I hear what you're saying Sam.
But tell that to the black players who receive huge amounts of abuse.
I am not saying taking the knee if helping with that, but Ian Wright has spoken eloquently about the abuse he, his sons and other black players receive. Volumes of abuse that goes beyond a few racist nutters online..
And 99% of this abuse started because of this wokeness. One extremist behaviour encourages extremist behaviour in the other direction. Black players wasn’t getting the abuse until this knee shit. It isn’t right the abuse but the real cause of it is the knee.

1) It is now more widely reported

3) Right wing rhetoric (Trump/Johnson) have enabled racists to be more vocal (there is a direct correlation between Johnsons 'letterbox' comment and people going up and abusing Muslim - Islamophobic incidents rose by 375 per cent in the week after Boris Johnson compared veiled Muslim women to “letterboxes” research has shown).
The good thing about this thread is that no one is defending racist abuse - just how we deal with it, so at least we are all mainly on the same page!

Much of the so called increase in “hate crime” was down to a change in how they’re recorded. No need for witnesses or anything else to corroborate, people were saying Nigel Farrage said something racist on TV and that was included in the figures. Personally I think the burka or it’s Jewish equivalent is a ridiculous way to dress and poking fun at it is perfectly acceptable. If ripping the piss out of a bloke for wearing a kilt is ok same rules must apply.

Much of it is now caught on CCTV and on mobile phones.
There is a difference between me and you taking the piss out of someone in a quiet corner of a pub in friendly jest, than a young man screaming racist abuse in the face of a Muslim lady in a burka.
