This is nothing to do with pc nonsense. It is just straight offensive.

Its only how you perceive it I think it was intended to be a joke and that’s the way I see it. Why are you getting your knickers in a twist over something that doesn’t even concern you?

Perception exactly. Did anyone ever perceive that the PG Tips adverts were intended to portray black people as stupid removal men, ignorant Tour de France spectators, simple road workers....etc? Conversely, I don't think anyone every perceived that fans throwing bananas at black players were doing it because they thought they were hungry.

Just looking at John Barnes at the Liverpool game and it looks like he ate ‘em all.

I'm sure that black players get abuse as "weighty" players get who ate all the pies abuse and goal keepers get comments about their wives taking it up the back passage.

What gets me though is why this is apparently a problem for Sterling and Rose but doesn't seem to be a problem for Rashford and Walcott?

Is it an issue with " we know it winds you up" rather than true racism?
