Please tell me you are joking.

So what should we do? Let possible racist things slide? Maybe we should let that Someone guy post the number 88 and HH everywhere, you know, because we're so sensitive to stuff like that...
"Possible racist" has the same problem as letting cops put people in jail as possible criminals. It casts a net too wide. Some people do make racist comments, even though they probably don't mean to. Some people merely make comments that can be construed as racist in your society but not in theirs (and not because racism is rampant there, either).

Not this year. I had nothing against the Italian teams in CL this year.

And you were against Inter, an Italian team, so you can't really support the pro-Italian teams in Europe view.
Inter is Inter, Alen.

The mere sight of them makes me physically sick.

TBH I was just joking with Burke about how racist that post really was without the guy fully realising what he had said.

I wonder if you're always joking because you tend to jump on the racist thing quite a lot.
That's because I can't stand the fact that some opinions about Arabs are considered racist and opinions of the same category about Belgians or Italians normal.

Maldini, Pirlo, Gattuso, Favalli.. Milan have quite a lot of Italians if you compare them to Liverpool or Man U.
1) It never implied such thing.
2) Well, it IS strange for one who only follows Italian football and is witnessing racist jeers and mocks against Black players week in week out.
But it did.
I'm trying to see racism in everything? Me, the one who is constantly called a bigot? That's rich.

It implied all Italians hated black people. How is that not racist?
That is what I got from it.
Why is that? Because I think it's moronic to believe in Allah?
:lol2:

If that's the reason you're a bigot, then I'm the son of Hitler and Polpot.
No, thats not it. You know full well the reason i think your a bigot.
I don't know, he doesn't know, so I think you're talking out of your eye socket.

You are a racist.

What Rab said is that i come with excuses just because i hate Milan. He is doing the same by saying "Inter are not Italian and that's why i don't support them".

The fact is i hate Milan, he hates Inter and we want the worse for them. If he accepts that it's possible to hate Milan more than Inter and i accept that it's possible to hate Inter more than Milan, there will be no arguments at all.

To you Inter are different and more hatable, to me they aren't. Arguing this is almost the same as arguing with a Bayern fan and telling him that he should support Juve, because Juve are Juve. Makes no sense.

Why is this even an argument?
