Nothing at all to do with Serbian's being perceived as nut case hard men? You sure about that?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Perhaps to do with Vidic being perceived as a nut case hard man.
Look, I've grown bored of this discussion. I never said that the Yaya song was racist, or that the people singing it are being racist. But if you can't see that labeling someone as being diseased because he's African, despite coming from an unaffected country, might have some racial undertones, you really need to expand your mind a little.
You could just as easily say that you're being close minded by assuming that it's just because he's African that the song came about.
If it was to do with him being African, surely it'd have been sung to different African players too
You could, but we'd all know that isn't true.

You can say anything you want, it doesn't make it true. The reason it is sung is because he is African. It's not helpful to pretend otherwise. Come on, pal.

it is because he's african, no one is denying that, but in case youve forgot, you also get white africans, so youve kida just confirmed what everyone has said.
africans arent a race.

how is it a cop out??
youve just said yourself its because he is african, and ive pointed out you are correct, but you also get white africans, so it cant be a race issue surely?
"africans arent a race."
weak and overly pedantic

Quite.
Why argue over pedantic technicalities other than to distract from the real issues? Just gets nowhere.

Conor said the Toure song was based on the fact he was African and it had racial undertones.
how can it have racial undertones because he is African, when you have Africans with different skin colours??
had he said its because he is black, then i could understand his argument.
cant see how im being pedantic.

Implying all Koreans eat dogs has undertones also, I could argue.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It would, if that was the implication. I'm not sure it implies "all" Koreans eat dogs. Just that they do eat eat dogs in Korea.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I tend not to find facts racist. I don't think "you" refers to Park himself, do you? I suppose it could be read that way, although I've never considered it. I read it as a universal "you" i.e. anyone.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I'm afraid, in this crazy binary world, it's all or nothing, 0 or 1; black or white, no grey areas.
apparently there is no such thing as race (so said some scientist) so pedantically/logically racism can't exist
we're all wasting our time discussing it

ever heard that song from garth brooks

Garth Brooks.... No I don't listen to extremist music. Sting on the other hand borrows cultural influences from across the world and blends them into a beautiful soul touching melody.
