City’s New Kits

Saw it today in the flesh. No thanks. But the souvenir store was rammed full of tourists, including lots of Hong Kongers buying the shirt.

Why does someone’s ethnicity need to be mentioned?

Think he was referring to their nationality rather than their ethnicity

How does he know they are from Hong Kong?

He could know, he may not know, unless you're implying far Eastern Asians look the same? He may understand a touch of Cantonese for all we know

Far from being racist, I read it as JRB simply using that colloquial expression for a idiot - Hong kong

Yeah my bad, point still stands though because I assume jrb saw some Asian people buying stuff and assumed they were ‘Hong Kongers’ - unless he qualified they were all from Hong Kong, or the term ‘Hong Konger’ was used to convey something else?

I’m not really sure what the big deal is with overseas people spending money and putting their cash into the club’s bank account? I think it’s poor form from a fan base who accuse a lot of our detractors of using veiled racism against our owners when we’re constantly moaning about tourists or having a pop at them supporting the club and buying merchandise.
