Now I’m not condoning it for a second and what was shouted at Salah in the latest case of racism in football was needless and disgusting but is too much made of racism in football compared to other things chanted at games?
For instance the chant “she said no Robin" to RVP or our fans chanting “you scouse b*stard" to anyone linked with LFC.
My point is are these chants any better than racial abuse? Because nothing is ever made of these type of chants in the media.

There's a difference.
Scousers aren't victims of discrimination - that's about a regional rivalry basically on an even level. Abusing an individual based on something he's alleged to have done is bullying and unacceptable, but again it's just targeting an individual. Racial abuse isn't just about the individual target. It dehumanises the whole race. It's Salah and Muslims in general. Or (to take an example I witnessed live as a child) monkey sounds directed at John Barnes spread the idea that all black people are lesser humans.

going for a job interview down south with a scouse accent, is like going for a job interview in redneckville, south carolina, if you're black

Surely it'd be more like going for a job interview in New York if you're an ill-educated, illiterate redneck?

Too much of the new age, lesbian PC bigade on this thread.
Now I am racially a caucasian (that's WHITE ) but do strive for a decent all-year tanso if someone calls me a stupid, fat, old, white, knut am I offended and if so which word offends me most.
Well I am fat, on the old side and white so I cannot be offended by those words other than "stupid" and "knut".
If someone calls me a fat, old, whitey I cannot be offended as it's all true.
STICKS AND STONES, people should MAN UP

So the Pakistani woman in her 60s who used to get daily abuse from a gang of skins who also put faeces through her letter box, should have chinned a 21 year old?

People making light of it, or giving their opinion that involves punching someone has never experienced racism.
I will say this, humiliation has a direct impact on the propensity radicalisation.
