Singling someone out due to their skin colour = racism.

I genuinely can't wrap my head around how in this day and age, this needs explaining.

Singling them out... Or describing them?

The police may ask "was it a black male?" in an investigation I guess they are all racist.

Exactly that.

And people fell straight into the trap.

This proving my point.

No, it was a ridiculous question and remains so. Your attempts at adding context makes it more so.

So police ask such blatant leading questions do they?

The referee wanted to know who to send off, so he asked the fourth official. It was used as an identifying feature. The use of "black guy" is not in itself racist. This is getting ridiculous. I'm sure it wasn't said with an intention to provoke for goodness sake.

Jesus wept... You're being an idiot on purpose.

It was clearly an example and I did not wish to write an essay.

Absolutely but the people of the board are soon to be judge and jury without context.

You post an inflammatory question without context to "trap" people then add false examples to prove your apparent point that using someone's skin colour as a single identifying feature amongst many other possible none discriminatory features at football game isn’t racist?

Then call someone an idiot for questioning your missing logic, especially on the grounds that you didn't want to write an essay to explain your reasoning for the above. I can do it in 3 words.

It. Is. Racist.

Intent or not, the effect is the same.

The use of the words "black" and "man" in the correct context is not, I repeat not, racist.

Enjoy the rest of your evening.
 
The refs assistant is stupid to use that language in these times when he could just point at him and say that guy and as much as the assistant manager has every right to pull his players and be angry I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that this doesn't automatically make the refs assistant a racist.

He definitely needs to apologize, receive a reprimand and be trained on how to speak to his fellow human beings.
