Ffs.

Reminds me of that old joke. Englishman, Irishman and a Chinese man walk into a noodle bar. Barman says - no westerners allowed. Chinese man says - ha, good. Barman says - no I mean no Szechuan or Guizhou province dwellers.

A lot to go on there.

I still regularly hear 'having a chinky' from people who would be utterly mortified if they thought it was racist.

It’s a bit shouty but overall the message is clear. Good job.

Been examples of similar on here from otherwise sound and even politically right on posters. I’ve been saying for years that casual racism toward East Asians is the last acceptable form of racism. Looks like it’s finally getting some attention.

Haven’t heard chinky in years. Oddly the most racism I’ve come across outside of the internet has been from Indians to Pakistanis and vice versa. They really hate each other.

I remember getting into it with someone on the way out of Wembley in 2009. Semi final, I think spurs knocked us out on Penalties. (Could be wrong)

Absolute @#%&! giving it Giggs and a few other black players. Awful @#%&!

I admit to having (once) used it on here, it is still common parlance locally.

When I say anti racist, there was some casual racism that would not be acceptable today, but in the context of the time, United were a beacon of equality and tolerance.

And nobody can tell me otherwise. Because I was there.

Cheers

Same here
