Professional footballer declares that he is gay

Re: Professional footballer declares that he is gay

you've garnered all of that from a song that has 9 words.

To be fair it wouldn't hold any of the bite it intends to if the insinuation wasn't that being English is worse than what the chanter believes everyone accepts as to be the lowest of the low; but you know that!

Re: Professional footballer declares that he is gay

Do you think I’d rather be p*ki than a Turk is racist?

depends on whether you think either are somehow lesser than you. If you're racist, then you'll see it as a racist chant. But if you believe that all people, irrespective of race, colour or creed are equal, then how can it be?

Gabbs has hit the nail on the head. the song isn't racist per se, its designed to wind up the opposition.

temper temper. if you can't construct an argument in a lucid and coherent manner then perhaps you should leave it to those of us who are a little more civilised.

No no it's racist.

I didn't understand how you couldn't see past Sludge citing a Hindu being upset and uncomfortable by it when it clearly would have the overtone that the person singing it believes *Asians*/*something Asian* to be inferior/something to detest; Indeed I'd say you were guaranteed that anyone stupid enough to sing it wouldn't know which denomination wore a turban its general tone is that hateful.

Re: Professional footballer declares that he is gay

You really are making a dick out of yourself here

That song being sung gets heard by a young Indian lad working as a steward , he tells his mates , he and his mates don't come anymore

Do you think Asian people should have to listen to this song at football or rugby matches ?

Should they just ......toughen up ?

You are an idiot

You told us once, a single post back.

I'll ask again, why would a hindu be upset over a song about a turban?

Yeah it's lost on you, I do understand that it is, I don't understand how it is.

its not lost on me at all. I'm asking why would a hindu get upset about something that has no cultural reference to them as individuals?

It's a racist song using the apparent low social standing of Asian people to wind up the opposition

It's clearly a racist song

As this thread has developed you are the only one arguing the toss that it isn't or if it is .....People should grow a pair of balls ......etc etc

You are making yourself look like a complete arsehole and coming from me that's saying something
