Judging by your views on the European thread I gather you abhor racism tobes, as you and everyone should. Why gloss over skiddy's disgusting slur? Your views aren't fickle, are they mate?
Spurs fans chant yids themselves so they lose the moral stance on that one I'm afraid. It's only a racist slur if you're aiming it at a Jew knowing they're a Jew and with the intent of causing hurt. Why the **** do you care btw, given you're a Soton fan? lol
Agreed. There was a big issue a few years ago with the Society of black lawyers trying to bring a case against Spurs for their continued use of the 'Yid' word. Spurs argued that their fans didn't mean it as a racist slur, although there were complaints from Jewish people regarding it. The Met police at the time did say that they would clamp down on it, but nothing seemed to have happened. It's a bit of a storm in a teacup, Spurs fans don't use the word in a perjorative sense, although they also don't really have a claim to be a 'jewish' club, as there are probably as many , if not more Jewish Arsenal fans in North London.
That's as maybe, but we were discussing 1 post in fairness. HIAG decided to use his other account to try and **** stir
You could've saved yourself some time and effort and just said you were fickle Had one of the racist that's on the Eu thread said "yid" followed by a common Jewish stereotype you would be up in arms as you, I and anyone else who's read your bollocks would know As for it not being offensive because Spurs fans call themselves yids. Black people call themselves ****** all the time and would you say that that is a perfectly acceptable to say to them by the likes of me or you? His comments were aimed at belittling and making fun of the Jewish plight, any association that comment may have with spurs is secondary and irrelevant for me
It's all a matter of intent. As you say, if it's used in a pejorative sense, then it's clearly offensive. Many black people still use the N word when talking to each other.
He was aiming it at posters who he knows aren't Jewish you dickhead Take your faux outrage and stick it up your arse HIAG
