Would you say this was racist? 18:00 - Oct 6 with 46395 viewsJackoBoostardo

Not too sure about it being racist myself. People can't call Jews, Jews now?

No worse calling us all 'sheepshaggers' surely?!

Yes.

Considering a number of men in that picture are performing what look like Nazi salutes suggest the motivation behind the banner was as a racist tool.

The accompaniment of the word 'pussy' suggests strongly that it was meant in a derogatory manner.

The punishment was the result of the sign.

As already mentioned - isn't it more an insult or derogatory, rather than 'racist'?

do you not think that a sign, for example, which is derogatory and/or insulting based purely on someone's race or ethnicity is actually exactly what racist means??? What on earth do you think racism is if not what you've just defined?

He is a religion hater Lisa, probably going to argue the case that the Jews aren't a race. Which is strictly true but hatred is hatred. Imagine having a banner like that with anti Islamic sentiments when Al Arabi come over for a friendly or playing a Turkish side in the CL. There would be uproar!

Being Jewish is of course both a race and a religion, hence it is perfectly possible for somebody to be a non religious Jew. (I know you know that and I'm not entirely certain why I'm trying to point it out to someone that asked that question in the first place but ho hum). I sometimes think I'm living (or some of us are living) in an entirely different world to others.

Wow.... so may self-righteous people here tonight! Sensitive dabs.

Going back to the question, and the point in question - what here is different to what we see against US as a club?!

So get off your high horses - it's a valid question! We've seen signs calling us "Sheepshaggers" and "welsh c*nts".

And no, this thread isn't condoning anything - it's to get a debate going! Too many people seem lively enough to jump in to think the worst all the time of people.

Source of the photo? Dailymail.

Which is one of my points Lisa.

Racism isn't often seen down our stadium - which is a good thing. But we tend to accept we're being called " Welsh Sheepshaggers" even though, and as you say, it's derogatory.

Haven't seen any other clubs get penalised like this though for being racially derogatory towards us.

Have you reported your concerns to the race relations board?

I always was led to believe any derogatory comments against us were classed as banter. Much as the Ultras often tell us all that England is full of shit.

Seen a couple myself - just not made a big deal of it. However, thought I'd raise the question here as I saw this story....Semi-expecting a more mature discussion of it maybe?

Clearly not.

The difference is (well 99% of us), don't actually shag sheep.

Showing hatred for a religion is slightly different than mocking a stereotype.

How can you determine, from this sign, that there is "hatred"?

Had to be there I suppose. Anyway - the discussion is lost of most here. 'Let's all jump down someone's throat before understanding the point' brigade are in full effect tonight.

Well that was the aim. The intention of the photo was to show people what we're talking about - as clearly the link doesn't show it and not everyone will know what it said.

We can't erase something that's already happened.

The source of the image was the Daily Mail by the way.
