i had a mate who i used to call a sex offender. he wasnt of course, it was all tongue in cheek and there was no intent. my point is why cant a so called racist term not be used in the same context between two friends?
the word racism is its own worst enemy sometimes.
Luis Garcia, He drinks sangria
He came from Barca, to bring us Joy
He's five foot seven, he's football heaven
please don't take my Luis away.

the word racism is its own worst enemy sometimes. I think it can be as long as it's in private. There's a problem when it happens in a public place, a place of work or in front of other people, etc.

People have been calling for consistency from FA so there should be zero tolerance, ferdinand should get a short 2 or 3 match ban as there wasnt arguably a context like the suarez evra one.
The anti racists have a zero tolerance policy (zero sense of humour policy) The fact is, cole could have pressed charges, i am assuming the met acted on complaints this weekend by twitter users here.
Rio is lucky he is not taken to the cleaners to be made an example of by the powers that be, they will be under pressure to can him as many people will be saying suarez was targeted for punishment because he is a foreigner.
In the english context freedom of speech has been taken away from us. I dont see why Lord Ferdinand div that he is dictates to the british public what is racist and what isnt

YOu dont know?
I was brought up hearing the darker fella usually africain descent calling the mixed race guy (west indian or whatever) 'coconut'.
Choc Ice is the same thing. Its accusing them of not being true to their roots. Its like calling someone 'uncle tom', only it is arguably more 'insulting' than uncle tom cos there is a physical /racial reference being made.
I ve worked in environement where i was the only white (apart from one or two white managers) and you get some of this going on between the 'ethnics'. Of course its tongue in cheek but its dangerous and in the wrong context someone could be extremely offended by it.
Much as i would say in your using 'sex offender' you have to be really careful if it is overheard by the wrong person or you fall out with the person who you were using the term on. You could face legal 'problems'.
Thats my take on it anyway.
I think its potentially serious cos its suggesting in rios case that Ashley cole is inferior because he sided with a white man ( the fact that the white man was cleared (ok we all know JT is a lucky boy) makes rio look even more disgruntled. Rio has issues yuo can spot it a mile off
To answer the question.. if it was one!... its what blacks use on all other blacks , you could find one using it on a guy with darker skin but the idea is the same , playing the white man game or being an uncle tom!

agree Armi, except it's not always tongue in cheek, just like the recent examples in football.
