Of course we are all the same, but that doesn't change what I said or how those words are used.

I'm sorry but I think it does, and for the reasons I have already mentioned.

The tweet was: "Looks like Ashley Cole's going to be their choc ice, then again he's always been a sell out. Shame on him."
Ferdinand responded with: "I hear you fella! Choc ice is classic! hahahahahahha!!"

Anyway you look at it, it was used in a condescending manner which was using race and ethnicity as a slur. What is wrong with a black man being 'white'?

Wasn't he a white man being black?
Might be confusing myself with Dappy Flopalopalus. Sorry.

I just think the whole thing should just go away, every week almost, we see about who said nought to who...and who said what to you..
And it's just like the whole tittle-tattle thing at school. If personal offense was recieved I'm sure Ashley Cole would have made a big stand about it. I've not seen anyone post up what he thinks.

The police should stop wasting time investigating people calling each other frozen dairy products and actually do something useful.

Nothing, other than it was used as an insult.
