imagine being so butthurt that you save a whole list of me paraphrasing racist trumptards to mock them, in order to misrepresent that as serious statements, just to have something to deflect from conversations about genuine issues. garbage person...

shocking racism and bigotry

very good post my friend!

absolutely disgusting how bad racism is amongst many english football fans. massive abuse against the players who missed their penalties:

shocking behaviour. has it always been that bad, and is it just social media that makes it more visible to the public? has the thinly veiled xenophobic rhetoric around brexit worsened and emboldened the bigot scum, or what might be the reason for this being such a huge issue, from booing your own team for kneeling to racially abusing players for missed penalties?

just to inb4 the butthurt reactions, personal attacks, and whataboutisms of our english crowd: i'm not saying every single englishman who loves football is a racist, of course not. that said, it obviously isn't just a few bad apples either, but a systemic issue that at least seems to have gotten worse recently, and i'm curious what you think the cause is.

even the germans make fun of fender now, poor guy

Ouch smh. Poor Heinrich.

just right wingers desperately trying to deflect from an uncomfortable issue by spreading fake news, don't worry about it...

I understand getting banned from social media or even possibly losing your job for posting racist shit online by I just read a Reuters article where it talked about the police are investigating and looking to act?

Wtf does that mean? UK bros, do you guys have laws that allow the police to take action on such things? That sounds scary considering how gray and subjective some of these accusations may be.

If you tell someone you're going to go round their house and kill their entire family, that is punishable by law in the UK

If it has racist undertones then it's the same as above but can also be classed as a hate crime

btw, out of millions of people there will always be a few messaging you on instagram making fun of you for whatever reason, IMO it's not newsworthy. Report the racists to the police and move on

Yes we do, and have for some time now. The vast majority of hate crime cases are settled by the defendant admitting to the crime. Police are less likely to get involved in a hate crime that falls into "gray and subjective" areas. Most hate crime convictions come with another conviction, so say one of Heinrich's buddies slaps a jew and calls him a yid while doing it, he'd get charged with assault for the slap, and potentially have his sentence increased because of it being religiously motivated. Most punishments for hate crimes on their own are pretty weak, and more designed around scaring idiots into not being idiots. It sounds scary on the face of it, but considering most of these morons are caught on camera being racists, or like the current ones attacking England players are stupid enough to type all their racist nonsense in tweets and the like, the vast majority of cases are so clear cut it's ridiculous.

The term 'hate crime' can be used to describe a range of criminal behaviour where the perpetrator is motivated by hostility or demonstrates hostility towards the victim's disability, race, religion, sexual orientation or transgender identity.

These aspects of a person's identity are known as 'protected characteristics'. A hate crime can include verbal abuse, intimidation, threats, harassment, assault and bullying, as well as damage to property.

TL:DR racist cunts deserve to be punished, no fucking need for it whatsoever.
