Marca abuse Spurs

[ohtottenham!]

You interpreted it in completely the wrong way. Best to just admit that the subtlety of the joke sailed over your head in your clamour to be offended.

Best to admit, you may be way off the mark.

I think your arrogance is making you miss the pretty obvious intentions behind his posts, but if you want to take things at face value and overreact, knock yourself out.

It’s amazing that anyone could read those posts and not get it. It’s like hearing that Austin Powers joke (“there are two types of people I hate; racists, and the Dutch”) and then crying about them being ignorant racists.

So @absolute bobbins are you a race? Is @mil1lion a black shirt? Is marca an anti-Semitic rag? Do I get an Israeli passport for eating copious amounts of sabra hummus?

Yeah, thanks for tagging me into this @riggi, really fun thread .

@million gets a pass from me, was in poor taste but my Dad was adamant that he was Jewish for a while using the same methodology.

The Jewish Race is complicated one but unlike Islam those who are ethnically Jewish do form a racial group.
The reason Islam is different is because there are many different racial groups that form the Islamic world such as Arabs and Persians.

Oh and yeah, I’ll tell my local Mossad agent and she’ll sort your passport for you, no need to give my your details, they’ll already know.

I’ll call out ignorance when I see it about things I think are worth giving my input. Like I did with million’s post, despite the fact I like him as a poster. What I’m reading in your posts are pointless digs and just fluff!

You really don't get it! Too busy mounting that high horse to see that he was taking the piss out of racist attitudes.

Am I the only one who thought “does Zidane have a big nose?”, googled, clicked on images, zoomed in and thought “huh?”

I always thought Zidane looked like a monk which could be offensive to monks, Christian or otherwise. So, there’s how to make a cross-religious offensive joke/remark.

The thing about who 'looks' Jewish is at best in very VERY poor taste and people should know better. Joke or not, there's some places you just don't go, common sense should tell you that, in this day and age there's no tolerance for it, there's too many people just looking for reasons to give a display of ersatz offence.

Then there's the extraordinarily tiresome sub plot of technicalities as to wether or not there's a Jewish 'race' which has been done to death on SC countless times. None of it is amusing or worthy of this site or sensible people in general. This is only going to go one way, it's all very predictable.

Locked.
