Debatable. Anyways....
I read this today and must admit to laughing.
Quote:
London - Everton star Ross Barkley received an apology from The Sun tabloid newspaper on Saturday over a column that made "unfavourable comparisons" to a gorilla.
The newspaper printed the apology and said it had not been aware that the England midfielder's grandfather was from Nigeria.
The column was headlined "Here's why they go ape at Ross" alongside pictures of Barkley and a gorilla.
"At the time of publication the paper was unaware of Ross Barkley's heritage and there was never any slur intended.
"As soon as his background was drawn to our attention, the article was removed from online.
Liverpool FC banned The Sun from its Anfield stadium and its training ground in February this year over the paper's coverage.
Many shops in the city also refuse to sell the newspaper.

"Its only bad because he has African Heritage."
No. No! It shouldnt be acceptable to compare people to Gorillas whether they have African Heritage or are as white as snow.
They werent being Racist because they admittedly had no idea about his heritage, they were just being ass holes.
