Not on its own, but bringing Anton Ferdinand into it is. Supporting Terry on that matter is not surprising from a good core of fans who watch England games.
It's not just football chants either. I have a loose theory that when you're entering a street brawl with someone, you grab the closest thing that's convenient to hurl and break someone's face with. If they're bald, black, fat, one-eyed, short -- all of those become the quick weapon that's handy. It's just that we've decided as a civilization that height and baldness are ok but race is not.

I saw the BD vs Man City game (2nd leg) and when Balo came on, the whole crowd was booing and whistling every time he went near the ball. Don't see how that gets ignored but a few fans in Italy make a chant and the whole country's racist.
