He's dressing up like a rich white person, which is cultural appropriation.

In all seriousness, I don't see the casual racism either. I'm curious where CyberPingu is coming from.

Maybe I misread it. I thought the "yes, very good very good" is an asian stereotype thing.

Huh. I can see how you read that in the tweet, actually.

I thought it was someone acting like they were distracted during a conversation and trying to change the subject.

Is this one of those ladmag accounts?

No, it's a football hipster magazine.

I don't think it was racist at all. It's more of a "Yeah, your Euros are good and all, but have you seen this" imho.

Yeah looking back it's probably that.

Those lines also seem to be from a football magazine fishing for engagement whereas Ralph Lauren dressed him up like a posh twat which is far worse imho

Alctel: Jan 16, 2004; I love snails

So a few years ago, Nike released this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VP7ZDykonzE

with which the English FA counter with this, a pretty much scene for scene remake but with a more realistic take

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Qknteb8Klo

which really captures the essence of Sunday league football (snogging nasty girls, being sick on yourself and every single free kick being blasted into the wall after an argument about who takes it)

Alctel fucked around with this message at 01:48 on Jun 28, 2021
