If it was an innocent, good-natured comment I may have let it slide, but it was nothing of the sort.
Facto made the exact same remarks before, to which I responded. Although the remark was clearly racist in nature, I did not report him at the time, so no action was taken. Today, he intentionally decided to make the same remarks again. Look up his posts if you feel like it.

Not making that same mistake twice.
Its called banter but i dont spose they have that from where you are from. Mind you there are a few American posters on this site and they are alright so i suppose its just you then.

Casual racism seems to be par for the course where this board is concerned. I'm not a fan either but if you're waiting for anything to be done about it you'll probably be waiting a while, sadly.

It may feel like banter to you because you share his sentiments, and the truth is that you really do not actually care one bit that this "banter" is racist in nature.
@ Felt, I don't expect the people on this forum to change much internally, but I do have faith in the moderators of this forum and believe that they are able and willing to discipline members who make racist comments, especially when the infraction it is repeated by the same member. I may not be able to change how Facto feels about Asians, but maybe I and others will not see an explicitly post from him, at least, in the near future. That is reason enough for me.

Well said Joon. I am a 6'1 white Englishman and **** at football so i think that proves race and height have little to do with it :-) "Casual racism" seems to be the theme these days from a lot of cyber idiots! Its not like that down at Loftus Road though mate, for the most part we've got a good crowd! Park was never going to be a QPR player as he isnt what we needed.. But i dont think anyone can say he or any Asian player cant play in England when this guy has been playing for the best team in the country for the past 7 or 8 years! I would have thought any proper Rangers fan would realise skin colour has absolutely nothing to do with quality.. Cisse = black, Bosingwa, Bothroyd & Anton Ferdinand = Mixed race, Joey Barton & Rob Green - white, Park = asian and all of them have one thing in common.. They have all been f*cking useless when putting on a blue and white shirt ;-)

Thanks for expressing what I'm sure most silent members of the forum are feeling, including myself.
