You are a paki man. You eat roti and daal all the time.

Actually here in Norway the sterotype or one of them is that we eat a lot of onion which actually is kind of true since almostt all our dishes contains onion

migeru is spot on, you're not. Deal with it

None of the black people I know are insulted by the fried chicken. It has very little prejudicial or racist intent and is purely a stereotype thing, and not even an insulting stereotype. To equate it with throwing a banana which is actually a racist insult, is to belittle the importance and significance of the latter.

Almost every single race has a stereotype associated with them, some more insulting than others, some not insulting at all. Friend chicken is a very benign stereotype.

Though as a black person yourself, I'm not really in position to tell you what should or should not offend you, I'm merely speaking from my own experience.

We can only speak for ourselves at the end of the day, so neither of us can speak for all peoples of a specific group. From my pov if someone threw friend chicken at me/another black person I wouldn't see a difference but its my opinion alone. And I wasn't calling anyone racist btw if anyone thought that. I saw the original posters country as germany so I really wanted to know if it was something I should be annoyed about or merely cultural differences.

Stereotypes are mostly true, they just lack sensibility because you are lumping everyone into one category and not allowing for individuality.

As a Cuban, my people are stereotyped as being very loud and boisterous. I can tell you that is very much the case, even though I am a rather quiet and reserved person myself.

Fair enough

I'm jealous of you guys.

Eating onion and being loud is nothing against being a Nazi.

MUahahahahahaah.

Though I don't see Germans that way. If anything, Germans are stereotyped as being efficient and durable, like their cars. Maybe a bit cold as people, on account of their efficiency.

The funny part is that Germany is actually the most tolerant place in Europe along with the UK. Not enough foreign eating places though (Munich is full of sausages).

What the point Usegor, are you posting gifs of all Messi's shot not converted? What is that supposed to prove really?

Messi never missed shots before?

Messi used to be much more clinical in those situations. Now hes hesitating, taking to long time to release shots. His accuracy is also way down.

Some of those gifs show poor misses, but some are saves and/or unlucky bounces.

The original point was that Messi is having to do more around the field and that is affecting his sharpness infront of goal. That he is not as sharp infront of goal as he used to be is a valid argument.

 

[SeloBarca]

That Messi have to move back more to help midfield is true, but that it would affect his finishing so much i think is as valid as "hes saving himself for xxxx"

 

[DonAK]

Not help the midfield. Messi is the midfield.

Not really. He's doing more, having to make more decisions. He's not there to primarily finish anymore. He's farther from the goal, with a different role. This is obviously affecting his finishing as well. I think his finishing would improve if he was back to playing a bit closer to goal, like he did vs Ajax.
