    If people read something else into it that's up to them.
    So you've seen him then...or is it a racist stereotype?

    Semi is also very quick athletic and mobile which I also mean as a compliment but some would also perceive to be a stereotype.

    I,ve often heard athletics commentators mentioning that a 100m final is all black.
    The best long distance runners are black African from a certain Rift Valley in Kenya. Again all compliments in my view but maybe some get offended when observations like that are mentioned.

    We,re too quick to not want to offend certain types of people when it's not necessary.
    The irony is that people didn't want to offend and cause racial tensions in the Asian community when people thought something might be happening. Ok to let down those poor children but let's not say anything to a certain racial group
