He deserves some kind of punishment, whatever that may be, education etc. Everyone does stupid stuff when they are young, but you know its wrong to shout racist abuse when youre 15. If you get away with nothing then your just going to come away thinking it was OK to do it.
Slightly off topic, i hear casual racism around the town more regularly than id like to. Obviously not as aggressive in nature as on Sunday, but it is about, especially aimed towards Muslims.
As sad as this is don't go thinking it is exclusive to Carlisle or a small place mentality. In fact it is ten times worse in places when cultures mix uncomfortably near where I am in Lancashire. What goes unsaid is even worse.
This little idiot's prejudice is based on ignorance and lack of experience. The areas I work in, the folk are not much different but they have what they perceive the threat on their doorstep.
The other non white communities have the same prejudices about other cultures too. Multicultural our society is not.
It is only by meeting , socialising and enjoying the company of others can you accept differences and enjoy their qualities rather than condemn them.
Every community brings problems.
The media love a good shit storm and we all like a good moan but the simple fact is, you can make good friends from any community that will last a lifetime if you are openminded. Unfortunately this little scrote is missing out on friends he will never know about. More fool him.
When kone scored I cursed him, Everton, Carlisle and the weather. I'd like to think I was mature enough to not resort to racism to vent my anger.
