Swiper Posted 9 August 2015 Share Posted 9 August 2015 80's Brit pop was world reknowned. They better be slapping "Parental Advisory" stickers on Blur albums now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bennytwohats Posted 9 August 2015 Share Posted 9 August 2015 If bennytwohats and a dozen others owned the club - yes. **** yeah I'd support it. I'd get sacked from my job if a video like that leaked of me (as would a large chunk of us). Tired of society putting footballers on a pedestal when they should be setting the highest example given that they are paid so much and in the public spotlight so much - you better believe a politician or TV broadcaster etc. wouldn't get away with that kind of shit. Football claims it is trying to tackle racism - if it is serious then it needs to start taking actions that match its words. I think the same with sexism and homophobia in football too. You only have to look at some of the responses in this thread to see how ignorant a lot of football fans are - why pretend that's okay just because this guy plays for our club? More importantly what would it say as a person if they would have supported it if it was JT or Suarez, but changed their stance as soon as it was out player? **** that.

Illusion35 Posted 9 August 2015 Share Posted 9 August 2015 Japanese is a nationality. If I was born in Japan I would have a Japanese passport - therefore I would be Japanese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerrrFox Posted 9 August 2015 Share Posted 9 August 2015 You've been good in your distinctions between the offence for Pakistani being different to Japanese - but Japanese isn't a race, nor is British. These are ethnicities. Vardy used an ethnic slur. I'm not a yankee, i'm a limey. The debate on ethnicity and race is never ending and there is no definitive answer as to which is right and wrong. However to term Japanese and Pakistani as simply Asian, which is what I think you are suggesting is much too vague for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonnieTodger Posted 9 August 2015 Share Posted 9 August 2015 Vardy is nowhere near intelligent enough to realise calling a japanese person a jap is historically considered racist. He's using it in the context of calling a british person a Brit or an austrailian an Aussie. Give him a slap on the wrist and educate him on it and move on The point is, did he know he was Japanese? Sheer ignorance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkie1999 Posted 9 August 2015 Share Posted 9 August 2015 So according to the pc brigade the aussies calling brits whinging poms is racist because it has a derisory word before poms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you need to stand back and take a chill pill. From what I'm reading you really need to stop watching Pro football and perhaps pro sports in general, all of the athletes are going to let you down because YOU are putting them on a pedestal. And reading football fans forums is another thing you probably should re-think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSoxUK Posted 9 August 2015 Share Posted 9 August 2015 The debate on ethnicity and race is never ending and there is no definitive answer as to which is right and wrong. However to term Japanese and Pakistani as simply Asian, which is what I think you are suggesting is much too vague for me. It's all very much a social construct and you're right, saying Asian is very vague because there's plenty of differences. I wouldn't call someone from Iraq a Middle Eastern or a Near Eastern because that's very much eurocentric - just as Far East etc are geographical terms based on the relation to Europe and the UK in general. Same way I've never been a fan of the word 'white' when referring to caucasian which is again, very vague. Could go all the way back to our roots as we're homosapians developed from caucasoids, mongoloids or negroids... History, legality, and social development has grouped pretty much every lifeform developed from homosapians to make it easier for people to classify as a grouping. I'm a Pink Near Eastern Leicestershirean. Edit: A lot of it is a matter of opinion and subjectivity from the host and the receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
