It all depends on context... the reference to your racial characteristics could, arguably, add to the offence? |
You can and presumably are offended by whatever you find offensive.
I was resonding to this: Quote:
I would suggest the lesson from that is not that asians should be less offended by racism (after all it didn't offend you!) but rather that racism is experienced differently when you are part of a minority race in a country that has been (and some would argue still is) both culturally and systemically prejudiced against your race. |

I respect your opinion and I believe we want the same goal however we branch off a little in the application. It's the last I will say on the subject except I have enjoyed the debate it has been good. See you around the forum. :spin: |

But to go back to the OP: I don't think it's the be all and end all of someone if they have racist views, or have acted in a racist way. Not saying it doesn't colour (:p) my opinion of them, but people are complex and people can and do change their views in life.
I am not much drawn to him though...regardless of this issue. He just doesn't interest me particularly as a person. But we'll see how it goes. maybe he'll turn out to be funny and warm... |
I have a feeling Ron is still trying to alter public perception of him. His appearance on Celebrity Wife Swap didn't work well with him in denial basically.

Ouch. Didn't go very well then?
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say i don't expect he has very modern views on women either? |
I don't like him

No, I don't think he is racist.

He made a racist comment and meant it to offend. We have to acknowledge the difference in era and maybe it was an unfortunate slip.
I don't think he views other races as lesser. As others have said, he probably just holds archaic, stereotypical views. |

BIG Ron has done more to promote black players in The English Game than anyone, you ask any of the players of colour who played under him and they'll all defend him and tell you that he is no racist.
|
We've all said silly things that we later regretted. He's managed black players in his managerial career.
