Double standards and hypocrisy everywhere I find it funny that someone still always makes this point on any thread about racism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racism is on a whole different level though. No one ever didn’t get a job, or had to sit at the back of the bus, or got linched, or enslaved, or beaten, or ritually humiliated on an institutional scale, cos they were ginger. Or a slap head. Or had four eyes. Youre effectively saying that anyone who calls a footballer a hurtful name should be treated the same as a racist. Personally, I would treat a racist by stringing then up by their ankles. Which might be deemed a bit harsh for someone calling the ref a blind bar steward.

Why do we treasure reds in the animal world eg red squirrel and victimize humans with this colouring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
