I'm not suggesting somebody who is black cannot be racist towards someone who is not. I'm suggesting there must be more to it, surely. If it is just the n word in isolation, coming from a black person, then it just doesn't make any sense. It is my understanding that it is ok for black people to use that word. Your explanation about Qataris doesn't really apply to such a situation. Furthermore, the player in question is himself a minority within a Qatari context, so I'm not sure why you're being so quick in ascribing such bad motives and intentions to him purely because he plays football for Qatar.

And it isn't the hue of skin colours I am talking about. The Qatari is of Somalian heritage is he not? So he is African, he is black. Boxall to my knowledge has no such African ancestry.

Surely it cannot be the n word. Is it really reasonable for a team to stop playing a game because a black opponent called a player the n word, when that player is not black and there are no black players in his team? Surely not.

Mate, you need to do some reading and learn more about racial and cultural identity.

You clearly don't have an understanding of Qatari culture and how they view others, like Syrians for example who they consider to be dirty Arabs, or even worse Egyptian. The fact he is darker than Boxall has nothing to do with how he views him. The prejudice that exists there, if he did say the word comes from a sense of superiority (look at how they treat their workers). The use of the word would have reflected this and his frustration that someone beneath him would dare challenge him.

Also, to assume one must be black or atleast be blacker than the person saying the comment is moronic and doesn't account for any genetic divergence.

Your ignorance is disheartening as a football fan and as a kiwi.
