Is it common to say to it to someone who isn't black?
FA to investigate Edinson Cavani | This thread is taking a break

We have a winner. Someone who has read the actual judgement and not Liverpool's PR to defend Suarez. Comparing Cavani and Suarez is like apples and oranges.
Obviously meant in a positive way with no understanding that it will be seen as negative in England. I suspect he’ll get banned but really should just be a matter of explaining that it shouldn’t be used going forwards. Annoys me that there’s no understanding of context in this type of scenario.
Correct, apparently. Suarez used an offensive term.

Context used to matter. Used to
Now he's fecked. Ban incoming

Is this is a joke? Anyone even remotely contemplating the idea that this should be considered as a ban worthy offense is off their meds.
Ole getting the T shirts printed as we speak.
In fairness isnt that the word Suarez claimed he used in his defence?
Yep, it's supper common in south America.
You are literally just siding with the FA/government/authority. It seems you don't understand the word either.
Why do people think this is towards a teammate/Bruno? The profile he responded to is ‘pabloferr2222’ - a profile with 62 followers.
Isn't it racist to tell a foreign language speaker his non racist (foreign) language is racist?
you are super smart, have a nice day
But even towards non-black people? Are there no other friendly Spanish words to use on non-black friends?
Just curious.
Don't get your knickers in a bunch.
It's a quote. A smart one.
If you can't see the context of that reply to a friend, then you're the one that's racist.
What if that's his nickname? His father worked in an Uruguayan coal mine or he fell in a bucket of black paint when they were together playing in the street.
The feck do i know.
Can i call my friend by his nickname if it has a word "black" in it?
Put things IN CONTEXT.
If he's racially insulting someone on Instagram, sure, by all means, ban him for the rest of the season.
If it takes as long as the investigation into the Spurs invasion into the stand and fizzles out the same then nothing to worry about here.
Is that racist or xenophobic?
Very. Especially if they're darker skinned. It's also quite common for darker skinned people to refer to lighter skinned people as 'Cara Palida' or 'Pale Face.' Even if these people are nowhere near as light skinned as, for instance, a northern European.
You really are a snowflake, gosh. Genuinely can’t believe any grown up can take this matter seriously when actual racist problems are happening as we speak...
Not sure mate, got a bit confused. I've removed that post.
Meh. Probably get a reminder and asked to be more aware going forward..
Even the FA cant be stupid enough to hand out bans for nonsense like this.

Literally.
Can’t agree with this take. In this context its very clearly a term of endearment.
I didn't expect you to say thank you, how would that make any sense. Even if he used a racially insensitive term, which he did, to express gratitude, how does that make you justified in expressing anger towards someone by calling them an absolute idiot. You probably don't know this but idiot used to be a really insensitive term too until people like you started to call each other that every day.
I can't see how the word negro or it's diminutive negrito can be racist in Spanish. Granted I'm not an expert in latin American culture.
If forcing someone to pay a fine or "PowerPoint" reeducation because of this sounds like a reasonable response, as a few of you seem to suggest above, you might as well just ban players from speaking in their language in social media.

Thank you ever so much for explaining actual racism to me. I didn't know before, and because of you, now I do.
And as I said, regardless of context people would be calling for a ban if it were another team. It's that simple.
Every possible use of this word was analysed to death during the Suarez incident.
Cavani has removed the post so the club have clearly advised him.
Cavani needs to explain himself, apologise, take the consequences and then he and everyone can move on. Defending it means straying into the idiotic territory Dalglish and Liverpool ended up in.

Yes extremely common. You say it to someone who has dark skin whether black or latin.
Is the person he was responding to black?
Well one obvious way is is you say, for example, 'I'm kicking you because you're black'. Hopefully this incident will be dealt with with common sense, but it's hardy a stretch to see how it could be racist. We need to know the context of the account he was replying to here, though.
Does this have global consequences? Should all Spanish-speaking countries ban this word?
It's not appropriate in England though. And he's a public figure working in this country.
Should be just a warning.
I’m confused. Is Cavani trying to say thank you to Rashford for the assist or paying tribute to Maradona? Can’t see how he has anything to answer for in case of the latter.
What the actual feck are you on about.
You have purple hair, don't you
Forget your boots at halftime, come on 20 seconds into the second half, play a vital role in a comeback win & then shoot yourself in the foot on social media.
This club is the gift that keeps on giving, you couldn’t write this

You ask that tongue in cheek but there’s truth to it. The English think they have a say on everything in the world.
I'm not sure Edi's done his life in the UK test yet. Give him a break.
