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




.

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:

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

Think the alcoholic stereotype is the more realistic one

Stereotype?

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