    Suarez...

    ..got banned for calling Evra a 'negro'? Well, is he a negro or not? Or can we not say negro now?

    I think Evra is a negro.

    I think 8 games is very harsh, but as with the Diane Abbott thing unfortunately race issues will always provoke a Daily Mail style out cry much to the dismay of common sense

      Best to call everyone white, you are always safe with that colour. Not that 'negro' is a colour

        Not allowed. But as I'm a white, I guess you can say Evra is a black.

            It is just ridiculous. They had Negro as an option in the 2010 US census next to Black and Afro-American. If a whole country as PC as the US can use it why can't we.

            Problem is any word can be offensive if said with enough venom and spite. It is the use of the word that is offensive of which he is probably guilty but god help us all if the way you say something becomes such a big issue

                I bet if you called a black man a Honky you'd still get in trouble.

                    To be called 'Caucasian' in russia, i.e. from Kavkas, is a supreme insult, hence the derogatory term 'Chornaya Zhopa' i.e. 'Black arse'....
