Only whites are ever accused of racism

Will this story finally put to rest the assertion that the 'authorities' are only ever interested in pursuing race hate crimes when the perpetrator is white and the victim is non-white?

The Sun reports that the ball boy in question is white.

Oh dear here we go again, doesn't that chip get more and more heavy?

And if thousands of whites are accused of making racist statements, perhaps it's because they do!

And if a large percentage of prison inmates are black, then it's because that more blacks are criminals.

The fire has just been ignited, keep warm.

racism can be experienced no matter what your creed colour religion
the people dishing out racist remarks can be of any culture colour religion to
as for police pursuing race crimes you would need to look at statistics and not go on assumptions
I have no idea what Diouf is supposed to have said to the ball boy so can't comment on that aspect. I did see the incident on the TV and the ball boy should be reprimanded for the way he threw the ball onto the pitch instead of handing it to Diouf as he is supposed to.
Diouf is not known for being a patient and tolerant man so it is entirely possible he said something nasty to the boy.
Can you find some other links to back this up please?
When I worked in London the worst racist comments I heard were between a Jamaican and a Nigerian.....they'd both be fine with me (I'm white)....

Craft,I was brought up in inner city Leicester,I had friends of many different nationalities. The worst racism I ever witnessed was between Asian and West Indian people, there was a period during the 80s where gang violence between the two 'factions' was rife.

Hang on...I think we've slightly sidetracked here.

I'm not trying to rate the relative levels of racism subdivided by racial group...what I'm trying to highlight is the ridiculousness of the argument that race laws only apply to Whites.

Let's dismiss that idea of persecution.

Diouf's heated exchange with the ball boy is the latest controversy involving the Blackburn forward, who was was fined by Liverpool and banned by Uefa for spitting at a Celtic supporter during a Uefa Cup tie involving his former club in March 2003. He was also banned and fined for spitting at Arjen De Zeeuw during a Bolton game at Portsmouth.

Do you think that one isolated incident involving an already controversial soccer player, wipes the slate clean of all the numerous times whites are accused of being racist?

Without his referral to the ball boy's skin colour, he should be pulled over the coals for using such disgusting language to a juvenile. The Senegal international is alleged to have said "f**k off white boy"

But don't hold your breath, he will get away with it just like the rest of these overpaid prima donnas.have done in the past.

I think your not seeing the whole picture. The point is, race laws are there for everyone and anyone can be investigated. This story shows that.

And if thousands of whites are accused of making racist statements, perhaps it's because they do!

No smoke without fire.

Dancairo.....

The Senegal international is alleged to have said "f*** off white boy" when the ball boy rolled the ball past Diouf and not to him as he went to take a throw-in early in Rovers' 3-0 defeat.

From the Guardian article I posted a link to earlier in the thread.

I did see it dan,I have to say I was more disgusted that the ball boy tossed the ball onto the pitch when we all know he should have handed it to Diouf. It seemed like a deliberate snub to Diouf.
If he did racially abuse the boy there was certainly no reaction from him and as you said the assistant ref was close enough to have heard any comment made.

You seem to be dodging the question.

The question is "Does this incident prove that race laws are for everyone who claims to suffered racial abuse, and if that's true, is it now fair to stop saying that it's all one sided."

The story seems to prove it to me.

Does it you?

Well said Lucy, sp1814 thinks that by highlighting just one single episode, (which incidentally is at the moment only alleged) it equals out all the numerous times that whites have been accused and then disciplined for being racist.

Very well thought out answer. I agree with you stance completely.

AOG, I refer you back to the main question. Does this story prove that race laws are there to punish everyone?

I raised the question about a black player abusing (allegedy at the moment) a White ball boy in the same way that I would if it were the other way round.

Why the reluctance to debate the core question? Is it because it cripples you argument that race laws are essentially 'anti-white'?

I'm genuinely interested.
