Sorry, no, that's ridiculous. Indian, Chinese and black are not offensive words. Let's not make out they're anywhere in the vicinity of the n and p words.

It wasn't appropriate for him to use the player's skin colour as an identifier in the circumstances but that doesn't mean someone being white, black, Chinese or Indian is an offensive descriptor. It's not.
