Can someone explain this please:

"Arsenal Fan TV has taken one of its pundits off the channel - after he made a racist comment about Tottenham striker Son Heung-min.

Claude Callegari called the Spurs player ā€œDVDā€ towards the end of the Premier League defeat to their rivals on Sunday."

    Hursty itā€™s a racist reference to Chinese people selling DVDs in pubs and markets. Son gets targeted with it by a few scum bags.

    Fuck that clown from AFTV.

      Sounds like Claude would fit in perfectly here.

      Kells77 Thatā€™s what I was trying to work out? It just seems a little stretched for racism for me, but I must be missing all of the picture as it canā€™t just be because Chinese people sell DVDs on markets in London can it?

          Hursty Yeah that seems quite the stretch to insult someone.

            Anyone buying a DVD, in a market, in London, in July 2020, mid coronavirus, not what the nationality of the vendor, needs their head examined.

              SM001 saw her dj once, she was pretty decent but I must confess that it felt rather unsettling dancing to DJ that in my inebriated state resembled a young Peter Snakebite Wright. Must have been the shit I was on

                SM001

                Her moniker always seemed destined for trouble given modern identity politics. Surprised it lasted as long as it did. I was always ehhhhhhh on it; like youā€™re just asking for a hit in the trousers.

                But I think intention matters. People have done things that might seem insensitive; but if they werenā€™t meant to be so, Iā€™m not gonna break out the pitchforks.

                And I think sheā€™s an excellent DJ.

                  Remember the vid where I was TOPS OFF on a boat in Croatia?

                  The Blessed Madonna was Djā€™ing in said vid.

                  Scones!

                  Is she bless-ed or blest?

                  I was shocked to find out he was white. In 2000. Wasnā€™t very ā€œwokeā€ back then either.
