Not as loaded said the defence, but ultimately the jury decided. Didn't another Chelsea player get off with far worse language a few years back?

Everybody knows only white people are racist.

The video appears to show her as stupid, black, racist and totally bladdered.

Grace Forbes, defending the footballer, told jurors on Monday: 'Nobody disputes the words that were said.

'But simple words, even words like these, do not make you guilty of a criminal offence.'

'The words were a comment, however poorly expressed, about positions of power, about privilege and how those things might colour perception.

'Sam Kerr did not feel hostile towards this officer, because he is white.

Having watched an extended video, that seems to be a very good summary. She didn't say the words with malice, but with weary resignation.

Indeed...

Of course the fundamentalist 'white ones' couldn't possibly understand the day to day hassles of a 'non white' person

“White and stupid”

Is a factual statement.

An alternative description is: “Reform voters”

You’re right, it must be hard work being a Chelsea striker…

Add in a bit of casual racism

Nope...

It's a statement of reality...

Unless of course you cling on to the belief that ethnic minorities don't suffer regular discrimination?

So is stupid, drunk, uncouth, racist, black, entitled lesbian but do you think a policeman could have got away with calling her that?

 

[Dereekoo]

Proud to be stupid and "white"!!!

You’re suggesting that someone can’t understand the daily hassles faced by a non-white person because of the colour of their skin.

Being stupid has nothing to do with skin colour.
