Can't be bothered.
Apologies if I have though.

Aah. I see. It's not racist if you're being polite.
Silly me.

I'm referring to the Suarez incident, of course.
Suarez knew what he was doing!

Oh come on right-track.

Obviously bottom line is that any reference to race is technically racist. But you do get what we're saying though? Context, degrees, intent, target, comedy all play a part. Doesn't make it a good thing, but some are worse then others.

Not a scouser, I'm a liverpool supporter!

Who do you support?

I'd agree with you fully, if this was the 70's.

Edit: United

Come oooooon. All bad, some worse than others? A general joke VS insulting someone? "black" Vs "n word"? Bah, I know you actually agree, even if your principles won't allow it.

I said black and **** separately said, but combined is clearly racist?

Fine, black **** vs nword ****. One's still a lot worse than the other.

Yes, racist. But to be completely technical anything referring to race is racist.

If someone just got punched in the face by a black guy I'd overlook it if he said "a big black **** just hit me" not if he described it as "a nword just hit me".

This can be made up of individual players from English club teams only.
Including 3 subs.

Go...
