Great response from Como, i'm surprised they didn't ask Fabregas to read it doing an asian accent.
Fair play to Podence though, instant response. Red card was worth it.

The good old chewbacca defence.
What’s an “Asian accent”?
Could be anything tbh. Turkish? Russian? Indian?
(Yes, I am well aware that “Asia” in the English-speaking world mostly consists of China/Korea/Japan.)
Not sure. I would be inclined to punch someone, if he calls my Korean friend/teammate "Jacky Chan".
In England, Asian usually refers to Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi people. It's in America I believe that Asian typically refers to Far East Asians (Chinese/Korean/Japanese etc).
Funnily enough that part of the world would not be classified as SEA in Germany.
I mean, if it was Dong Fangzhuo and the opponents called him Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee, I'd say it's pretty racist
but if his surname is Chan, his teammates call him "Channy" and the opponent calls him Jackie Chan, I'm not sure if it's a racial abuse worth such a fuss and making puns on someone's name can be classless, but hardly a crime.

neither in Italy .)Funnily enough that part of the world would not be classified as SEA in Germany.
SEA is east of India and south of China as far as I'm concerned
It isn't in English either, pretty sure South East Asia is Thailand, Indonesia etc. The Indian subcontinent is South Asia.Funnily enough that part of the world would not be classified as SEA in Germany.
The only reason I'd give him benefit of the doubt is because the guys name happens to be Chan.

I mistyped. I just meant south Asians. My bad. But yeah Asians in England typically refers to people from India/Pakistan/Bangladesh.
