I now realise that this is unlikely.
Global BLM/Anti-racism chat...
Any Rugby fans out there?

Lol!

mono-stereo lol. Its only racist if you suck your teeth at line calls.
Smallman1 And that…
Hilarious, a whole stadium of white toffs singing a slave song to fire up the team during difficult moments in a match. If any of the black players were aware of it then it just goes to show what they’ve been living through. Strange times.

Proper grafters
The Man From Del Monte is the look I go for sartorially when at weddings abroad.
The Dolmio family are next in the line of fire due to racist connotations to the Italian community.
Smallman1 Certainly a good look to aim for. In reality I suspect you end up looking more like Dickie Bird.
