Shock at racist Spanish!!
OK, so not all of them, and it was just to draw you all in.......................but, it did happen in Spain and it was racism, so its not as if I made it up.................
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/moto...ne/7225523.stm It would appear that the Spanish Alonso fans are still a little smarting from last years antics. what's your take on it? |
Re: Shock at racist Spanish!!
Our Spanish friends feel they were robbed.
Doubtless were Alonso English and Hamilton Spanish the gutter press would be whipping up anti european sentiments with it like crazy. |

No, of course it doesn't make it right, it just means that it pays to careful before you throw the first stone.

They've just had Rio Ferdinand on the news talking about just that. There have been calls for Spain to lose it's Grand Prix.

Infact why should it care at all if it's not in it's own interest. |

Re: oooh the shame!
I also watched the people dressed up as Hamilton’s family in the news, and I cannot see how it can be offensive to dressed up as black people. Their message was something like: “Even if we are Hamilton’s family, we have t-shirts supporting Alonso, because we like him better!”. They could have been smarter, and the disguises weren’t too good either, but in this particular case (not in all the other) I don’t see the scandal.
I just remembered a Southpark episode where the town becomes polarised over the issue of their flag, which depicts several white men hanging a black one. The adults are shocked that the children don’t want to change it, but in the end they realise that the children had not noticed that the colour of their skin was different. I have to ask again: what’s racist about disguising as a black person? And even if it was not Carnival, it would be quite normal for people to be disguised in such an event, just like some people go to football stadiums. |
