As a follow-up have a nomadic tribe from Central Asia going on a celebratory open-topped bus trip through Govan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossDee01 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 The name comes from them playing on a sandy pitch from the 60s? That is a racial stereotype. And the fact that they aren't Arabs. Jeezo. The word racism is used far too loosely these days. Racism is is discriminating against someone because of the colour of their skin or their religion. In what way is calling people associated with Dundee United "arabs" at all offensive to anyone. It's not said in an offensive manner, United fans call themselves Arabs.If this is racist then I am absolutely appalled and upright offended that there is a place called Nova Scotia in Canada. How fucking dare they. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's offensive to the alphabet. f**k, Patrick Thistle better drop the "Thistle" before the flowers get offended. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
