With the Lukaku chant, many people see that as a compliment, so they don't see that as being racist and they certainly wouldn't consider themselves as racist. These are nice people, who just happen to have lived their entire lives within a culture where it is the norm to portray black people as animalistic powerful and Brutish and white people as intelligent and civilized.
It is tings like this that probably contribute to the ridiculously small numbers of black managers in the game.
That rapidly has changed/is changing.

Look at the music scene kids grow up listening to now

"British and white people as intelligent and civilized"

I would ask how white British people have been portrayed in the media over the past year.

Working class people being abused continously over the brexit vote.

The ST Georges flag abused so much it can't even be flown without cries of nationalism

It is a fact abuse of any kind aimed at black or non whites has a separate set of rules to the rest. It is taken far more seriously
