e: I misunderstood what you were saying

It's outrageous enough to be an international referee identifying someone by skin colour to a colleague instead of using common sense, but the whiff of racial epithet makes it stink worse.

That guy.

This fella.

The third one.

The dude with the mask.
Very specific and unique.


OR, the only black guy.
I mean, yeah, you used a unique feature to identify him.
Sorry man, black is said in a lot of languages and a lot of cultures without people making GBS threads their loving pantaloons.


The ref provided an excuse for pant-shittery much in the same way I provide one to my friends when I say "you guys want to go for drinks?" and there's a girl in the mix. what do you MEAN you GUYS. The escalations came from the dude thinking he got racism'd but gently caress, he was already throwing a loving fit. I think it was just an excuse.

That said, I'm glad the teams responded as they did and did something about it.

I don't defend racism. I also don't defend Karen if I can avoid it.

I'm gonna go on a limb here and say that referees shouldn't point out people by their skin colour during a professional football match. Controversial take, I know

I'm not saying he was right, I'm saying he isn't supposed to get lynched for it, nor is this a global meltdown.

It's a non-issue in most cultures, not a slur.

This is an odd post man. What if the guy literally just said the first three things in your post? I doubt the official had any sort of racist intent at all but that doesn't mean he couldn't have picked his words better to not sound like it.

What if he did?

The reply would be "which one?"

Really?

Then he could point to him?


I love how you're trying to get me to reason that there is a better way to describe a person.


I know there's a better, smarter way to describe a person. Culturally it's not how I would do it.

My point is that it was an unambiguous direct descriptor that culturally means something entirely different in other places. I don't know how to point this out any more directly.

The offended party's response might not have been due to the referee's intent.

Because if the answer isn't "an English speaking imperialistic culture" then he may have a different perspective than you and it might not be total dogshit when he says that.

I know you are too thick to understand this, but racism is a concept and concepts are interpreted through a cultural context.

You're entitled to your opinion Cannon_Fodder, but I can't say I agree with you. I don't think you are a racist and I don't think the ref was intending to be a racist, but if you can't see a problem with what he said and why you really shouldn't say that kind of stuff then I don't know what to tell you.

Let's look this over then.

It's a case-by-case nuanced thing and in this incident, I think it's a misunderstanding across two different cultures. Not rampant intentional racism. Unfortunately, things are binary with some people.

Karl Sharks posted:

yeah and the fact this long time high level ref after seeing all the issues in the news with race still went with "the black one" instead of a half dozen other things is telling imo


This, too, is a salient point.

A depressing number of Brazilian footballers were Bolsonaro supporters (including Alisson, Fabinho and Firmino).

I find it harder to think of the ones who really campaigned against him. Juninho is the only one I can think of with confidence. Dani Alves, maybe? He stayed kind of quiet during the actual elections, though.

And Moura :(

I was going to say he's not all bad, he signed Bale. Then I realized that was Juande Ramos. 'Arry picked up Crouch, Van Der Vart, Danny Rose, and presided over a literal riot.

On the off-chance you're not just trying to bait me, I've been invited to combine parties and heartily passed because I disagree with how they present players (akin to an auction) and how lonely and boring that party would have been. Additionally, they never have good beer.
