Bernardo Silva tweet controversy

[domalino]

Not sure you are aware how dictionaries work. There can be several definitions under one word, I used the first definition of the first link.

As I say, for a know-all, I am surprised you admit you weren't aware of that definition.

So lets get this clear.

You are now saying that there can be multiple definitions of racism and that you don't need to say you're of a superior race to be racist?

That's completely at odds with your original argument.

Has anyone yet explained how the tweet shows Bernardo believes his race is superior?

Are really going to pretend that you can't be racist unless you declare you think your own race is superior?

Why would I have to when the dictionary does it for me?

The dictionary doesn't do it for you, you don't need to believe your race is superior to be racist, and everyone fucking knows that already.

This was my IOS definition that came up and screen shot from my phone:

Try it for yourself if you have safari.

PS - editing after I have already quoted you is annoying as fuck.

Which is funny because you added this after I quoted you:

I'm fully aware the big dick thing is untrue from 20 years playing rugby and football.

Maybe that's my fault for replying too quickly but it's also funny because it implies that, from your own experience, the stereotype we were talking about is based on nothing other than skin colour.

But that's not the full definition is it?

The full definition says anything with racial discrimination or prejudice falls under the definition of racist.

So you don't need to believe your race is superior to be racist. Which we already knew, because it's obvious.

Not seen tweet and know very little about it but someone in the media said Bernardo was, 'a role model to millions' to justify their disgust. No he fuckin isn't.

There's a definition and then an advert for a cinema. If you can't understand how I would read that that make the initial comment based on that definition then fine.

Having read several other definition since chatting with you, I am now fully aware that there are other definitions.

Still not sure which of "racial discrimination or prejudice" the tweet falls under though.

Ok. Fair enough.

We both agree Bernardo is not a racist, that's the most important thing at the end of the day.

No, they’ll get round to dealing with him once they’ve finished looking into the monkey chants at Italian grounds

It’s us and our players so they will probably make an example
