The purpose and intent of such a comment is to mock someone of a "different colour" or "race", that to me is racism.

Where do you draw the line? Stating that you just made a racist remark but are not racist is a ridiculous cop out. Making such comment is an action that is meant to offend.

Moreover, you don't have to be part of Klu Klux Kan or the BPN to be a labelled and viewed as a racist.

Your examples are not in anyway comparable to the Suarez comment either.

So by your definition, Arsenal fans who have called spurs fans yids are racists. Or do you think it's more acceptable to demean Jewish people than black people? Were they racist or just ignorant?

People make comments based on people's differences to further add insult...if someone is fat call them a fat ****, ginger...ginger **** etc. Doesn't mean you hate them because of these features.

I'm not saying he's not a racist as we don't really know that, but I don't think it means he is one either.

:gp:

Regardless of what Suarez said, that doesn't mean he hates other races or thinks he's superior to them. I've heard people call Scholes a ginger c*nt for years, even I've done that. It's essentially the same thing, the only difference is that it's more socially acceptable than racist comments. But even if I did say that I have absolutely nothing against ginger people at all.

you do, it's time to admit it. charlie can't sleep at night, just tell him the truth.

Are the mods just going to allow posters to openly state they have "absolutely nothing" against gingers? Please act or I'll take this up with the hosting company.

Self interest trumps all. This is a minor issue but you can understand on wider issues why certain atrocities and tragedies are prolonged.
