Liam is as much a racist as I am a rag.
Nothing to see here.
Actually, most if not all people are "racist" to an extent.
I believe that most of us tend to judge people over much by what they look like, what they sound like etc.etc.
There's nothing necessarily wrong about this - so long as we realise this, and can learn to overcome our natural prejudices when it is necessary to do so.
And so long as it doesn't lead us to express our prejudices with a degree of hatred and contempt. It is that which worries me far more about some of the posters on football, and other, forums, than the fact that they might not find asian fans particularly appealing.
The history of humankind shows that it is far easier to stir up hatred between different peoples, than to put an end to any such hatred. Look at Northern Ireland, South Africa, middle East, Pakistan etc.etc.etc.
That said, football and other sporting rivalry might provide the most harmless sort of outlet for our propensities to hate. I'd much rather people hated others because they were rags, dippers, gooners etc., than because they were black, white, asian, jews, arabs etc.etc.
