Absolute disgrace he felt compelled to apologise for that 
We have now went full circle and are pandering to idiots, there was zero malice in what he said ergo he has nothing to apologise for. Shocking.

50 year old man doesn't know what's politically correct here, there's no hope for players from far away shores eh

I'm sick of all this shit. Who cares what a person is referred to as in relation to their skin colour? I realise that words such as "Nigger" are seen as offensive, in the social sense of the word anyway, and shouldn’t be used, but, I’m referred to as "White".
My skin isn’t white...I don’t look like a piece of A4 paper when I walk down the street

Yet it's perfectly fine for black people to say the word 'nigger' on a daily basis, in music videos etc

IMHO, this is a problem which is NEVER going to be sorted, nor will it EVER go away.
There's always going to be a clear cut divide when it comes to skin colour.
Divide the world up IMO, with big walls.

They need to just get over it tbf.
Fair enough their relatives suffered for a couple of years, but that was ages ago, its all good now for most of them in this country.
I'm sure that 99% of the population doesn't give a shit about all of this racism bullshit, however it apparently makes good news so its not going to go away.
Black ex-footballers just be making a fortune being interviewed every day

Ian Wright basically, he'll be all over this. He has a column in the Sun and every one without fail mentions a black footballer or Arsenal.

Could sort it out if you only had one skin colour in the world.

I don't like the term, but he shouldn't have to apologise. He was clearly trying to be PC.

Without a word of a lie, I thought that was the PC term. It's what I would say if I were in company I couldn't be myself and call them darkies

This is part of the problrm. I think people like to move the goal posts of "what we can say" on a seemingly daily basis. I think this is so that non-whote people can constantly try and "have one over" on us, and `somehow moan or complan that us white's are a racist.
I net if we were to call someone "brown skinned", it would be a deemed as a racist term, however, i dont see how that term could be any closer to the truth!

It's lucky the the average man in the street doesnt actually give a shit about any of this and as long as they're not being pricks could probably call people what they want as long as it's not Nigger
