Postecoglou's fixture chaos, dazzling Dragusin and Rodrigo Bentancur's big mistake 

Was Bentancur doing the said gesture as well? Unless he was seen doing the same slanted eye gesture, it's a huge stretch trying to punish him for simply being in the same team as Valverde. Are all French NT players pedophiles because they played with Benzema? I don't believe he did it with any malicious intent. Given the history of Uruguayan players, it is evident that they are unfortunately very ill educated on a such matter. He should be participating in the preseason tour and apologize.

Yeah. While I understand such comment is normalized & acceptable in Uruguay vs the rest of the world,, that doesn't make it ok for fans in other parts of the country. Hope he learns from it and never makes such a remark again. His performance on the pitch will be scrutinized more than ever by Korean fans and ridiculed for any bad day in the office moments.

no. Lack of games means less squad faitgue and more time on the training ground. If we had 2 games a week last season, we would be well below 5th, especially with the mini injury crisis even with 1 game a week.

Too much... I am Korean living abroad and I don't get offended by such comments. I'm not inferior to anyone and I feel the same when I see westerners. If I said it it wouldn't be a racist remark, but if a westerner said it it would be one. Not fair, isn't it?

I don't think you fully understand why it is serious racial discrimination. South Koreans or any other Asians are not the manufactured products. Each individual has their own unique characteristics and structure. I've read a lot of comments defending him saying like they also couldn't see the difference between Koreans etc.

It's just proving that they don't have good educational background or decent job unfortunately tho. There are more than half of students in top tier univ across the world are asian for sure. How could they even communicate with asian classmates and profs? You go check the asian% of LSE, AA school, Manchester, Oxford or whatever well known schools in big city.

@@DL-uc1fj It’s not that deep. And no one said anything offensive. Saying someone looks like someone else is not derogatory. Sonny is a handsome guy so by that logic all Koreans are handsome? What’s so offensive. It’s a dumb sweeping statement but literally holds no malice. People are so soft on the internet.

Différent cultures/social norms can take joke in different ways. And it is not what other races to decide whether it's racism to Asian or not. I personally reckon that any racial slurs or banters can be made between frds, but not on media. & some fans talk like they're entitled to take it as a joke on behalf of Asians making things worse tbh. Why it's so offensive? Individual's unique characteristic and genetic diversity are completely dismissed. Again how human beings all look the same? Did Rodri say Son and person (A) look the same? If he specified the person, of cuz it wouldn't have happened like that😅 i guess there's no more exchange needed cuz even after Gold's explanation people seemed not understand what's wrong with Rodri's statement. Just hope things get better. Cheers.

Not sure I would classify it as "heinous", nor have I heard anyone else call it that, but it certainly was bang out of order

its not about being offended. The comment was ill-advised and inappropriate for public broadcast. The "they all look the same" comment dehumanizes the individual person as a caricature of their ethnicity. It is a very common rcial "joke" against asians to make fun of their ethnlclty, implying they all sound look and behave the same like robots with no individual characteristics. And to say that to describe your captain on public? Why make the joke? seriously. why make it? Its not original nor creative. Its a comment used to point fun at them. Can I make mnkey chants at vinijr and brush it up as a joke and that everyone should pipe down because everyone is a "snowflake" for being offended? Open your eyes.

@@Narodov1 I wonder, did any asian person never made a similar joke as if "every white person looks the same"? I am sure there has been PLENTY jokes like that. I am a "white person" and I can guarantee you that I would NOT be offended by that. Actually, I would share few laughs with person making this joke. Because to me this is all there is, A JOKE. A joke is ment to be/as a joke, nothing else. Share few laughs and I can promise you, a world will be a much better place. As opposed to getting offended every g-damn time by everything.

I'm not out to get Benta for this since he apologized and considering past incidents with other Uruguayan players it has to do more with the country's perception as a whole rather than Benta individually. However, the remark does have racist connotation. If he said the same with Biss, Sarr, Royal, or Udogie, the outrage wouldve been worse. Hope he learns from it and doesn't make the same mistake. Also, those kind of jokes might be acceptable in private, but not when you are on media.

Hahaha it's funny how come white dude decided and concluded that the statement like "asians all look the same" does not insult Asians! You white can make joke whatever you want, write something racial joke towards Black in the public and enjoy their reaction. Or go use your family as a source of "Joke" to entertain people around. Mum or sister etc who cares. Asians said they take Rodrigo's joke as racism, don't pulling out your white narrative here and accuse Asians being sensitive. I'm quite surprised that people like you reckon whatever comes out of your mouth can be joke, even though not everyone has the same exact standards regarding what is or is not offensive.

@@jasse803 a hypothetical: Ange does an interview and is asked about either Eze and Olise. He then replies they all look the same mate I don’t care. See a problem? It might be a joke as a teammate to teammate perspective, but he said it live on air using what is a common rac3lal “joke” to imply that all Asians look the same. Why make it on a broadcast? We know exactly what that joke implies. Don’t play dumb, it’s like seeing nothing wrong to the slant eye gesture or a mnkey chant. I am sure Son has had these raclial abuses when he was a youth in Germany. So to reach this far into the so called “no room for racism” and make a joke implying the asians as a race has no distinct features that separates let’s say Japan and Korea implies that there is a double standard for you that blk rcism bad and that any rcial jokes on asians are ok as long as they are not “ill intended”. Nonsense. Imagine an Asian kid in the Tottenham youth camp who is bombarded with the same kind of epithets from his teammates? Should he toughen up and ignore it? Or say, the kids saying this stuff holds no value in society discourse. Get real. This isn’t woke gone wrong.

What makes you any different after that comment??

@@stuartmoore477 because they are backward that's what. Sonny's kind are very forward.

@@angelotyro2867 🙄

Thats not for u to decide tho, is it

People like you who are stupid and have stupid parents then I cant really blame you. But poor or uneducated doesn’t mean he is stupid to know what cant be said! Btw I am Korean and I care! I dare you to say racist comments in front of me instead of being a keyboard warrior!

Yes lets call people offended by the comment "snowflakes" when its people like you that are never subjected to these kinds of dehumanizing comments , rather use these sorts of language yourself to point fun at a certain ethnicity because they all look the same. This isnt "wokeism" gone wrong. This is inappropriate, just as bad as doing a slant eye or mnkey chants. If they are going to crack down hard on blck rcism, turning a blind eye to this implies double standard. You should know better because whte rcism is not only ignored but generally accepted as a joke.

The way these 2 clam up when talking about this incident shows how brainwashed British media are about racism. The self righteousness is cringe worthy.

I can say the same if someone calls a black person a monkey!

Do you consider asians as a thing? Aren't they human beings? How could they all look the same? It sounds like you don't respect their genetic diversity, what do you think they are? they are not the products made from the same factory tho. Do your neighbours and you all look the same? If not, why?
