I don't understand why people automatically associate washing elephants with Africans?

I certainly don't. If we get into it, most elephants in captivity are in non-African places. If they're wild, they wash themselves. In zoos, do you have to be African to wash an elephant?

Does anyone even wash an elephant? Considering they've got a pretty big nose (I know it's not a nose but it's funnier describing it as one) I doubt anyone does.

So does it say more of the person interpreting if they associate it, rather than how people intend it?

His dad could wash elephants at london zoo! Nowhere near Africa

ok, so we've heard the reasons why its racist... as elephants are indigenous to Africa... And Adebayor is African... And washing elephants is some sort of warped stereotypical view of cheap and low African labour.

I actually don't know if it is a job or not in Afrca as I'm not African, but something tells me, it is derogative.. I mean, Spurs fans wouldn't say it otherwise, right?


Now, you tell me why it isn't racist, dude.

After carefull consideration and research, (Wiki) i come down to the conclusion that this is all about slagging off someones parents, citing, in a rhyme that his Dad has the very low job title of Elephant Washer and his Mum earns her keep via prostitution, both probably untrue, but then insults are often untrue!
I just heard that all Wayne Rooney needs to keep himself happy is a Tyre on a rope, now if that was said about SAHA or CHIMBONDA, then i bet everyone would be shuffling the deck to find the race card!

sorry, indigenous to Afirca and India... Didn't think it neccessary to include India, as he's African (Togolese).

and it is racist because it ties relates African people with absurd jobs such as elephant washing... That is derogative and racist.

its like denying the term "jungle bunny" is racist... judging by the logic some have given, you could say not all black people live in jungles and they're not "bunny's"... Therefore it's not racist???

you're standing on one leg defending this chant. If you (and everyone else) want to sing it, be my guest, but don't deny its racist values.

and it is racist because it ties relates African people with absurd jobs such as elephant washing... That is derogative, it is derogative, its meant to be exactly that! and racist.= This is what is being debated!

its like denying the term "jungle bunny" is racist... judging by the logic some have given, you could say not all black people live in jungles and they're not "bunny's"... Therefore it's not racist???
The above has no bearing on what the chant is or is not, because it is irrelevant!
you're standing on one leg defending this chant. This tells me you see and hear only what you want to see and hear and only your opinion is right, or maybe you just cannot read what i put in my comment, what one is it?If you (and everyone else) want to sing it, be my guest, but don't deny its racist values.
Your end comment is confusing to me, how can you presume i want to sing it? why would i want to sing it? and be careful how you get down from that Horse, it's awfully high!

Are you calling me a poof?

Leather straps and an 8 Ball are not the sort of attire a 'poof' would wear, are they!
