Seems excessive... especially since if you jailed all the racists in relation to football there would be well... a LOT.

Wasn't there a french politician a while back who was complaining because most of the french team was black?

Doesn't sound that offensive depends what kind of word he used in french for 'black'..

Curious what this guy said though and i guess they made an example of him and that is something I can't disagree with.  

To be fair I think it happened back in 2007 now that I think about it.  There was a whole big story about when Obama was elected just how shockingly racist a lot of the coverage and commentary was and in general a primer about how a lot of europeon comments on race even by leaders would shock americans.

Pretty sure this was the incident.

In the US people get the hell beat out of them for using terms that are sometimes racist in a non-racist way.


you should specify countries. there are so many different cultures/laws and whatever in europe...

just because some of european countries have the same currency and we have the eu doesn't mean a swede or sweden is like italy or an italian (as example)

it's like i would say "damn canada or mexico" because of george bush.

If we were talking about sexism sure.  Racism, though the US still has a ways to go itself, i'd put it up against any country in europe as far as recent history goes

ok let's talk about racism in luxembourg, what are your experiences there?

to think racism in usa isn't as bad as in other countries has to be a joke...i'm not saying it's worse there but i won't believe it's better there.

and for example in germany almost everyone was for obama. he was the most beloved presidential canditate of the usa here in germany i can think about. if you would have asked germans who they hope to win in usa almost everyone would have said "obama"

so as example i believe here in germany racism isn't worse than in usa. no clue how you can think it is. i believe for example it's still damn hard for black in some parts of usa. i don't believe you don't have some parts in usa were a lot of racists live. because of the slump, most who lost their job as example in detroit were black people. they were the first who had to go.

and i don't have to fear to get shot when i try to come over the border here, ask some mexican families what they say about this. it's clearly the message "people we don't want here have maybe to die trying to come to usa illegally".

and i never saw so many police videos were you can see policeman punching and kicking some black guys just because they are black. damn they are policeman!

we have some idiots here like every country has and since we don't just have "republicans or democrats" we surely have this stupid npd here but if you wouldn't only have the two-party-system and would have a political system like other countries have with a bigger diversity you would have a party like the npd as well.

and talking about sexism, there i would think usa isn't as bad as some other countries for example in europe but this is as well really different from country to country.
