"Black Fella"

Post by dinozoff »

Now I'm not usually a big PC advocate but surely Bosnich could have just said "Tagoe" instead of "the black fella at the back"

surprised there hasn't been more of an uproar about it tbh

Yes I hate racism when it's not done well, unfortunate choice of words from Bozzs but was the guy offended? I doubt it, I was told off a few years ago for telling someone at a corner to mark the black guy, really?
