Jeez! In context, clearly not racist. This type of nonsense does not help the real fight against racism.

Totally ridiculous. If ever there was a definition of Political correctness gone mad - this is it. What next, renaming that stuff you use to clean paint brushed - white spirit? I guess if that's the yardstick of what is 'racist', then the mods might have to consider renaming our forum, as that seems to suggest only people of an Oriental race are welcome on this forum.

This isn't going to go down well with black cab drivers.

There is enough real discrimination and bigotry to fight against without this silly nonsense.

We could well be in trouble then. Yellow Army - clearly racist.

I am asking the New Zealand rugby team to change their moniker from the '"All Blacks".

Whereas, in contrast to my last post on the Lukaku thread, this is clearly not in any way racist and just PC gone mad, I tells you.

Yep, this is total bollocks. Totally different thing from the Lukaku issue. I thought it was 1 April when I saw that BBC link.

I can entirely see if you didn't know the context how you'd see the nickname and think it was a bit off, so I have a little bit of sympathy for those who were taken aback but I don't understand how, now more or less everyone has a computer in their pocket, people couldn't check before assuming that tranmere rovers is some sort of national front stronghold
