Comments Thread For: Josh Taylor Apologizes After Racial Abuse Guilty Plea

[Marvlus Marv]

What race is "orange looking"? I was expecting something else. A lot worse.

[Marvlus Marv]

Racism (from any race) is just as bad as PEDs. Taylor needs to do more than apologise.

What did he say that was racist? Is calling Trump "orange" racist? I read that every day. Taylor was drunk (probably) and very rude and abusive, but racist?

He was not being racist, he was being sectarian. As an explanation Scotland like Ireland has a big sectarian issue between catholics and protestants, and protestants are called orangemen as they have an order called the orange order. It's more a case of sectarianism/hate speech than racism and I guarantee there was much more colourful insults being flung about before and after around there by people who aren't a pro boxer so get no attention for it.

Thanks for the information.

Racism typically means a white person hurt someone's feelings. This is beyond pathetic.

Some people were sayin he was not Scottish enough but look at him now, a drunk racist.

Frankie Boyle called, he’d like his joke back. 😂

No calling Trump orange is not racist. Racism is when you discriminate against someone based on their race. Trump isn't from the orange race as far as I know

Eh. How you know?

Okay, cool. But was Taylor racist or just seriously rude and out of order?
