He might get the piss took for being a ginger but not for his skin colour. Laughing at ginners is socially acceptable though, they smell of piss.
Serious question,why is it acceptable to mock a persons hair colour but not their skin?
I think it may be because there is no association with any other derogatory facts.
Your ginger, so you have orange hair, so look 'funny' (To be fair I like red headed birds.
But racists generally associate being black/other ethnic races with other derogatory ideas, like black people steal etc.
Anyway, Ferdinand is an idiot, not only for the shit he put, but why would you even acknowledge any sort of ethnic 'discussion' in a opponent forum, after such a massively public situation which he is so closely linked. He has not only made himself look a twat, but has puts fuel to the fire and lessens the efforts for people who do truly try to eradicate racism from the game.
