Really? I’d never even heard it before. 

Me neither. The Asian(Korean stereotype) is about being bad drivers and being very intelligent,to my knowledge.

Maths genius/autistic would be the stereotype I was aware of. Not fucking DVD’s. 
 

If Claude has meant this in a racist way then he’s really gone down in my estimation as he was the only one of there that seemed a good bloke and actually understood football.

Yep - not a good look for the "product".

Can't wait for Troopz to be fucked off for his comment during the same game well before Claude said anything.  Obviously his derogatory comment was only highlighting so called 'White Privilege' so the cucks and racists can feel better about it.

What did he say?

"Harry Kane's White so he's always right" after he got fouled or didn't get a foul against him.

Hmm, although with Kane its all about the England bollocks.

Exactly, fuck all to do with his skin colour.

There is a body of opinion that in London the people who are knocking out dodgy DVD’s and selling them are predominantly oriental Asians. Therefore, calling somebody of oriental Asian origin DVD is a racist trope as you are suggesting all oriental Asians sell dodgy DVDs.
 

Also, see Phonejacker’s “Wannabuy DVD” sketch. 
 

That’s the issue, which I learnt from Twitter this morning. It appears to be a London-centric issue.

It definitely happens in London, mate, seen it in a number of different pubs. That said, there's no need to stereotype every SE Asian person in that way. Dodgy Polish builders/ theiving Scousers blah blah.

Troopz shouldn't have mentioned his skin colour, there would be murder if a black players skin colour was mentioned by a white fan in same way.

Just looking at the comments made by Greg Clarke, I don't think there's enough there to throw stones at him in the street and call him a cross-burning cunt. But there probably is enough to suggest that he doesn't have enough understanding of racism, homophobia and misogyny - and hasn't made enough effort to understand them - to justify keeping his job as Chairman of the FA.

On the contrary. I'd say he's done everything to justify his role as FA chairman by being a scandal-ridden shit-talking out-of-step old fart.

These morons hide behind their apparent anonymity on the internet but there really need to be laws brought forward to cover it,or the ones now made tougher. I don't expect much to happen with racists running governments though.

Excellent article by one of my mates.

Slavia Pragues Kudela given a 10 match ban after being found guilty of racism. Very poor that from UEFA. They should have thrown the book at the cunt 

[SlugTrail]

I was reading something earlier about a liverpool fan spelling Bangladesh incorrectly meaning all liverpool fans are obviously racist.

 

The signs are out there you just need to make shit up to prove your right.

I thought all the knuckle draggers said they were from overseas accounts ?

 

Majority of Euro 2020 racist abuse came from UK accounts and 99% were not anonymous, says Twitter

Twitter's data stands in contrast to that from the UK Football Policing Unit which said that of 207 social media posts deemed to be criminal, 34 came from accounts in Britain and 123 in other countries.

Hang on mate. Im vehemently against racism but it's wrong to accuse everyone of being a 'knuckle dragger' because they quoted or referred to another report that claimed 80 or so percent where not UK accounts.

 

That's just tarring everyone with the racism brush and not on in my book.

[Bjornebye]

So more of the racism came from British accounts than any other country. No surprise there. I wonder what flags they have in their twitter bio. "Proud Brummie - Free Tommy"

If thats the case why didn't Twitter ban them outright if they had those kinds of details to hand? Also why is this in contradiction to the other set of data?

 

FFS its not hard in this day and age to get this stuff with the technology at our disposal. Yet another mess.

 

I'd also point out that Twitter isn't representative of the UK or Global Society as a whole.
