Re: Possible racist gesture from Cardiff fan
Funny how your brain works, I'd never had gotten fat tits from that unless someone mentioned it.
Suppose we should cut him down now.

I've learnt a lesson here, it looked so damning

Guilty until proven innocent.
He is a lucky boy, but doubt he will get an apology- his life could have been ruined.
Re: Possible racist gesture from Cardiff fan
That’s why I put possible racist gesture. So glad it wasn’t.

I thought there was always something slightly incongruous about it at the beginning but couldn't quite put my finger on it possibly the way nobody around seemed to bat an eyelid. but it was difficult to see what else it could have been before the second video emerged.
I hope that guy has learned a valuable lesson to stick to the less ambiguous offensive gestures in future when dishing out random abuse to someone who is just doing their job.

I think everyone has learnt a lesson, including the guy himself.

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.

Tom Huddleston has put on a bit of bulk hasn’t he.

The guy in question is also undeniably tittist though

The dehumanising of these human beings has to stop.

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

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.

Re: Possible racist gesture from Cardiff fan
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?

Gosh, good job we were not the judge and jury

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
