*bump and update*So this whole "jew goal" thing died down at work as less people were playing FIFA on their lunch breaks, and it seemed to be a thing of the past, but on my lunch today there were a couple of guys playing and one of them scored a "sweaty/jew" goal and the other player started mouthing off quite enthusiastically that he was a "strawberry floating jew" and "that was so jewish you jew banana split". The guy doing the name-calling is an Albanian (via Wigan, so quite the accent
), nice guy and I get on with him but is there maybe a cultural thing I'm missing? Are Albanians notoriously anti-semitic? The guy being abused completely laughed it off and carried on playing as normal, like being called a jew banana split was a completely normal and acceptable thing to be called at work. Both guys are about 25/26 so it's not like they're a couple of teenagers dicking about. It was mental.
I had my headphones on listening to the Parapod and I could hear this guy mouthing off in a canteen with about 5 or 6 other people sat eating their lunch or looking at their phones. No-one batted an eyelid. Do people just not care? It was really quite shocking, but as with before I didn't say anything, didn't want to call out a colleague and potentially cause aggro or make a scene, but now I'm really considering reporting the guy.
Thought I'd share this with you all as I was lost for words and have to get it off my chest (again).
