Our best player is Asian. His teammate has just did something extremely racist toward Asians. And here is SC almost apologizing for someone whose repeatedly done some very stupid things in the past. Its time his actions caught up to him. Great footballer but a fucking idiot who needs to be sat out a long time.
I didn't know Kane was Asian!


I'm gonna stick my neck out here and say that Dele didn't intend his comments to be taken as racist. Yes, they were kinda racist but I don't think he intended it.

And Son is his best mate in the squad so he'd be mortified to think that he's offended him.

What did Dele actually say and do in this video?

He's wearing a mask to protect himself from virus, looking nervously around with eye darts and then he pans and zooms in on an asian guy who's in the same place as him.

I'm sure that similar jokes have been made on here a few times.

I am an Asian and I find your "kick him out of the first team for a year or 2" suggestion unreasonable. Fine and prehaps 3 matches ban is enough for me. I know his apology could be cheap but he did apologize immediately. It is not the case that he refused to apologize and keep saying bad things

As far as I can work out he insinuated that an Asian guy at the airport might have the coronavirus, with the context of the joke that he himself was fully prepared as he had antibacterial hand gel? Was that it? All he has shown is ignorance which he promptly apologised for.

I'm sure this'll blow over quicker than Ciara.

Invasion of privacy aside this was stupid and nothing more IMO.

Although he needs to choose his friends a bit wiser though.

I can't lie, that sounds very funny. If Larry David was the one making that joke, people would be haling him as a hero.

Is he an idiot? yeah but you know what I know and recall when I was 23 I was also doing stupid things. The majority of us did. The thing is things have moved on with technology and 15 years ago we didnt have social media as it is today. If we did im sure most of us would have been in trouble.
I would have got in trouble once.

But then I would have had the intelligence to learn from that and avoid it in the future.

He's made that vid and sent it viral. How's he not thought actually....

He made a cheap racist joke in private and is now being chastised for it. It is his fault for being naive in this situation by trusting the wrong people. He has apologised and that's it. What more can he do?

It's not racist its a fact. The virus comes from China. Why is it offensive. I hate society today. Can't do or say anything without it being offensive

I think we all know the intention behind it besides it's not you're right to call out what is and what isn't offensive if it doesn't effect you.

Anyway silly joke, he apologised and now we can move on.
