Meh, bit of a silly joke but I certainly wouldn't think of him as a racist or as being antisemetic due to that one post

[MTVN]

Liverpool replacing one bigot with another then :idc:

( my Mom is jewish so all of u shut up please)

Good old Mario

[Creggle]

Oh looky, people desperately trying to make something innocent into something racist, well done! :thumbs:

[Niamh.]

There's a difference between being racist and making light of stupid stereo types which is what he was clearly doing here

[arista]

yes he upset the Jews

[Brother Leon]

No worries. Only Rio is punished for his social media posts.

[Kyle]

I wouldn't have deleted it. Stick to your guns Mario.

[MTVN]

FA will have to charge him if they did Whelan tbh

[Crimson Dynamo]

The next Spurs Liverpool game should be fun

[Josy]

FFS no one is allowed to do **** all anymore without being branded some sort of anti something or other

[Northern Monkey]

Lol,That's quite funny.

[Ninastar]

FFS no one is allowed to do **** all anymore without being branded some sort of anti something or other

and there we have it

[JoshBB]

hmm all not too bad but the last part is quite antisemitic tbh

[Mystic Mock]

He was joking around imo.

[armand.kay]

nnn @ "grabs coins like a Jew"

[Locke.]

nnn @ "grabs coins like a Jew"

Can you say that in English please

[Mystic Mock]

He took the piss out of quite a few types of people there, including black people so I doubt that he was being racist.

It was a joke, are jokes not allowed to be made anymore? His an idiot but he does not strike me as a racist.

[Nedusa]

It was OK up to the last part IMHO , but jumps like a black man and grabs coins like a Jew... ffs , talking about shooting oneself in the foot.

Why did he have to add the last two lines, up to that point it was harmless




.

[Headie]

nnn @ "grabs coins like a Jew"

welp

Not sure he himself added them but I agree, just incredibly stupid and obviously going to get him in trouble

[Shaun]

-would've thought he just reblogged it because he's called Mario and has played in England/is Italian tbh-

but yes maybe crop off the bottom bit

[MTVN]

Mind you does Mario really look like a Mexican :think: I've never considered him to do so before

How are the last two lines any more racist than 'looks like a Mexican'???????

People need the sand removed from their vaginas tbh :(

Maybe because it's a derogatory stereotype of a personality trait rather than a comment on the distinctiveness of someones appearance

The Jewish comment, yes, but the jump like a black man is nothing to do with personality, it's geared more towards appearence than that due to it being a stereotype that black men are much more athletic than men of other races.

I still don't see why people are up in arms about this, it's harmless fun and if it offends people then good, that just marks out those in society who need to lighten up, a wake up call for them so to speak.

I wish society had more things like this. :spin:

It's quite a good stereotype as far as sterotypes go, better than Irish people are all alcoholics :hmph:

[Crimson Dynamo]

Bearing in mind the nazis played on the jewish stereotype regarding coin grabbing during WW2 then its a very poor taste "joke".

But that vile thick twat Ballotelli would have no idea about that

Heh, tbh when I think of the Irish I just think of the awesome accent & pretty girls :joker:

Oh and like the entirety the 1940s US police force :worry:

Think the alcoholic stereotype is the more realistic one

Shut up Matthew :fist:

Stereotype?

I got taught that at school as a fact and the last time I was in Dublin it was confirmed for me.
