Some Dutch people dress up in black face to imitate a famous black football player. Player says he isn't bothered by it. Reddit rejoices that blackface being racist is just an American thing.

sometimes, when I am unsure if some action or language is racially insensitive, I convene an advisory council of Dutch football fans.

Gotta love the old “blackface in Europe only has origins in racism but not so much anymore” reasoning. Real bulletproof logic there.

Liverpool had a black Belgian player named Divock Origi.

At some point the fans started calling him big cock Divock.

Then a fan at Liverpool's stadium brough a huge banner with him depicting Origi naked with a monstrously large penis. This quickly led to the aforementioned nickname being phased out.

These are the people we should be conferring with about what is racist and what is not.

Silly Americans and their [checks notes] calling out very obvious and damning racism.

If you have to ask if something is racist, maybe just...don't do it?

”Blackface being racist is just an American thing”

Europeans: (CW: racism obviously)

Yeah I'm sure those Dutch football fans in black face don't have any racist feelings/thoughts about the world whatsoever...

And this is why I have nothing but contempt for the Dutch and really all of the Nordics to the exact same degree as what I hold for TERF Island and White Amerika.
