Like I said, it was a joke.
Jokes are funny. Racism and widespread infections arent
Racists find it difficult to spot racism.You know what else isn't funny? Seeing racism where there isn't any.

I have to agree. Dele's tweet was clearly stupid. Most likely he would have posted similar if it was any country where coronavirus was taking hold and just chosen one representative of the race that was involved to feature in his 'joke'.You know what else isn't funny?

Ridiculous it wasn’t racist, maybe poor taste but I’m sure we’ve all laughed at poor taste before!Jokes are funny. Racism and widespread infections arent

I agree 100% that the tweet was ill-judged, prejudiced and based on stereotyping, but it was not racist. Racism is acting on the beliefs that one holds. Unlike some *ahem VARDY* Dele didn't treat anyone differently or call them names because of their race. Not that it's so much better, but Alli was being prejudicial and stereotypical.
As I said above, I think he'll get a one game ban, similar to what Bernard got for his tweet about Mendy. Hopefully Dele will learn something about what is appropriate and not to post, especially as a person with his standing.
We could debate back and forth all day parsing the definitions of each term, but for me his tweet wasn't racist in and of itself. I think the tweet reflected a stereotype and not any inherent belief or behaviour against Asians.His tweet demonstrated racism prejudice which is a form of racism in itself.

Whilst I agree with sentiments of your post, there is something inherently wrong about someone who hold prejudicial views about someone because of race.I have to agree.

Oh jog the fuck on. So now you're a racist unless you say racism is everpresent? How was this situation even remotely racist?Racists find it difficult to spot racism.
