How Does One So Young Get So Bigotted?

One Song Young? Isn't that the name of the latest teen idol in China, TTT? :-)

[hereIam]

Following the example his parents set probably ..

[Ken4155]

I would hazard a guess the 12 year old is merely copying his elders.

[Duncer]

Parents, peers?

Celtic Park is hardly the place of moderate opinions, especially the Green Brigade clowns, and before anyone writes to point it out, I know that Ibrox has a similar number of idiots.

You would have to experience it up close, Tora, it's frightening the bile that spews from both sides of 'the old firm'. Not everyone of course but a significant number.

[Bobbisox1]

It’s ingrained into them, the bigotry is as-bad as the troubles in NI in the 60s

[ToraToraTora]

I'm more used to Rugby doug, much more civilised.

[maggiebee]

Yes, I believe it is learned behaviour.

[ToraToraTora]

bobbi/doug surely that's against the opposition because they are the opposition not because of their skin colour??

[Bobbisox1]

I experienced it first hand 3Ts on a visit to the west of Glasgow about 24 years ago

As said, he'll have grown up with it.

[Theland]

Kids is kids.
Fstty, four eyes, carrot head, etc etc.
He is not bigoted, kids are cruel he will grow out of it.
Not a reflection on parents.

[Ken4155]

What often bewilders me, TTT, is when the home fans, say, racially abuse one of the away team's players because of their colour, yet have one or two players on their side who are of the same hue?
Reminds me of a match I attended during the 80s, Burnley v Halifax Town. Their centre forward was a black lad by the name of Wayne Allison and he wasn't having a very good game. There were a handful of Halifax supporters in and around where I was standing, and one of them shouted, "Wayne, lad, if you have to be a n****r, be a good 'un."

[Ken4155]

Theland; "He will grow out of it." On the other hand, he may grow very much into it.

[Mamyalynne]

If all children grew out of insulting behaviour, we wouldn't have adults who regularly insult others and that isn't the case - is it?

[Mozz71]

Generations of inbreeding?

[Theland]

Most kids are cruel, only some adults.

[MallyJ]

Most children are absolutely not cruel but those that are have learned it from the adults in their lives.....itis the adults who teach their children that it is ok to call names and make people cry etc...because that is what happens to them at home.

Theland - // Most kids are cruel ... //

Speak for your own!

My children are absolutely not cruel.
