Is This Really Racism?

[joeluke]

........or yet another case of people 'finding' racism when it's not actually there?

Would anyone have said anything if a black child had used make up etc to transform himself into his favourite white player?

No, of course it's not racist!

And the fact is - he has his picture taken with El Hadji Diouf!!!

If he thought it was okay, why is anyone else getting on their high horses.

So if a lad shaves his head because his favourite footballer does, is this making a mockery of bald people? As sp says, if the footballer concerned isn't complaining then nobody else should.
