    It's not the press that are saying it, it's in the police statement

    Germanic is an ethnic group.

    It's confusing for sure, but if Barton smacked Stendel in the nose whilst shouting ' you German ****** '. That's racially aggravated right there, no matter what colour skin they are .

    Not sure, unfortunately we are not in possession of all the facts. But for he/she to be arrested on that specific charge tells me they have gathered significant evidence to be able to do so.

    Punch someone in the face while calling them out for being a foreigner is quite racist if you ask me.

    Not sure how it can be, if German is not considered a race. We’ll find out soon enough, hopefully

    It's about as clear as mud right now so I guess all we can do is wait for the facts to come out. I still think it's Barton though.

    Another update

    UPDATE: Man bailed as investigation into Barnsley Football Club incident continues

    A man arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated public order offence and racially aggravated assault, in connection to an incident at Barnsley Football Club on Saturday 13 April, has been bailed until next month.

    We would ask members of the media and the public to refrain from speculation in relation to this incident, as it could potentially harm the investigation.

    Officers investigating the incident would be keen to speak to anyone who may have caught the incident on camera or who may have mobile phone footage immediately before or after the incident occurred.

    If you think you can help, please call 101 quoting incident number 326 of 13 April 2019.

    Yes.

    "On 28 February 2007, the House of Lords ruled[7] that use of the expletive "bloody foreigner" amounted to racial abuse under the Act, and held that the legal definition of "racial group" went beyond colour, race or ethnic origin to include nationality, citizenship and national origin".

    Yes I would say it was, but I would argue that was a derogatory term directly linked to the person’s race. A white person calling another white person a ‘German c.nut’ isn’t. I don’t think. Grey area innit.

    Racism isn’t just based on colour it is also Nationality, and ethnic descent.
