Chanting about Wilfried Zaha having Ebolba and/or AIDS is both incredibly racist and and/or futile. He can’t hear you from the top of the stands; those who can hear you, however, include nearby Albion supporters of African descent.

Public service announcement concluded. Have a word with yourself.

This isn't racism (for me).

A Brighton fan shouts abuse at an opposition player.

If he was welsh & got bah or sheep shagger or French about garlic or onions or ginger etc etc. That isn't racist - but because zaha is black you feel it must be because he is black

You have AIDS or Ebola.

Because you are black.

Isn’t racist?

Just for clarification - is it your opinion that it isn’t racist to imply someone has aids or ebola because of their African heritage?

No it isn't.

Stevie Coppell has VD. You telling me that's racist ?

Stevie Coppell has VD because he did some terrible things with a horrible, infectious organism.

Your assumption is that a person from Africa automatically has Ebola or AIDs.

Do you see the slight difference?

I fear you may be confusing Nationality with Race.

You are being offended on behalf of others. No mention of skin colour being used but you have come to the conclusion he was being racist. FFS well done.

Do only people from that heritage get these diseases? or can anyone from any race, religion, etc, and originating from any part of the world also able to catch these, if exposed?

So if someone keeps using the ‘n’ word, I should just keep to myself and think ‘oh well, not my issue’.

And your second point, is anyone using Ebola and AIDs to insult a white player?

You never mentioned the word ****** being being used. Are you going to keep coming out with more lies from your original post ?

Don’t be so ****ing stupid. No one is chanting this to white players.

Actually I had a mate as an away fan thrown out of Withdean for singing Casper Ankergren has aids. He’s now a policeman...
