Wrong. Utterly wrong. Gus has seriously gone down in my estimation today.
Leaving aside the use of the phrase "people of colour", which is damning enough, he seems to be suggesting that as Uruguayans treat blacks differently (to how Britons do) we should accept that Suarez might say something we disagree with. Eh?! Cultural difference is being cited as a reason for accepting (alleged) racism? What a load of tosh.
I'm hugely embarrassed as a Brighton fan, it does nothing for our image, and it undermines our complaints about homophobic chanting. "We treat gays differently where I come from, so you will just have to accept my abusive language towards them."
