@ Sarmatian: I understand what you are trying to say when you state that since the African slave trade never resulted in the Balkans there are less underlying issues.

That said the monkey noises audible in the videos I have seen of the incident do, like it or not, have connotations - that black people are similar, or at least, more similar than white people, to monkeys. That classifies black people as below white people, as sub-human if you will, and that is the issue at stake.

Moreover the violence associated with the end of the game was inexcusable, to my eyes, the England players and coaches, with the exception of Rose, were actively trying to avoid confrontation... Do you have a take on that? Or is it too OT?
