It was similar to the post on here but a tad more obviousQuote:

As has been noted its enlightening
There are connotations in the phrase. Plenty of people who use it may not be racist or bigoted, although plenty that do, are.Quote:

I will let you decide
Erol Bulut was born in Germany to German, German Turkish, mixed German Turkish parents
They may have described themselves as Turkish, German Turkish, mixed , etc
Do you think he's French of Australian parents ?
Make something up
Oh well there we go thenQuote:

And that his parents were of Argentinian descent .....insert your choice
And that saying we .....as in us .....don't want someone and he should go back to Germany? ......is acceptable
Because this is what you are defending
I'm not so sure. If the phrase had no history behind it then I'd agree. It's dodgy ground in my opinion.Quote:

And there's the issue. You and the usual suspect are putting words in people's mouths and distorting what was actually said.Quote:

So wtf is going on with Bulut?
Feels like the last few pages is the sort of nonsense Tan, Choo, Dalman and co have been arguing about instead of securing us a manager for next season.
With all due respect, I don't think you're going to find the answer on here.Quote:
