Bernardo Silva tweet controversy

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

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

Repost the racist parts please

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

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

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

Snowflakes the lot of them.

Snowflakes the lot of them.

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

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

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

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 Wong?

wait am I racist?

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.
