It may seem like an unusual gesture of protest against racism, but selfies posed with bananas featuring celebrity soccer players and the hashtag #weareallmonkeys or, its Brazilian equivalent, #somostodosmacacos, have gone viral on Monday. The bananagrams are a statement of support for Barcelona and Brazil fullback Dani Alves, who on Sunday responded to Villareal fans throwing a banana onto the field as he was about to take a corner kick - an all too common expression of racist provocation in Europes soccer stadiums - by coolly peeling the fruit and taking a bite, before executing the kick. trib.al/uNL6Xqp
