Many people may think that this ship has sailed, but I have felt strongly about this for a long time now, and the straw on the camel’s back came after the Luis Suarez biting incident, when a friend of mine posted:
“What a horrible person Suarez is - and on top of that he’s racist”
In this post I would like to briefly present the argument that Luis Suarez is not racist. Or at least, that we have no evidence to suggest he is. I will try and justify my argument from a cultural linguistic perspective. But first, let me present a little bit about myself, so you can judge the extent to which what I say might be worth taking into consideration.
