Twitter in meltdown again over racism, only this time I actually agree.

Football match in Paris descends into chaos after 14 minutes, as the 4th official asks the ref to send off the Istanbul assistant manager for shouting his mouth off. When the ref asks which person to book, the official says "the black guy", in Romanian, and Romanian for "black" is "negru". So you can imagine the shit hitting the fan.

Obviously, the word "negru" is not racist, but identifying someone by colour when there are better ways to do so, for example name or number, is racist. This isn't the police looking for a black guy, this isn't a vague description, this is someone who has a jacket with his initials on, or a number on, who can be approached, this is someone who can be identified by going up to him and saying "this guy".

It doesn't help that the assistant wasn't the only black guy on the Istanbul bench.

So yeah, this guy is getting fired, and probably a barrage of death threats from people taking the moral high ground.
