If the coaching staff was 5 black guys and 1 white guy, it would be absurd not to refer to the white guy as the white guy.

 

Racism is to discriminate against a person because of the colour of their skin. Attempts to redefine it as mere reference to someone's skin colour should be resisted by all sane folk.

Not a chance, keep making excuses by all means but skin colour wouldn’t be the point of reference 

 

That said, Ba was on the bench so there’s more than one person of colour there anyway.

What if he called him "The Jew" you know, if he was jewish and thats how he pointed him out? 

In that situation again, context. Firstly I’d be horrified hearing someone referred to as ‘The Jew’ and would cringe triple hard. But if there was someone dressed in Hasidic Jewish clothing and out of a group of non Jewish people was identified as ‘the Jewish person’ if that was the quickest identifier and clearly not hateful then I’d struggle to see who’d have a problem with that.

Ba is absolutely spot on, there’s no need to identify someone by the colour of their skin, and to do so, shows a racist bias.

 

If the ref asked to identify the offender in the coaching staff, he wouldn’t say “the white guy there”, so by the same token, their is no need to identify someone as “the black guy”

 

Fair play in instanbul in taking the stand, someone had to, and equally so for PSG to support them too. It’s too much to ask for UEFA to do anything other than fine the match official 10p and a weeks suspension which is what they’ll do


This.
