No mate, my point is that, whilst this message caused no offence and is not racist, taking bo action would make it easier for actual racists, who do want to cause offence, to be more openly rasist.I think your point is, that while you meant no offence and I took no offence, somebody might have been offended.

It does this by blurring the lines of what we, as a society consider to be acceptable, allowing actual racists to easier justify their actually racist behaviour.
Yeah!I though it was more
"I may not be offended and you may not have intended to offend, but somebody else may think it is acceptable to do similarly and cause offence, and it is deemed unacceptable by FA policy to allow such potentially promoting actions"

But, like I've been saying, if no action is taken, the person intending to send that tweet, with malicious intent, now can justify his or her actions as 'just a joke' and point to Silva's tweet as being perfectly fine.
So what does the person being bullied do now? Because you can't really complain can you? when everyone has already said its perfectly fine, no racism here. Now you're just being a spoil sport, not being able to take a joke, which opens you up for more abuse.
