punk_in_drublic Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 If I was playing in Africa and someone shouted go back to Europe, I'd feel a little racially bruised. Especially if 90% and over of the people around me were black and not from Europe. The fact that's it's simply "Africa" makes it a bit racists, because it shows a lack of intelligence and a disregard for individuality by simply grouping him in with a continent of hundreds of millions (possibly billions). That's why I would view it as mildly racist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
something else Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Ok I didn't realise the guy wasn't African so I apologise, but I still don't agree that telling a European to go back to Europe or an African back to Africa is racist. Anyway back on topic, when is mcmanus's appeal due to be heard? Is he available for Saturday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yassin Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Ok I didn't realise the guy wasn't African so I apologise, but I still don't agree that telling an African back to Africa is racist. It's highly xenophobic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzie Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Whether it's racist, xenophobic, neither or both- a guy who would shout something like that is an absolute weapon and should have been turfed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Well is he African? If I tell Josh law to go back to England cos he's an imposter is that racist? English isn't really a race, and there is a wee bit more context to racism related to little things like slavery and being lynched because of skin colour.

The African Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Nobody ever shouted at me to get back to Europe when I worked in Africa, though I reckon some of my employers thought I was an imposter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ONeils40yarder Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 It would have been more accurate if he shouted 'go back to Bradford or Solihull ya imposter'... yes I think its racist comment from the said drunk individual but lets not draw it out of proportion. We dont have a racism problem at Fir Park, in fact I reckon our support is to nice to the opposition...Just look at when Peter Pawlett was shoulder charged into the East Stand by one of our players...one of our supporters very kindly picked him up and patted him on the heid ...in years gone by he'd have got a grogger in the face, a pepsi cup chucked on him or at worst slapped about a wee bit. Soft as shite these days though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 How is shouting "go back to Africa ya imposter" racist ?? Are you serious? Maybe you can ask the court that when you get arrested. By the way Shay Logan is from Wythenshawe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 By the way Shay Logan is from Wythenshawe. Africa would be trading up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Erwin is a fuckin bombscare.... If your a striker your judged on goals....hes missed 3 sitters in a row. He's made, what? Five starts this season? 21 years old? Maybe we should give him a bit of time before giving him pelters, no? If I was playing in Africa and someone shouted go back to Europe, I'd feel a little racially bruised. Especially if you were actually born in Africa but just happened to be white.
