Macca19 - need help with this one

"Apparently it started with Riccuito making a racist comment towards one of the Aboriginal Port players at the pub (anyone here like C-C's?)"


The above, as I'm sure you'll realise, is an extract from your post on the main board re: pub brawl.
I am not trying to be funny, or smart or negative, but can you please explain to me why this comment is racist? I was going to qestion it when I first read it, but didn't get around to it, and I thought it would be too late now to reply to it on the original posting site.

I am certainly against racism, and when it is explained I may well be as disgusted as you, but at the moment I cannot pick out racial overtones in that sentence. I read it as a take on the player's name, but don't understand what it has to do with his race.

Thanks, if you do take the trouble to reply.

I don't think Macca was quoting the Adelaide Football Club captain - he was hinting that the Aboriginal player who was the target of the racial slur was Che Cockatoo-Collins.

There are better things to post about.

Guessing game.

To roll;
To pass around;
To sing in full jovial voice.
A dwarfish being in Scandinavian mythology.
There are other definitions.

Grave Danger answered the question for you. It wasnt what Riccuito said....it was a hint about who he said it to.

Sapaul: When are you gonna write something substantial about your own side?? All you ever post is one line snipes at people. Maybe you should look at yourself before you have a go at other people for being abusive - you are just as bad!
