Bernardo Silva tweet controversy

[bluemooners09]

I sent my mate a pic of Shaggy out of Scooby Doo saying it looked like him, am I racist?

He's tweeted to the effect that 'no one got the joke'. Bet he's already regretting the first tweet.

A quick look at the history of the brand will tell you all need to know.

Terrible cartoon, first I’ve seen of it.

Is it a well known thing in Portugal?

If you saw the advert posted above for example that relates to what silva posted, scooby doo hasn’t advertised itself using racism/racist connotations now or In the past so no.

Whilst it can be conceived of as a stupid post, I've been told numerous times that racism is racism if the receiving party takes offence, irrespective of whether offence was intended. Surely then, the converse applies...if the post is actually 'liked' by the recipient, it's hardly racist.

This,if the one on the recieving end is not offended then no-one else should be

Except Bernardo posted it on twitter to millions of people, including many black people who don’t know him as well as mendy to know if it was a joke.

A tweet to Mendy, which mendy laughed at and tweeted back.

anyone getting offended by this is an utter, utter ****.

Can't see anything wrong with it,he is not going to say he looks like a white charcter is he?

Spot on Kaz, far too many people want to be offended these days.
