I don't think Gravesen is a racist, just because he looks scary doesn't mean he's a racist. He is a very nice guy off the pitch it seems from interviews I've seen with him. Anyways there could be a million other reason why he turned down an interview besides racisme. And Even if is true, why would he make clear that he didn't wanna give the interview because he hates Arabs, he could've just said he was tired or busy instead? Doesn't make sense to me.
Just think it's a strong statement to say that Gravesen is a racist.
