With your approach to humour Rocco, I should have pressed charges against 1000 people and understandably that isn't really the way to go about things for silly things said in jest.
You either don't understand the situation we're discussing or you're trying to broaden the scope of the debate to obscure the real issue at hand.
Gascoigne isn't a comedian who is making a joke with a willing participant. He's an old drunk football hero who is deliberately isolating, embarrassing and humiliating a black man in front of an audience of his fans. The black man is in unconsenting participant who has no opportunity to retaliate in return and is being humiliated because he has no voice or choice in the situation.
The fact that you've tried to insert yourself into the argument as some type of victim shows that you're a
pathetic fucktard Miles.
