Under 21 Football Racist's Remarks

[slimjim]

seen on new's that during the under 21 football game between England's team and Germany , that one of the young english player was called a monkey by the other player after a tackle ball, seem's that it's common with the crowd's too, thought the last war stopped that, yea right

[Postie]

why is that racist, did he have a tail or does he just like banana's?

As for the war ( I presume you are talking about WW I or WW II) I don't think the main objective was to stop racist slurs, and since you are refering to war, sport (in this case football) is a derivative of war, as since all is fair in love and war, then play on, get over it.

If you've spent time in the UK you would understand why this is racist not to mention fucking insulting

Ive lived in South Africa and we invented rasism. I suppose its like calling a Frenchman a Frog am I right?

I would say calling a black person a monkey is slightly more offensive that calling a Frenchman a Frog, it is also questionable whether this is racist as this is ridiculing a nation not an entire race.

Ahh, fair enough. So in the event I make a complete dick of myself at a later date. Why was calling him a monkey incredibly offensive?

[Lias]

It was poor form really..

I mean monkeys so ambiguous.. It potentially could be a non racist insult.. Shoulda just made himself clear by calling him a nigger

any professional sportsmen wouldn't let anything like that get to him, but saying that, things like that arn't needed.

Also they say those things cause they know the other dude will get worked up and do something dumb, e.g Zinedine Zidane.

So a white person can call a black person a monkey and its racist;
a black person can call a white person or a West Indian a monkey and its racist;
an American can call an Asian a monkey and its racist;
and in Australia, if you call anyone a monkey you are being racist to Aboriganies?

Thats nuts!
