Latrell racially abused

[AlwaysGreen]

I'm against racism but "Fire up you black dog" which has been reported that he the 15 year old Roosters fan said... isn't that bad imho.

I'm assuming you're not black.

Because if you were you'd be offended. For Hundreds of years people have been treated like domesticated animals or worse purely because of their colour.

It's actually offensive that you don't see it being that bad.

As for the kid, good learning experience hopefully, an even better one would be to send him into an aboriginal community and get him to repeat and see what happens.

Have a good look around this thread. No person here dislikes you personally yet every post on this thread is opposed to your view. That should tell you that you really need to reflect on your views.
I suggest that you do some reading or access some tv shows that discuss issues of racism. While I don't think you are a racist, I do think your knowledge is below par on this issue.

Hopefully no one makes any racist comments this Friday night. Racist comments are unacceptable.

let’s just stick to the homophobic “latte poofs” comments please

Used to go to the footy with a bloke about 20 years back whose favourite insult to yell out was "twig"
Got called out about it by a young girl in front and stopped it

While we are at equal rights for all in society, the next step is to make lgbtiq hating just as taboo. That is a long way away sadly.

long way away, sadly

A 15 year old yelled "Black Dog"...

Very unwarranted but its not worth all this media.

I've heard terms like "White Boy".. "Useless white idiot" at games and nothing is said lol

white people are the real victims here

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

This comment is absolute proof of my earlier comment......we still have a way to go to educate people that racial abuse is an absolute no go area.

Personally, I've never heard any of the "white" type comments that you have alluded to. Even if what you say is correct, ONE of those two groups cops it from every angle because of their colour.....I'll let you work out which group that is.

Racism needs to be called out, not accepted.

It's their nice way of saying, “sucking it up, it doesn't affect me, so it should not affect you.”

Perhaps this lad was giving Latrell a compliment comparing him to a Newfoundland or Black Labrador or Poodle?

Don’t care if he’s 15. Ban the little prick for life.

 

[Exsilium]

Maybe he meant "Black Dawg"

1. To distinguish (and emphasise a distinction) between "dog", the animal, and "dawg", the slang word that is a friendly term of address. dog can be used disparagingly in English, and it carries disparaging connotations in many other languages. As such, there is often a desire to distinguish the term of address from the common noun.

Kids nowadays right? Whole other language.

Ageist

 

[mozza91]

Ageist

I’m not ageist but all 15 years olds should be segregated.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I’m not ageist but all 15 years olds should be segratred.

Well that's fair enough.

Ban him for life unless he takes an education course.

Its a one on one football coaching clinic with Latrell Mitchell.

ha ha - word filter seems to put in "twig" for "twig"

Well that clears it up

 

[bazza]

Well that clears it up

well "twig" is a homophobic slur that the LU word filter changes to "twig"
