McCormick Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) There aren’t many, if any Saudis that are offended by it (the first thing a Saudi will ask ejnabi/foreigners to do over here is to fully kit up KSA style and take photos etc. they love it, it’s a sign of accepting Saudi society). It’s not inherently a religious outfit save the fact that it was worn by the Prophet (pbuh). I’ll see if I can take a picture of a prominent Saudi publication with a cover picture of guys in thobes etc. with the caption roughly translating to “KSA fever takes over Newcastle” *green heart*”. But anyway, KIO have said their piece and it’s very fucking easy not to do. Little point arguing about it tbh.

Hanshithispantz Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Yous are aware that arabs aren't actually these cartoonishly emotional radgies as depicted by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, aye? Like I'm sure they can handle a bit of dress up. They probably even enjoy telling jokes and watching comedy films n that yoo, it's mad like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) My Mexican girlfriend (well, not, see mood thread..) would want smack anyone dressing up 'as a Mexican' for a laugh. She loves good humour, she can 'handle' it, but she'd want to smack you and she'd feel uncomfortable around you. I'm sure you'll find plenty of Mexicans to quote who say they aren't arsed. The idea that dressing up in cultural attire as a costume for a laugh, especially when that culture is regularly the recipient of various forms of racism, is not really controversial. No, it's not the most damaging thing in the world and I'm sure most haven't really thought about it, but it's a shitty thing to do.

Hanshithispantz Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Well they need to get a grip Imagine being arsed about something so absolutely trivial man. The vast majority of emotionally mature adults, regardless of their heritage, will be able cope with another culture dressing up as them in good faith. We don't have to constantly play the white saviour, man. Most foreigners couldn't give a shit about this kind of thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it is fair to say that Saudi Arabians don't wear tea towels like. and that's the thing I suppose. The Mexican cliche was allowed to persist for so long that it gets up their noses, understandably. The Saudi Arabians might want to avoid that. A warm welcome is all well and good, but it's just that. A welcome. Edited October 20, 2021 by Happinesstan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Let's flip this around and imagine some Brit booting off about Mexicans wearing old Victorian attire and fake drinking tea after Richard Branson takes over Cruz Azul. They would get absolutely tortured. I hope any Mexican crying over people wearing sombreros would receive the same over there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all well and good to show respect, at the appropriate time, but it can become patronising if you are doing it without context. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BergenMagpie Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Cant see that the reason for the statement is that someone has been offended. Think the club released this statement to prevent the tea-towel part of the fanbase to give fuel to anyone who yells "sportswashing". Think every newspaper in Norway has had some sort of article the last few days comparing the pictures of our dressed up fans with a picture of MBS or Khashoggi. Not exactly good PR.

How can you be so ignorant as to think making fun of British and Mexican or Arab culture is the same thing? At least I know this isn't a conversation worth getting into. I'm out.

Dokko Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Can remember when we reached the FA Cup final and Ruud Gullit was manager, my mate wanted some to wear dreadlocks in honour so bought a mop head from a hardware store along with some black dye. Didn't end well, came out patchy grey/blue, didn't dry in time for kickoff and ruined me mams bucket. Happy days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a pathetic argument. Love it when people with absolutely no knowledge of a culture try and tell that culture what they should and shouldn’t be offended by.
