Another thing; the bit under the stand with the bar. How small was that?

Yeah they thought it would be a good idea to close down stairs and cram people in. Genius.

A DAD has apologised after his 10-year-old son "blacked up" to look like his footballing hero El Hadji Diouf.

 

 

The little boy, 10, even styled his hair into a white Mohican to copy the Leeds United forward and posted pictures on Twitter.

But he was accused of racism after wearing make-up in his bid to emulate the Senegalese striker.

So his father took to the social-networking site to defend the lad's actions.

If he hadnt blacked up he would've looked nowt like him

 

Diouf doesn't exactly look offended so not sure what the issue is

 

I'll bet you them that threw the racism accusations about weren't black either

Thought he had a skin disease or had been burnt at fist glance. Glad he's okay

 

I used to white up on Halloween as a kid, and on special occasions i wore white sheets too, so I know how he feels.

This crossed my mind when I first saw it.

 

Then i heard some woman on radio 4 complaining about it

 

She also said Ben Kingsley in Gandhi was equally racist

 

The kind boggles

I wonder what her views on that horrendously bad film where Lenny Henry "whited up" are.

 

Wasn't there another one too a few years back - "White Chicks" ?
