What is the difference between faking a northern accent and a caribbean one?
_____________

You really don't see the difference?My word.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No.
What if i am a black northerner. Is it now different?

Come on explain yourself if it is so obvious
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not at all. You're in the SAME country. Nothing to do with the skin colour.

Of course she has a point. It isn't even about race, if someone kept using a Scouse accent to talk to a Manc - because all Northerners are the same - would get on your nerves I am sure.
=================

No it bloodty wouldnt you weirdo.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Alrite, alrite calm down, calm down. Bloody Scousers are all the same.

But what about the accent is to do with skin colour? There are white people who live in jamaica for example.

In this case then he is being insensitive but he must of known she was african and not carribean surely. All gets confusing.

I can't ever imagine doing what he did to a black person without making sure they were 100% ok with it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Where do you begin with that question?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It probably wouldn't start with a question. You'd be on some level of banter first where you'd know they'd have no problem with you doing it, or you saw how the other person laughed at accents or something.

She either must have made him think it was an acceptable source of banter, or he's incredibly dumb.

Without knowing the situation I wonder if this was a regular thing or a one off? Did she ask the coach to stop or say nothing to them at the time? I’d like to think two adults could have settled this between them with a simple don’t speak to me like that again

"I don't think he meant it maliciously. He may not have been aware of how annoying it got."

Judging by this it went on for a while.

I am guessing Nick, Man Python and Stretty are white and have never faced racism at all or to the levels I have or other ethnic minorities have. That's the only explanation I have.

'how annoying it got'

someone needs to tell her to grow up.

being annoying isnt a crime.

she shouldnt be allowed in a work place with normal people.

classic. When losing an argument spout some nonsense. Trying to pass off your experiences onto a totally seperate incident where we don't have all the details. Moron.

It's what aluko has said it is, ignorant. Why this couldn't all be sorted out behind closed doors god only knows but the FA f everything up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The FA covered up and then tried to blackmail Aluko after being ostracised from the squad. It's not like she didn't go through the right channels.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Most of this is coming out now because the FA don't have an adequate grievance process.

They brought in an independent lawyer to investigate the case when it was reported, who then totally failed to interview any of the witnesses and as a consequence found there was no case to answer.

The investigation was re-opened when other evidence came to light concerning the fact that the coach had previous which wasn't picked up on before he was given the job (or it was ignored by the FA). He was then sacked, and the FA had to issue an apology.

If the FA had actually had a system in place for her grievance to be heard then we probably wouldn't be hearing all the details now.

Oh and yes, the Caribbean accent thing is racist. The poor girl may be black but she's of Nigerian descent, not Caribbean so it was purely based on her skin colour.

Not really at all. You will never understand. That's the basis of it.

Arrrggghhh

Why not bring it up with the person then?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't think there is any evidence either way as to whether she did.
Maybe, with the other allegations she has made, she didn't feel comfortable bringing it up.

Ok. You're just spouting complete and utter nonsense now. Contrary to your belief that it happens in every work place, it doesn't. It really is that simple. Attitudes like that were made illegal in the workplace many years ago.

I run a number of businesses and I can guarantee you that if any single one of my staff or indeed I acted like that there would be a serious investigation at the very least.

You just can't behave like that whether you think it's banter or not. Ignorance is no excuse whatsoever and all companies will employ a zero tolerance to this kind of stuff.

It sounds like all these members of the England staff went to the David Brent School of Humour.
