Bernardo Silva tweet controversy

[mosssideblue]

Where are the offended community on here?

Are they the ones so upset that someone has been mildly criticised for stupidly posting a racist joke on a public platform that they've started arguing against a group of people who aren't even present in the thread?

Some of you are crying about snowflakes whilst simultaneously getting yourself in proper tizz.

Gen Q mate and I ask because I don't know the answer. Why do you consider it racist?

Some right racist twats here. Stupid thing to post, stupid thing to defend.

But calling people racist twats is acceptable.

Please repost the racist posts so we can get the people banned

I appreciate you asking the question but it's been done to death on this thread already.

its a bit blown up this tweet. I see Mendy himself didnt complain much and knew it was just a joke and not a racist tweet. IF the person in which the tweet is directed at sees it like that then why do other people that its not about jump in with the racist card. I just dont get it.

just because Mendy found it funny, doesn't strip people from the right to be offended at it does it? you could do a joke about a Chinese man TO a Chinese man who might find it funny, but another chinese man overhearing might not, who's in the wrong?

Careful. They might not get offended by racism but they'll certainly get upset if you call them racists.

Shame on you if you think it was racist. Will the last one to leave this soft arse country please turn out the lights.

You don't think using the word "chinky" as a punchline isn't racist?

Snowflakes the lot of them.

Everyone just needs to stop pretending like they don't have buttons that can be pressed.

Fair enough.

I just feel that as soon as a colour of skin (any colour for that matter) is involved, it automatically becomes categorised as racism (am I allowed to say the decision becomes black or white)and, if that is the definition without context or meaning being considered, then the world imo has gone mad

What year would you like to go back to, out of interest? Before or after the Macpherson Report?

I was looking for your explanation as you tagged it racist, but no sweat

I seriously believe people have become so sensitised by society today that they take offence very easily.

Yes, I did, along with countless other people. If you're desperately need it explaining to you, ask one of them.
