PSG vs Istanbul Basaksehir suspended after 4th official accused of racism

What if the bench was 5 black fellas and one white fella?

I genuinely think people are losing their minds over this.

Go over to the bench and point him out?

I'm just passing time without a strong opinion either way, because whichever opinion you have will be wrong to some people.

This is clearly wrong.

Romanian 4th official felt the need to identify someone as a black guy rather than just point and say that guy there.

Fuckinel it's a good job he didn't say the coloured guy

 

[mexico1970]

This is clearly wrong.

Told you so ;)

 

[Maly]

Of course it is.

Really? Can you explain how as I’m not getting it?

If 4 guys are sat on the bench, 3 are black & 1 is white & somebody asked me to identify one of said chaps, would I be racist saying it was the white guy?

Anyhow, I believe the 4th official has called somebody a ‘negro’ according to reports, which clearly is a racist comment.

That's the exact conversation I've been having with friends in the last hour. If it is racist, then I am completely ignorant to it and apologise if I've ever referred to someone by their skin colour. Which i have, many many times.

Systemic racism I think is what they call it? Racism that previously went unnoticed but is now at the forefront of all conversations.

Institutionalised racism.

Can understand why the coach got upset (nearly said black guy then lol) and it may very well have been a sly, racist comment or it could have been completely innocent...I don't think it's wise to have a strong opinion on this either way without having knowledge of Romanian so totally agree mate.

Seems he used the Romanian word for black which is "negru" The players and officials interpreted that as using the "N" word which is a lot different.

Yeah, seems a miscommunication issue rather than a racism issue
