Effin ell... 12?Doesn't learn being an asshole on his own.
Exactly. I'd be arresting his parents at the same time.

Quote from: Toronto Villa on July 12, 2020, 03:20:10 PMHe isn’t one of us. Disgusting piece of shitQuote from: Deano's Mullet on July 12, 2020, 04:02:36 PMNot one of us. Ban him.I’m not being deliberately provocative here. It’s subtle so bear with me and have a think before quickly responding. The statement he’s not one of us, was quickly challenged on Twitter and at the time I agreed when I saw the response to that, that you are getting upset about the wrong thing. Yet, seeing it here a few times, I do agree with the sentiment. I wish he/she wasn’t a villa fan, will hopefully get banned (and experience with the club on racism at a game this season was very very good, so I do trust them on that), and I hope/trust they are not on H&V.But it’s too easy to do that ‘othering’, that implies none of our fans are racist and say it’s not part of us. It is at times, consciously or unconciously. Got to rush out to work so not at my most carefully worded, but hope this makes sense. I think especially in the context of BLM, we need to own it a bit more, and (I’ll get accused of being a snowflake, don’t care), on average check ourselves a bit more too. A bit of context. You’ll be bored of me referencing Akala’s everyday racism video on the guardian website, but ah here you go again only 3.5mins from 2015 that hasn’t aged a bit. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/video/2015/mar/18/everyday-racism-what-should-we-do

Not one of us. Ban him.
Depends on how much he's heard that sort of terminology growing up. If such things have been said on a regular basis at home then he'll know them and the meaning.
