I don’t know. What other awful stereotype-based chants do we have?First Lukaku's massive penis and now this. Whatever next
Vidic never liked that chant IIRCFirst Lukaku's massive penis and now this. Whatever next? Probably won't be able to sing about Vidic/Matic murdering people or some woke nonsense
I mean...it's just a fact in this case isn't it? Not even a stereotype. They're literally discussing a dog meat ban right now.It's not racist is it. It's more zenophobia / ignorance, one of those sort of things.
This. Even if it were a completely innocuous and uncontroversial chant, the fact that he doesn't want it sung should be the end of it.I mean...it's just a fact in this case isn't it? Not even a stereotype. They're literally discussing a dog meat ban right now.
It's used as a joke, which could be deemed to have a negative spin, which could end up being classed as racism, possibly.
If he's bothered by it though, then it should absolutely stop, considering it's about him.
Lukaku’s was singing about a racial stereotypeI get why this one is bad but still don't understand the issue with Lukaku's.
I'll probably be yelled at for thinking that though.
Because it's based on a stereotype. And stereotypes are dangerous and are behind some of the worst racism and regimes in history.I get why this one is bad but still don't understand the issue with Lukaku's.

Must be exhausting making shit up to get annoyed about.In before someone is in here calling Park a woke SJW snowflake and that football is being sanitized too much and things were better 30 years ago.
Well it is , no denying that and I wasn't even born over 30 years ago, never mind attending games!In before someone is in here calling Park a woke SJW snowflake and that football is being sanitized too much and things were better 30 years ago.
Like I said I'll be yelled at.Because it's based on a stereotype. And stereotypes are dangerous and are behind some of the worst racism and regimes in history.
Just because some think this is a "Positive" stereotype doesn't make it any more acceptable.
The Lukaku one is worse.I get why this one is bad but still don't understand the issue with Lukaku's.
I'll probably be yelled at for thinking that though.
Yeah. It's a strange one. "You eat frogs in your home country" to Cantona wouldn't feel at all...off...to me. Football chants aren't exactly high-brow.I mean...it's just a fact in this case isn't it? Not even a stereotype. They're literally discussing a dog meat ban right now.
But yeah, ultimately this is the main point.If he's bothered by it though, then it should absolutely stop, considering it's about him.
Are you saying all Scottish people DON'T eat haggis?Probably will get backlash from my comment, but 1 million dogs are eaten in South Korea every year.
It's not racist or xenophobic, it's a tasteless stereotype, saying that all Koreans eat dog. It's really no different to the stereotype that all English people drink tea or all Scottish people eat Haggis.
Kimchi maybe?Whats the national dish of South Korea?
Moyes' boys?Our chants are largely pretty shit or unoriginal. Vidic was bothered by 'he comes from Serbia, he's gonna murder ya', Park by this dog meat stuff, Lukaku by the penis song, Wenger got a chant saying he is a pedo, then the 'Viva Ronaldo' and 'Oh Robin van Persie' are just plain boring.
The Martial chant is probbaly the best of the lot in recent years.
so just carry on and keep singing the song even though he asked to stop singing it? Have some respect for the guy..Probably will get backlash from my comment, but 1 million dogs are eaten in South Korea every year.

I never said that. Of course stop singing it as he asked. But people are wrong saying that it is racist or xenophobic, that is totally different to stereotypes, especially if people are known to do the stereotype.so just carry on and keep singing the song even though he asked to stop singing it? Have some respect for the guy..
I tried to blank that out and now can’t remember itMoyes' boys?
It seems bulgogi would fit well.Whats the national dish of South Korea?
"You eat kimchi in your country" easy transitionKimchi maybe?
