I had no clue DVD was a racist term for Asians ... I thought he was honestly referring to what we do with Evertonians when they beat us "Oh they'll release a DVD"
I thought this to, seeing as he scored one goal and set up the other.
How can you be offended by DVD? Maybe its something that we dont know?
Must be tiresome working as the Twitter police trying to find everyone who isnt 100 % political correct.

Back before torrents, a bunch of del boy types used to sell pirate dvd's on street corners, and most of them were Chinese. So calling Son a dvd insultingly paints him as a dvd seller by making reference to his race, notwithstanding that he's Korean. That's a breach of FA Rule E3. It's an insult, it makes reference to race, you're done.
I would love it for Claude to apologise publicly to Son, explain that he was only busting his balls, how sorry he is, etc. And then
It is a derogatory reference based on race, not arguing it really. He knew what he was saying, why he was saying and he is a complete idiot for doing it on a live stream that opposition fans will scour to find anything against you!
Any narrative about it being a generational thing... how long do you think DVDs have been around for?!
There used to be a large Jamaican woman called (I think) Maria who sat near to the dugouts at Highbury and emitted ear-bleeding screams whenever she thought the team was either going to score or concede. I don't know if she's still there and audible at the Emirates, as I've avoided the place like the plague. Anyway, my theory is she gave birth to several improbably fat-arsed, over-gutted boys who grew up tired of being called 'Alan' or 'Brian' and renamed themselves things like Stormz and Bozo or whatever it is and started the Arsenal YouTube channel. They've carried on their mum's vocation of irritating the feck out of everyone else.

He's refereeing to structural racism or white privilege. I don't think it's racist. It's just dumb.
What he said is in the same league as "Chinese people are good at maths" imo.
Referring to East-asian people as DVDs has a more negative ring to it.

What he said was clearly in breach FA Rule E3. He insulted Kane and referred to his race. That makes it racist and I would kill them both before I ever let anyone change their mind about how that rule or racism is interpreted.
