Bernardo Silva tweet controversy

[blueeeee]

Do snowflakes have a gender or do they prefer to be known as they or them?

What’s your definition of a snowflake? I’m not offended. I think what he tweeted was wrong.

White multi-millionaire sends joke tweet to black multi-millionaire who in the past has been filmed, along with other black and mixed race multi-millionaires, making the white multi-millionaire the butt of practical jokes, which he takes in good humour. White multi-millionaire is a racist.

You’ll find a sense of humour works well posting in here :)

Oh I know what they were doing. The poster replied with irony and stereotypes about people who speak when they think something is wrong, and I replied without that.

I hope you are not implying you are more offended than me? Do you know how offensive that is? Not surprising in view of the lurch to the right this forum seems to have taken, and frankly this thread is symptomatic of that. Anyone that denies the racism of this tweet might as well be denying the holocaust or climate change.

So now you deny my rights as a woman to be offended? Typical mansplaining nonsense.

This has nothing to do with this subject. You’re trying to stereotype me as someone who gets offended by everything just because I have a different opinion to you.

I think if people weren't so easily offended on behalf of other people, everything would be so much better.

Well your post offends me because it may offend those too frightened to post they are offended it case it offends someone.

Oh and Mazzerellis Swiss Cheese is a big girls blouse. I can post that because he isn't logged in at the moment and therefore cannot be offended.

Had Bernardo seen the advert?

I don’t know, but he knew about the character so maybe.

And you seem to think you can talk down to me because I'm a woman

It comes across as a cultural issue.

Our country "being woke" are finding offence in something that isn't there.

I think there is a different understanding in some countries as to what is risky to say. Only this week a lad in my work who supports Lecce from Italy, was telling me that one of their support clubs made a video that made out that a Senegalese striker had a third leg, obviously in reference to supposed penis size. Didn't bat an eyelid and couldn't seem to understand when I said you'd never get away with that in England.

Mendy has found this funny but Bernardo should have more sense. We know it wasn't meant in negative terms but it doesn't stop the pack from getting the pitchforks out.

I'll be offended if I like thank you very much.
