So an Asian man with a beard is automatically labelled a terrorist? Really?
No wonder people think our fans are a rasist bunch.

It's a picture of Osama Bin Laden.

I thought it was quite amusing and a good way of dealing with him by showing him as an object of ridicule rather than anyone of any significance today.

I am thick if I didn't see something? Now that is a very intelligent well thought out post.
Dont call me thick. I can assure you I am not. And I know who Bin Laden was. You didn't. And another thing I and most Burnley fans I know are not racist depending of course on the defintion of racist. In todays world mention black and white mints and your probably racist.

Mints. Minstrels oh dear Fidel thats asking for self flagelationists, apologists ( for being English) and hand wringers to self harm.
Even the Taiwanese have caught on now. When I used to go there a lot back in day they had a toothpaste called Darkie Toothpaste which featured a minstrel with gleaming white teeth and a hat like Al Jolson wore. They have now changed the name. I thought at the time 80's they can't feature this. But Chinese being Chinese well. I will post some pictures for your attention tomorrow. And before some mard @rse calls me a racist for my comment about Chinese. I admire them. Spent a lot of my life among them.

I wouldn't bother. FWIW I believe your story about the toothpaste, but, you know, times change and all that?
Incidentally, I've yet to meet anyone whose had to apologise for being English, or even felt like they might need to.

Oh English history to qualify my comment. Their are many apologists for that. Funny though I have not heard about any Russians apologizing for Stalins atrcities. Stil that's Russia. One of the worst places I ever worked in
