Hanshithispantz Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Think it all depends on the relationship he has with Sir Les tbh. If they're cool, I think it's alright (me and my mates say things to one another, which would understandably be construed to an outsider as horrifically racist, with all the love in the world). More than a bit dodgy for me if they have no real relationship. Aye. It's like Mike on here You couldn't just waltz into West Coast Forumz and be like "yous all love grape juice" and expect everyone to be swell. It would be canny disrespectful. Mike just takes all of the shit craic on the chin like a trooper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_NUFC Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I'm a fairly boring atheist, actually. I think there are others on this board who're more erm... 'fundamentalist'.

Ronaldo Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 can't believe it's even being questioned tbh, with dictionary definitions of racism. FFS man, I'm out like It doesn't fit with the legal definitions either. Fortunately that's what counts. Aye, fuck anyone offended by it. Law says it's fine. Now, where's my boot polish? There's a big difference between an insensitive comment and a racist one. Anyone taking offence to their skin tone being compared to that of a kitchen appliance is well within their rights to adopt that stance, but it's not a discrimination.

An important question nobody seems to be asking here: how on earth did Les score all those headers? White as a sheet, black as an AGA. Some right ninnyish posts in here.

Guest Haris Vuckic Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 He didn't just say Les Ferdinand is black though, did he, if he said that he would have said "Les Ferdinand is black." What he actually said was "I couldn't see Les Ferdinand because he was stood next to my black Aga" Les Ferdinand is so f***ing black that standing in front of a black surface actually rendered him completely invisible, that's what John Hall said. I'm not saying he's a staunch facist or anything like, but that is most certainly a racist comment. And I didn't have to open my upstairs window to talk to Peter Crouch. I didn't know that jokes had to be factually accurate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 imo, there isn't anything inherently racist in his statement. It's just a terrible joke for an old rich white dude to tell. He definitely should have known better. It was a bad joke in poor taste, poorly timed. An awkwardness trifecta. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
