Evra accuses Suarez of racism

[Shaggy]

Pepe really needs to give up his part time job writing TV ads.

Exactly.

"Does he think his black team mates will laugh at his joke?"

WTF?

[Assassin]

exactly.

"does he think his black team mates will laugh at his joke?"

wtf?

+1 wtf!!!

[Vermilion]

Jesus wept these idiots make me sick.

Simon Woolley, the OBV director, said: "I'm shocked on so many levels. Firstly, how would the Spanish feel if the English stereotyped Spanish people as backward, stupid, and animalistic homosexuals?

Yeah, because we English never stereotype people or races! do we!?!

FFS

What a load of crap

[Vermilion]

England run out tonight under the leadership of a manager that when playing aimed a direct racist insult at another england player ffs.

You couldn't make this hypocritical ****e up!

[Lee]

Unreal ffs.

Might as well take every advert, film and programme off TV in fear of upsetting everyone in the world. Pathetic.

It is far more stupid on the groups own site.

Peps gets a call from his agent telling him to be at a particular place at a particular time. He turns up and does what the director tells him to do. He goes home. End of story.

If it's from that ridiculous/funny advert with Reina clowning around and repeating some catchphrase, then I've seen it but I can't remember the 'offending' part. Otherwise I've simply not seen it.

It's not the fact people have taken offence to it that pisses me off, it's the way the Guardian/other bloodthirsty journos have gleefully pinned it on LFC and Pepe himself, and attached it to the whole Suarez thing. They're determined not to let this story go away.

By the look of the comment section they may have also used the term 'poultry fine'

Chris Bevan mentioned the Suarez thing in his 'Thing to come in the future' (or whatever it was exactly titled) blog about the Carling Cup final.

They cant let it go away because they'd need to use their brain to create a new topic of debate.

"I'm shocked on so many levels. Firstly, how would the Spanish feel if the English stereotyped Spanish people as backward, stupid, and animalistic homosexuals? Secondly, what does this say about Pepé Reina? The Liverpool goalkeeper has lived and worked in the UK for nearly a decade, does he think it's OK to characterise black people this way? Does he think his black team‑mates will laugh at his joke?"

How the **** does the advert stereotype black people that way? Does this guy think just because people carry spears and shields they are backward and stupid? He's the ****ing ignorant prick. As for homosexuality , isn't the basis of the joke that Reina means Queen? It uses the familiar tale of stumbling across a tribe who by sheer fluke considers the stanger to have a significant place amongst them, big ****ing deal.

This sort of rabid behaviour seeking to take offence wherever possible is damaging to the genuine anti-racist cause.

Also, how the **** is it relevant how long Reina has worked or lived here? Seems to me he is suggesting all Spanish people are backward racists but Reina should know better having been civilised by us wonderful Brits. ****ing pillock

[ChesterDave]

"All very funny if you live in the dark ages and you have no idea or don’t care just how offensive this is. But I’m afraid that’s Spain and much of Latin America too."

Its dem bloody forenners! They're all racist. Terribly two faced to whine about racism while stereotyping nations but I guess Simon Wooley is too ****ing stupid to see it.

Its as muct sexist and derogatory to Reina as it is to black people. Just an excuse for another unelected mouth piece to froth at the mouth. Its a complete non-story that the Guardian is desperate to be offended by.

Oh would you look at that. The author of the piece writes for the Guardian.

Beat me to it.

By the way yours & Red Polo's posts are excellent - you should post them on his blog/website, under his ****ty article.
