2018/19 Yerry Mina

[Mozza1987]

As per my previous post, the stereotype about black men's girth was initiated by racist groups such as the KKK to portray black men as analogous to animals out to defile white society (and white women). I'm not sure stereotypes about British teeth have the same undertones, but I'm happy to be corrected.

Not all Scousers need feeding at Christmas or need to sign on but we get sung that by other fans and that is fine. It's a crap song but racist is absolutely ridiculous.

Yes.

The daily mail readers of the Everton fan base in shambles. Such a boring uninventive piece of football banter. Just goes to show most the fellas who come up with songs usually have the mental age of a toddler. Can be some funny ones but yer, my 4 year old nephew has me in stitches sometimes too

*shrug* I sense you are not up for convincing, but maybe just accept that this stereotype was used by people to massively discriminate against certain people for an awfully long time, and that whilst we've hopefully moved on from those times, it's perhaps also time that our language and stereotypes move on too.

The absolute state of the world these days. I look forward to us not being able to refer to footballers as “he/she” anymore just in case they identify as a tumble dryer or something.

Maybe he's got a really tiny cock and years of being called "teeny weiner Yerry Mina" have caused this song to cause him great upset.

That examination would be undertaken by a spin doctor.

‘I will not have the size of his schlong bandied around, willy nilly’

 

[evertonarntwe]

it's all about intent, if the song is about an opposition player intended to mock I can see why the PC parade get all edgy

it's just humour and it's not even slightly insulting, not saying it's a good song but fcking hell wont be able to calling players ginger soon before they start banning that word

 

[ClausThomsen]

But I can turn that around and say if Mina isnt personally offended then who's business is it to be offended for him if its simply light hearted banter and not inciting hatred?...

One part of the song is sang because of his skin colour and not through knowledge of his anatomy. The other part of the song is sang because he's Colombian and not because those singing know that Mina and Ospina like to do cocaine.

Therefore it's stating that all black men are X and all Colombians are Y. Mina might not be arsed about it but it is based on racial stereotypes that are blindly applied to all black men and is ultimately racist.

And you surely can't only see racism through the prism of inciting hatred?

The fact that you've totally missed the point suggests you should be one of those educated on the matter. It's more about learning why this MIGHT be offensive to others, rather than myth busting stereotypes.

I’d probably put myself into this category. Can you educate me as to why a song that suggests a specific person has a large penis MIGHT BE offensive?

Nooooooooooo. Please don’t pretend that rangas are equivalent to humans

The stereotype of black guys as being very muscular with big wangs has a long history of use by the likes of the KKK. I'm not offended by the song, but it is crass nonetheless.

Nobody knows about that Bruce.

We all get our stereotypes from pornos.
