Possible racist gesture from Cardiff fan

Re: Possible racist gesture from Cardiff fan

That's the problem, I assumed he wasn't racist because the goalscorer was white so it didn't make sense - but didn't feel comfortable speaking up incase I looked like I endorsed it.

No doubt 90% of all 'possible racism' is racism and we do need to stamp it out where we see it but we're breeding a culture where if you're not showing to be fully anti-racist at all times you may seem racist, as per this example.

Saying that, i've seen some of the facebook comments following that tragedy of the boat sinking and there really are some horrible racist ****s out there.

The dehumanising of these human beings has to stop.

That’s why I put possible racist gesture. So glad it wasn’t.

You also wrote

"Find him, prosecute him and ban him for life."

You are as guilty as Sludge, TLG, and a few others here of jumping to conclusions.

Wow, yeah i'm happy to say lesson learnt jumping to conclusions and seems apparent it wasn't a racist gesture after all - that first video looked pretty conclusive though so he's lucky the 2nd one came out.
Guilty by social media and innocent by social media in the space of an hour, what a world.

But you are glad that he was fat shaming? Is there a list somewhere where I can see which people it is ok to discriminate against, and which ones are not?

Possibly find him, possibly prosecute him and possibly ban him for life.

What do you laugh at and what don't you laugh at?

Genuine question.

He might have been complimenting him to be fair

Genuine question.

I laugh at you a fair bit.

Thank you, no offence taken.

So you don't like fat jokes, what else do you laugh at that someone in some far corner of the world may be offended by? Or don't you laugh at anything offensive? Squeaky clean.

Re: Possible racist gesture from Cardiff fan

I agree with this. Although I think it is nothing like 90%. I'd say the vast majority of examples (especially on the utterly vile platform that is twitter) is nothing of the sort, just the most powerful way to smear someone at the moment. It makes spotting and addressing genuine racism so much more difficult and people become scared to talk about the topic

I think the vast majority of things on social media that appear to be racism are indeed racism.
