I love the fact that the FA called on a Latin American Studies academic to help 'resolve' the issue. Apparently he said that 'negrito' wasn't deemed offensive in Latin American countries but might be somewhere else. Ka-ching! Thanks for that, mate, incredibly good specialist info. Now back you go to co-writing eight page articles with three other wastes of space.
No he didn't because the word negrito wasn't at issue in the Suarez hearing.
How is that people continue to spout this absolute tripe about what happened in the Suarez hearing when they've never bothered to read it ?
If only the report was publicly available we could simply copy and paste what actually was said ....
"The FA instructed the experts to prepare a written report on the various linguistic and
cultural interpretations of the word "negro" or "negros" in Latin American Spanish and
especially Spanish as spoken in the River Plate region (castellano rioplatense)."
And :
"To recap, Mr Suarez's case was that he had used the word "negro" once only when Mr
Evra said "Don't touch me, South American" and Mr Suarez replied "Por que, negro?",
meaning "Why black?". Mr Suarez said that this exchange took place when the referee
blew his whistle to stop the corner being taken, and that the touching to which Mr Evra
was referring was Mr Suarez's foul on him five minutes previously. Mr Suarez further said
that his use of the word “negro” was conciliatory and friendly and was commonly used in
this way in Uruguay. "
As I've been saying for years Negrito was a red herring thrown into the media by our Lizard owners and it has caught on amongst the majority who, as we've seen in the US election thread , have an inability to decipher the truth and understand when the media is being used to manipulate them.
