Bernado Silva "Racism"

[Lurker#3]

Bernado Silva is the latest in line for a bashing from Kick it Out after tweeting about an ongoing joke between him and Mendy which compares Mendy to a character from the packaging of "Conguitos" a Spanish chocolate snack.

Necessary consistency from kick it out or are they taking it too far?

The article does not really help . Zero context. No picture of the wrapping.

Intent doesn't matter anymore apparently. I can see why some may be offended by it and it was moronic to put it on a public forum but Ffs it's a joke between what are clearly two friends.

The irony of all this is that I usually miss out on seeing these things deemed to be offensive first hand, it's only once major news stations who are apparently also offended plaster the quotes and images all over their airwaves, websites and television.

"Everybody look at this horrible thing that we find offensive. No one should have to see this right? Look at it"

Has anyone asked what Mendy thinks?

It doesn't matter. Those who have no idea about their relationship should be the ones to decide.

Then perhaps, they should continue this joke on a private platform.

He laughed at it, prompting him to be tagged an Uncle Tom by some.

Really? So mates can't take the piss out of each other nowadays in public? FFS.

So if the P C brigade can't get one, they will get the other.
