Amazing story. People playing the race card on a ten year old kid who was just having a laugh. One thing that doesn't make sense though:

Favourite player, El Hadji Diouf. Eh?

Someone posted a comment on the Daily Mail which I agree with entirely:

"Definition of racist = a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another.......... People should not use words that they do know the meaning of."

Very correct. Only one thing bugging me, why does a ten year old need Twitter?

The kid doesn't know what he's doing. But his parent's should tell him that the black and white minstrel's show was offensive.

Does anyone actually seriously find a kid dressing up as his hero (as strange a hero as that is) as offensive?

If a kid paints his face green to look like the hulk on haloween is he racist against hulks?

Clearly the kid wanted to be his idol, and his idol seems to have taken it as a compliment. I doubt the kid knows what racist is!
Jesus... the world has gone mad!
