Whoever is found guilty of being racist should be dealt with.
No place for it, and the club rightfully shouldnt want these sort of people associated with us.

The whole world is going p c mad I dislike the guy next door, I have told him so and any one that asks is told the same, not one person is really bothered about this. If the guy was " of colour " shall we say, I would be called a racist. Funny old world ain't it ? That is PC mad.

I think you can be unintentionally racist or at the very least use racist terms due to ignorance. It's very hard to keep up with what's acceptable these days. Black Brown Coloured Ethnic I'm not even sure myself but I think at least one if not all four of the above would be considered inappropriate. People are walking on eggshells, frightened of saying anything incase they are labelled racist/homophobic/sexist etc. The use of language itself may not be racist if there was no intent to actually discriminate despite being labelled as such. Dont think that's the issue here, but just saying PC doesn't always mean right.

I would agree that the world (this country in particular) is PC mad and that frustrates me as much as anyone. You can be called racist, sexist, homophobic or whatever when you are quite clearly not one. However, in this case, I assume that the racist complaint is a genuine one rather than the world being PC mad. If someone has shouted a derogatory word or said "you black ..." then that is racist and there really is no need for it. It is hard to really know without knowing what was said.

I got sacked from a job recently because I was telling the office about a film I watched and used the word negro which was often used in the film this had no racist content to get it but I was branded a racist and that is one of the reasons we are pc mad I am not a racist but when you look at what happened to me , must we read a rule book on what we can and cannot say If you want to be blatant about it Bristol c**y council are just to blame black boys hill and white ladies road roads that have been named for probably hundreds of years and now they say these are racist names and want to rename them Make up your own mind what is racist or not Utg

Dont think that's the issue here, but just saying PC doesn't always mean right. I completely agree. Walking on eggshells is a good way to put it. People are scared to say what they think in fear of offending people, when in actual fact, I think a lot of these people go out their way to be offended.

It is hard to really know without knowing what was said. indeed, I mean if you think Ellis is a lady garden, Ellis is a lady garden, colour doesn't matter, although obviously I wouldn't want to hear that being shouted at any of our players

Racism is abhorant.
But for me, why are certain forms of abuse put on pedestals compared to others?
Shouldn't all abuse be deemed equal?
It all depends on the individual on the receiving end of it.
Its OK to abuse or make jokes about people being ugly, fat, ginger, even disabilities can be joked about or seem to be open to abuse.
But race and sexual preference seem to be above everything else.
Its a bit like the Islamo-fascism around now too, where as other religions can be criticized or talked about but Islam can not without be being deemed a racist or bigot.
All abuse should be judged the same, surely?
