Ian Botham said that in the Somerset dressing room he once asked Joel Garner if it was true that the size of a black guy's "manhood" was directly proportional to his height. "Oh no". replied Garner, "cause that would mean I'd have to be 10' 6" tall!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderingred Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Perhaps instead of doing the usual " left wing saint" thing and taking offence on behalf of other people, they could execise common sense and actually ask Lukaku (or indeed any black person on this planet) if the chant offends them? It isn't even racial stereotyping because black people do indeed have on average bigger manhoods than white men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedJim Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 I don't find it particularly offensive, myself. BUT the usual shouts of 'it's political correctness gone mad' are so predictable - in fact I see that phrase or the like spewed all the time on this forum. At the end of the day, they are chanting this purely because of the colour of his skin, aren't they - and is that right? I don't believe so.

You are really saying that assuming a black man has an above-average sized penis is not racial stereotyping? Could there possibly be a more clear example of racial stereotyping?? I'm sorry, but my mind is truly blown by this thread. Of course the song is racist. It attributes a particular characteristic based purely on race. How can it not be racist?

The song is about one single person nobody else, so if he isn't bothered by it how can it possibly be racist?, a football chant doesn't have to be true, otherwise 99.9% of fans are committing fraud because their team are not the greatest team my eyes have ever seen. Come back when Lukaku is outraged about the song because it is solely about him and nobody else, he is specifically named in the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I agree that using a strict definition this is racism - Racism is usually presented in a derogatory or discriminate manner. I don't think you can suggest this is aimed as either of those. But I guess it depends on if you think having a 24 inch penis is a good or bad thing. To be honest i find it amusing that this has been picked up upon when for the last decade the Old Trafford crowd has sung songs about Park Ji Sug eating dogs.
