I'm very skeptical that any sh*tstorm would have resulted if he had posted "...grabs coins like a Scot". Although Scots should have as much right to get as offended by the niggardly stereotype as Jews by the money-hungry one. FA's decision has all to do with pandering to perversely sensitive hassle-loving squealy readers. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
On the vaguely related topic of censorship, today the BBFC outlawed women cuming in the UK http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/a-long-list-of-sex-acts-just-got-banned-in-uk-porn-9897174.html
If you were to look deeper into the 'racist' issue here you could say that a significant number of people would have to hold the belief that Jews are money grabbers for it to mean anything. Pointing it out even by means of scorn, is actually adhering to the belief.
Scots are not a race and not a religious sect, but your dislike of the Scots is clearly evident.. Is not a part of the country that you live in that was stolen from its native people called New Scotland?
Did you know that "black Jews" mainly those from Ethiopia that are citizens of Israel by right of their religion are racially abused and treated like 2nd class citizens ala the American deep south within Israel? Refused skilled jobs and even turned away from eateries and public transport etc? http://www.irinnews.org/report/94819/israel-the-tribulations-of-being-an-ethiopian-jew Racial bigots wherever they maybe must be taught that racial equality will eventually lead to racial harmony.
Funnily enough about 15 years ago an English couple living in Scotland brought a racial discrimination case against some of the Scots villagers, which was backed by the Commission for Racial Equality!
According to UK government law on discrimination race, colour, religion, nationality and even regional areas within the UK are protected.
Those discriminated against believe such a thing exists, otherwise they'd just laugh it off and give as good as they get.
Yes I know and the case brought by the English couple was on grounds of 'race' - so conversely Scots could be described as a race.
