've seen in other countries.
It is always great to take a look at the following paper: “Cultural Biases in Economic Exchange?” [1]

Hint: They were not repatriated back to Africa
It is important to highlight that the extremely few black people that exist today in the country is living in a society that not make any racist difference.
On the other hand many indigenous people like Qom [1] are abused by politicians themselves which don’t represent general society views.
I spoke of two players from the French team, not French people as a whole. If I were to say anything about the French team though, I'd say they deserve oscars for their fake injuries to kill the clock. Again, not speaking of French people or fans, just the team and in particular two players.
Saw how Argentina's goalie celebrated and agree it was in poor taste, but that does not discredit the points made in my original post regarding their team functioning as a well oiled machine rather than separate components in an incomplete machine.
What Messi said to Weghorst, hard to tell when there's one perspective given. What was reported as being said seems wildly unlikely to have sparked such a reaction. So, until more accounts from other sides are given to paint a duller picture, what was reported seems bias as hell
Who knows what all went down, but definitely not as simple as he was being asked to exchange shirts. He had to of been either instigated prior by the other team/another player or fuming from bad calls
