(lol) -and- NMY, if your right then i agree, its awful taste and ranieri should be punished, but do you really think he put that much thought into what he said? and asian people arent even really yellow. ps, wats up with the fur coat? all of the girls at my school wear those. 2 things:

Its pretty clear to me, he was referring to Chinese people being "yellow" skinned. think of it like this, "Seemed as if he was yellow-skinned, as it was always yellow cards with us"... i already said this on goal.com, im asian, but i get it, ranieris trying to be funny, not really trying to offend anyone, but its pretty poor taste and i hope ranieri regrets his choice of words. nah Weston, you’re the one thats got it all wrong.

He simply meant that it seemed like the ref was so out of it he seemed like he was speaking some other language. Maybe it's a little stereotypical but hardly racist. You’re just over-analyzing it.

He's most remembered for officiating the Italy vs South Korea match in the 2002 FIFA World Cup, a match which South Korea won in extra time. no no no BYRON MORENO is the referee sadly from the same country as me (ECUADOR) that made insane calls refereeing the some games in the 2002 WORLD CUP held in KOREA.

(Mourinho) We do know from the Mijalovic-Vieira incident that it's only racist if it's a minority. Had he made a slur against Portugese (or Zingari) no one would have blinked.
