Suarez gets 8 match ban

Everyone points out how hot we are on racism compared to the rest of the (racist) world (apart from America) but isn't that in itself racist? Or is it just xenophobic of us?
 
Do they? Are you sure you aren't making the mistake of confusing reality with something off RAWK there?

I take it you haven't been listening to hour upon hour of debate on this issue on the radio and media in general? Ask around if you don't believe me. The "all cultures are equal" brigade have been very quite on this particular issue. The thick cunts!

PS What's this Rawk of which you speak?
 
im almost tempted to watch the liverpool game tomorrow just out of curiosity to see if the fans in the stadium show their support for suarez in a similar manner to those online.
 
It's interesting how few black players Liverpool have - just Johnson isn't it? And Suarez himself of course. :D

King Kenny is clearly racist getting rid of Ngog and Babel those quality players. He also signed John Barnes, must have been an administrative error?
 
I'm not claiming I heard what was said. Just that no-one's accusing Suarez of being racist (apart from deareg).
I would love to be there to see the result if you walked up to a black man in Brixton and said hey "little black boy"

It's not racist to say that. People have said "hey Chinaman" to me when I was a lot younger (and less mean looking) I don't take that as racist. It's disrespectful but certainly not racist.

That is your prerogative, but it is racist.

Sorry but that's racism in my book. Like generalising the entire SE race is Chinamen.

It's like old Jamaican men trying to pick up young SE Asian women (stereotype but sadly true, it's like some kinda 'prize) by saying, "ere, ere Miss Ching."
The wife, family and our Japanese girlfriends get it all the time.
 
Well I didn't get racial abuse, just an ignorant persons way of attracting my attention.
I have a black mate who we all referred to as chink when we were kids, I would not dream of calling him that now even though some people still do and he does not mind, It isn't my place to tell him or you whether to take offence but I think to even use the word chink is racist.
 
yeah let's not essentialise it too much, saying something racist doesn't make you a racist in the same way saying something stupid doesn't make you automatically stupid.

infact I think Suarez is the kind of cunt who would use racist remarks simply to wind up another player, to try and gain an advantage.

I think the tendency not to make a distinction between racist, homophobic or sexist behaviours and someone being a sexist, racist or homophobes is problematic in that it makes people overly defensive and reduces the issue to a matter of policing language rather than examining underlying discourses that run through out society and aren't just in the heads of individual sinners.

I wasn't expecting anything so sensible from you. :)
 
my shits always bang on, you just don't recognise it as sensible when it extends beyond the parameters of your liberal sensibilities. :p
 
You say that shit in Moss side, Brixton, Toxteth or many other places to a black man and do you think he is going to give a shit whether or not you consider yourself to be a racist?
