Mate, that is unfair too. I consider myself a very educated, well read and travelled person and I didn’t know of what you wrote about Qatari culture and I appreciate you enlightening me. And that was all your response needed to be, not an attack on how ignorant someone is for not knowing something you do. Now you have made that statement, from a personal interest point of view I’d love to know your source or is it just personal knowledge through your own experience?MetalLegNZ

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.
congratulations for being you.
the ignorance comes from the lack of realisation that racism can exist in multiple directions and dimensions. something that also seems to have escaped your life of textbooks and tourism.
it's interesting that someone so educated needs some basic human concepts explained to him in a football forum.
