Normally i'd be politically incorrect and immediately just call this guy a racist and be done with it in my judgement, but it's been made clear to me that over-using the term "racist" is a bad thing, and also that being so politically incorrect is apparently destroying this country so in an effort to mend my ways i'd like to offer my sincere concolences to this gentleman because in the past i would have jumped to the wrong conclusion.
Hopefully i'll never have to experience life with this particular physical handicap, but if something terrible were to happen then I hope I could get past it enough that i wouldn't be ashamed of my disability, and be as outgoing as this gentleman clearly is. Good luck to you, sir.

It's disgusting. He should be banned from entering a football stadium ever again.
Can't ask for a more clearer pic.
But I won't jumo to be all upset, offebded and to defend Mr Sinclair, because he's still a massive pr1ck

When did the term twohat become racist?
Where about's in Wales is he from?
If its North, he's probably English anyway.

I did know.
If they're from North Wales there's a good chance they're English somewhere in their bloodline.
Always worth saying that for a wind up, used to work for me in school.

I'm sorry, but a tw4t is a tw4t whatever their colour or wherever they are from. The fact he is kicking off because you pointed out he's an inbred Druid merely proves it.

Of course it is racist. You only inserted the word 'welsh' because you think it is degrading. You can call him tw4t as much as you want. It's adding in the nationality card that makes it offensive.

There is racism but there is only one race of humans so technically it's a form of discrimination that is wrongly worded but we have it now & in certain countries such as The US they still persist with this scientifically inaccurate way of labelling humans.
Discrimination on the grounds of ethnicity could include the Welsh particularly if ethnicity also includes culture & heritage.
Otherwise it would be discrimination on the grounds of nationality.

Embarrassing English Hooligans shame country"
Is that racist or descriptive/informative?
"Pakistan bowlers shamed our sport"
Is that ok? Should it just be bowlers?
Its a very confusing line, especially if you are not racist and treat everyone with the same actions/opinions.

So, IT thinks it is fine to mock retards, well, I already knew this because he's mocked me for long enough.
But at what stage does a state of retardedness become a condition which is recognised as requiring treatment?
And this chap in the picture may not be a retard after all, he could be a sufferer of the rare condition 'Goriliatia', a condition that makes the patient look and behave like a gorilla.
My point is he's either one or the other (r tard or giriliatia sufferer), and mocking people is not a very PC or Liberal thing to do. A bit more understanding please.
