Not in football section as it goes to the definition of racism, the sport angle is merely incidental..

Fans are in hot water due to one of their new chants.

http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/41317495

It goes like this:

Romelu Lukaku,
He's our Belgium scoring genius,
He's got a 24 inch penis,
Scoring all the goals,
Bellend to his toes.


I understand that the fans have said they will stop singing it if Lukaku asks them to stop.

What say PH, is it racist?

Well it's certainly a racial stereotype isn't it.

Seems a pretty sensible take on it - it's just a bit of a tttish thing to do in 2017.

People compete now to be more offended and more important than the next person.

Was at a non-Prem match last weekend, and the atmosphere has been completely sucked from the stadium. Fans are either silent for most of the game or singing lame chants that sound more like nursery rhymes. No wonder UK attendance figures are collapsing, the fun and humour have gone.

Well in today’s pathetic world of the offended I would guess that if I, a white man, sung it some precious little flower will become offended.
However for anyone about to post up that they find it offensive, a couple of questions....

If Jordan Lukaku sings it is it still racist, or is it fact?
How many of the crowd singing it were of the same ethnic background as Romelu and are they exempt?
Haven’t you got something better to do with your pathetic lives than trying to bully people, you vile liberal cancer?

It's certainly a racial stereotype and perhaps not in the best of taste considering that it's being sung in public but on the other hand there's no malice (or I don't think that there is anyway) in it - I'm plumping for yes, but no (or no, but yes, if you're that way inclined)

It may well be a racial stereotype, but as it's a positive one, does that make it more or less acceptable than a negative one?

I bet he couldn't care less.

I'd be offended if he stood next to me at the urinals.

Sounds like he'd be standing a bit behind you...

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.

No the tune is the Stone Roses. Tear you apart was Joy Divison, do keep up at the back.

If they can pass a baby then a black pudding wont be any problem. Can you imagine one of the snowflakes being at OT in the 70s, I cant remember the player but the Stretford end sang "we saw you get your foot chopped off last night" the day after roots was on TV. The little darlings would have fainted on the spot.
Irrespective of whether the myth was literally true, it was part of a view of black men as being more 'animal' than white men, and that is certainly racist.

Just look at the Lovehoney site to see the best seller. It's not the 2" tickler.

He might actually have an enormous cock, in which case the chants are factual and there's no racial angle whatsoever.
