Point is you have to change with the times and it isn't the 70's any more.
No you don’t .Choose not to but don't be surprised if you're looked upon as a dinosaur.
Again, you don’t have to adapt either, who says you do? Is it all the people who are trying hard to find a problem in everything, to find a confrontation and of course to find offence, oh yes, better change to keep them happy as they are sooooo important.
Seems that people these days are making it their mission to meddle in other people’s lives and instead should maybe look at themselves.

It's not a positive stereotype though.
It is racist because it is a myth used in the past to stop white women sleeping with black men. Oh, don't have sexual relations with a black man because his penis is so big it will tear you apart.
Er, I am not sure you know much about women.It is racist because it is a myth used in the past to stop white women sleeping with black men. Oh, don't have sexual relations with a black man because his penis is so big it will tear you apart.
So, some of you are offended on behalf of someone ,who so far isn’t offended, about a large multi cultural crowd singing a song that references something you know to be a myth ( well, for now, I’m sure you can dig harder on the internet for some “facts” ).

Oh, for those shouting racism and offensive could I just point you to my first question posted earlier..
If his brother sings the song is it racially offensive?

The fact that it's now seen as a compliment is pretty meaningless. Having a lot of money is a good thing, but if someone says "he's a Jew, he's bound to have loads of money" it's still offensive. Even if the player himself isn't bothered about it, others in the crowd who know the history behind it may not be happy with it.
In 2017, what's the point of it anyway. Surely they can come up with something better. I'm going for:
Romelu Lukaku
He scores a goal a game.
But a decent striker would get 5
If the chances were the same.
Because he's mediocre at best.

Winged horses don't exist but women do like big cocks and they certainly do exist.
Weather the stereotype is true or racist I have no idea.

Whether you're offended or not, I'm not sure how anyone can say it isn't racist. It's perpetuating a myth based on racial stereotyping. Does anyone actually believe the chant started because someone has actually seen his cock and it's genuinely big? I suspect it's because is it because he's a big, powerful, black male.

Surely this can be solved by:
"Mr Lukaku, is this chant offending you?"
+1"Mr Lukaku, is this chant offending you?"
I am doing my level best to stay out of this thread but I laughed out loud at the bell curve comment.
Curious to know what John Barnes et al. have to say on the topic, I think he is one of the best people to give an opinion on this.

If that was directed at me, you misunderstood my point which related specifically to Norfolkingclue's post.I agree with you- the chant is racist, although I, personally, am not offended as it wasn't directed at me. And of course, if it had been, it would have been a lot less offensive as I am white so it would not of been linked to the black man as animal myth.
