Enough to warrant court action?
Yes, you're referring to their race, but it's not like calling him a the n word. It's like the difference between using little and midget. One of the terms is specifically used to degrade them, the other is......insult fluff (fat/skinny/tall/short/spotty/whiny/dumb/ginger). One is far, far worse/more racist than the other.
Not that I'd ever refer to black/brown/white etc in an insult...even if you take the morals out of it, it's more hassle than it's worth, far too risky and you lose claim to any high ground. And like you say, it's racist afterall.
We're probably getting too political for a football thread anyway.
