NEGRO is not a racist word. The United States Census Bureau announced that “Negro” would be included on the 2010 United States Census alongside “Black” and “African-American” – does that mean the US government promotes and condones racism?
The trouble here is the judgement has been made by 3 individuals who probably have never experienced a second of true racism in their lives. They are a joke and disgrace to the United Kingdom.
THE FA OF ENGLAND IS THE RACIST PARTY HERE, NOT LUIS SUAREZ!
The England FA is rotten to the core, just like UMNO in Malaysia. Me. Ashfah loves Liverpool.
yup, racism is a subtle but difficult issue. when is the person perform racism gesture. let just say that someone with darker skin mocking (with racism tendencies) to a white man, could this considered as racism issue or only if the victim is darker skin? In Indonesia term “Bule” is usually use to white man, which is actually term to albino man. Is that racism to you?
Yup, just like UMNO, we have here GOLKAR, Ashfah.
I think the report is pretty clear. It is the context in which the word was used not the word itself. They found Suarez’s account and gesture of pinching Suarez’s skin to be inconsistent with video footage. I’m a Liverpool fan but we all have to accept that Suarez behaved in an unacceptable manner and was actually lucky not to face a longer ban. Liverpool’s initial statement was shockingly misadvised especially when attacking the credibility of Evra but having a chance to officially do that during the process but electing not to. Reading through the report right now and we do not come out in a positive light.
