Suarez all over again

 

[Jam]

Absolute idiot.

Contextually very different to Suarez, Terry et al - he isn’t using it offensively so it won’t become a massive scandal like their incidents.

But he still used something, that while seen as acceptable in his culture as a term of endearment, doesn’t really fit in the same way here. I can see a fine and minimal ban happening, just nip this in the bud; accept fault, apologise with context and do some cultural re-education PowerPoint slides.

Suarez all over again

He didn't follow people around for the whole games yelling this into their ears constantly? He did this to someone who wrote onto his Instagram account so there is a bit off a difference.

 

[lsd]

Suarez didn't use that word though did he ?

 

[Shane88]

Feck sake. Suspension just when he might have kicked on.

 

[izec]

He will get fined and banned for a game or two. You don't use it in England, it sounds similar to the n word, that is all that matters to the FA and the haters, especially now in Black lives matter circumstances.

 

[Gary_Walsh_Nou_Camp_Hell]

I just hope United don't go down some insane Dalglishian route of defending the player at all costs. He needs to take the consequences of using a word that is not appropriate in our society.

He's a public figure and was idiotic to use the word.

 

[YAMS49]

One game ban minimum. With it being us possibly more.

 

[Toad]

Most likely take some form of action given how hot the country is on any form of racial behaviour now. Very idiotic thing to say. doesn’t matter if it is acceptable in your culture, you can’t be that uneducated to know this isn’t the correct thing to say.

 

[Daonico]

Amazing that this is considered racist...

 

[SalfordRed18]

As I said in the other thread, take off the rose tinted specs. Regardless of intention, he needs to be disciplined. If it were another team, we'd be saying the same.

Seems legit. Over here we don't say thank you with kindness and love, we say absolute idiot because your culture don't fit in. If only those South Americans weren't such savages am I right?

 

[Andy_Cole]

Ffs please don’t give him a ban.

 

[Pace Abuser]

He should have said blanquito and it would have been fine.
Strange way to address people. Using colours. I admit I don't understand the Latin cultural context

 

[Trophy Room]

It appears that it was used as a term of endearment here.

 

[DickDastardly]

Seriously?

Shit, this cancel culture is getting out of hand if he gets any kind of ban.

"Without CONTEXT words and actions have no meaning at all."

 

[Samid]

Not his biggest fan but using that word is a sign of affection in Uruguay.

 

[SalfordRed18]

Are you the law on what is and isn't considered racist out of interest?

 

[Daonico]

why? it seems he is talking to another uruguayan, why he has to talk in a way that the english think it is appropiate?

 

[Skills]

This is nothing like Suarez-Evra. Suarez got banned for telling Evra he kicked him because he was black.

 

[SalfordRed18]

Seriously?

Shit, this cancel culture is getting out of hand if he gets any kind of ban.

"Without CONTEXT words and actions have no meaning at all."

Get the feck out with that bollocks. Awful, awful take.

 

[U99ted]

"Thank you black" in reference to the kit he is wearing (and our away form being so much better than our home form) isn't racist...

 

[Champagne Football]

I know in Latin countries, Negrito is something you say to your best mate or brother. He obviously didn't intend it to cause offence. It's a bit different to Suarez and Evra who hated each other on the pitch.

I think the anti-Utd side of the media will have a field day with this.

 

[Daonico]

Are you the law on what is and isn't considered racist out of interest?

I am Uruguayan, same as Cavani, and probably the other person he is talking too...
Is England the law about how everyone in any country should communicate?
I mean, England will teach the world about not being racist? really?

 

[McGrathsipan]

Whats the translation ?

 

[mu4c_20le]

Will be interesting to see how the appeal goes, if they charge him.

 

[RooneyLegend]

Amazing that this is considered racist...

It's completely ridiculous

"Without CONTEXT words and actions have no meaning at all."

What has 'cancel culture' got to do with this? That is a meaningless term anyway.

If he's used a racist word then obviously it's going to lead to repercussions.

Touché

 

[mu4c_20le]

Are you the law on what is and isn't considered racist out of interest?

Well considering it's his native language, I'd say he has more authority on the matter than you..

Where your from doesn't answer the question really though does it?

 

[Bebestation]

Are you the law on what is and isn't considered racist out of interest?

The FA surely aren't either though especially when it comes to language though is it? Especially when it's used towards your own team mate?

 

[Gary_Walsh_Nou_Camp_Hell]

It appears that it was used as a term of endearment here.

Doesn't mean it's appropriate though

 

[#07]

It's not racist in the context it was used. Indeed, the FA's judgement against Suarez found that the term Cavani used is not racist in a friendly context.

Suarez got done because the FA found it implausible that Suarez could have been using it in a friendly way during an argument. Also contradictions in Suarez's testimony made them doubt his version of events. Contrasting this the FA found no reason to doubt Evra's evidence.

 

[Jam]

Seems legit. Over here we don't say thank you with kindness and love, we say absolute idiot because your culture don't fit in. If only those South Americans weren't such savages am I right?

You expect people to say thank you to him for using a racially insensitive term that has different contexts in different cultures?

You're the kind of bloke who defends Zwarte Piet aren't you?

 

[Leftback99]

He'll get at least a one game ban.

 

[Daonico]

Whats the translation ?

A literal traslation would be "thanks blacky"
"Negro" means black (the colour), "ito" is a diminutive said with affection, like saying "doggie" instead of "dog"

 

[Member 90887]

Are you the law on what is and isn't considered racist out of interest?

The irony of allowing your self to judge, but calling out other people for doing the same thing as you.

He could easily tell you the same thing, are you the law on what is and isn't considered racist?

 

[SalfordRed18]

Well considering it's his native language, I'd say he has more authority on the matter than you..

Outstanding logic. Bravo.
