All this tells me....is something I knew anyway. People of low self esteem or ethics will latch onto any crumb they can to gain an advantage. They have no sense of honour about it....they will play any card available to them to gain advantage. While the system allows it they will do it.

That's how I see the nonsense with skin colour. If someone is genuinely mistreating another person because of skin pigment then over time a lot of people will end up knowing it.....I've worked with people over time and you find out stuff. No one is perfect and for some people race matters more to them than it should. But, I can only think of two people I ever worked with like that.....and they weren't in charge of anybody.

However.....when it comes to....how some probable chipper victim twerp reacting to a jokey reference to skin colour....sorry mate...not for me. That may be a world you feel is an acceptable environment but to me that becomes an environment of fear and neurotic witch hunting.

Like I said when this situation first came out and it became obvious that the FA were pathetically leaving their manager out to dry....any man looking to take over that job is a moron looking for trouble.

I don't see that as racist or even a grey area at all. What if Ebola had been in France and someone said to Yohan Cabaye that they hoped his family didn't bring Ebola over with them. Would that still be considered racist?

It's something you might hear in a comprehensive school playground, a blue colour environment, or from one of many t1ts in a football changing room. It's not something you're going to hear very often in an office professional environment or I wouldn't have thought the school staff room or the changing rooms in private schools. If you did there'd probably be a word in the ear, similar to what should've happened in the case of this woman, some reeducation of racist or inappropriate remarks, or stern warnings.

I have some sympathy for him but he's managing the England women's team, not a local hungover Sunday team full of gutter language where anything goes. It's been a few years since Moody and Mackay's textgate so the FA are of course not going to risk having its image tainted further.

The biggest crime to me is that it was unfunny and lacking any wit, just like a lot of football player banter. But the point is that it would be inappropriate in a lot of today's working environments, usually with higher socio economic groups who they want to attract more so don't be surprised if the FA think behaviour is inappropriate and can be easily dispensed with.

What rude response?

You are totally missing the point. The person could be from anywhere, any colour and it could be any contagious disease.

Like I said, if she had been White we would not be having this conversation. The whole thing is political bulls***. The 'race' card has been well and truly played.
