I'm not from a 1st world country (a country with no racial diversity too) and when I first heard about this I honestly thought that it was about the N word being used but then when it was clarified I didn't understand it until u/Gervinhoo mentioned the reason.

Let me be honest here, I didn't even think there was anything wrong with calling someone "that black guy" or "that Chinese guy" or when you make distinction between people I mean he's Chinese after all but that doesn't mean that I'm racist. I know there's a history of misusing the word and I guess certain societies consider a horrible thing.

I also very much appreciate the gesture by Basaksehir and at any moment of racism football should be stopped but I just feel sorry for the guy. He might be a peace of shit racist but he also might be an ignorant who doesn't understand the PC culture of the west and IMO this is not something he should be canceled for. I mean this guy's life is probably over, he's going to get fired and the amount of shit he'll get for this is insane. BTW I wouldn't say the same if it was an English or an American referee because they know the culture but I believe that if you go to Romania for example and do what he did they'd probably be okay with it.

What he did was wrong and ignorant but I know he's going to be punished more than he deserves.
