[Asim_khan]

Makes Sarfraz look like the president of the NAACP in comparison. Shocking comments. Arsenal will end any relationship pronto

 

[Pakistanian]

It's funny she said wallah, I thought Indians were making fun of Pakistanis for copying Arabs.

What she said was disgusting and 100x worse than what Sarfaraz said, it's high time we purge racism and anti-blackness from South Asian culture(s).

No clue who the person is but from the name I guessed a non-Muslim. I was a bit confused too when I read "wallah". Perhaps she is trying to be "hip". Surely the usage has no relevance if the person saying it doesn't believe in Allah's existence?

That isn't even an apology,she's blaming people for "thinking" that it was racist and lol @ "never meant it". It's clearly uneducated going off her grammar.

Bollywood tries to copy Arab/middle eastern culture, so I'm not suprised that they're now using Arabic words in their speech.

 

[shah_1]

She bashed Hardik for being crass and denied she ever dated him(was a lie). Hardik must be having a laugh.

 

[JaDed]

Which part of Bollywood was copied from Arabs and Middle eastern? Plz be specific those movies and their box office collection.

 

[JaDed]

Disgusting,and yes worse than Sarfaraz ,but how many know her? I'm sure most of us googled to know her

 

[Pakistanian]

Belly dancing, a lot of arabic and persian words in bollywood music and movie titles, employing middle eastern dancers/actresses. There's nothing wrong with it but it just seems hypocritical when indians mock Pakistanis for having some middle eastern influence by way of religion.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Disgusting. Not only racist but clueless about football too. Arsenal need to sack her asap.

The Indians that mock Pakistanis probably don't approve of belly dancing as well , and lol.at belly dancing which doesn't define Bollywood at all ,also Arabic/persian words are part of Urdu a language founded in India, man you have such a narrow point of view!

 

[Chrish]

Asians in general don’t understand the meaning of multiculturalism. They grow up in homogeneous ethnic culture and don’t have the same sensibility or values as compared to Asians brought up/ living in west.

 

[IMMY69]

Disgusting. Not only racist but clueless about football too. Arsenal need to sack her asap.

As a lifelong Gooner I completely agree with you!!

 

[Hasan123]

Disgusting stuff. Should be sacked. That is not the way you talk about other humans!

Please sack her asap.

 

[RickyG]

Arsenal should sack her.

But playing the devil's advocate here, it's only considered racist because the person is black.

If she said this about a white man, would it be deemed racist? No.

Only she knows if there was any reference to his race in that comment but it was a stupid thing to do considering how sensitive this stuff is nowadays.

That being said, I do understand that making any references to a monkey when discussing a black person is an absolute faux-pas and most of the time it is due to racism.

Even dumber to post that on her story.

 

[JaDed]

Her behavior is massively Western, check out her interviews etc. She doesn't even have the excuse of Sarfaraz she grew up in Liberal surroundings, she knew she was being offensive.

 

[CricketCartoons]

South Asians didnt have blacks working in their plantations as slaves so they don't have the white guilt associated with blacks. the westernized south asians should know better and follow the collective western guild when it comes to blacks.

 

[Syed1]

Damn what she said makes Sarf look like an advocate for the anti-racial movements )




The aunty then proceeded to post the screenshots her self, and she has the gall to call someone else a Neanderthal. Irony just died a thousand deaths.

 

[kingusama92]

She topped Sarfraz, Hardik, and KL Rahul with one screenshot.

 

[Sir Alex]

Now that is dumb.

 

[Madplayer]

She is a person of colour herself and she said this even after knowing that brown people also face a lot of racism. An average looking woman who tries to look better wearing tons of make up calling others neanderthals. Shame on her.

 

[Itachi]

IT IS RACIST. whatever angle you take.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Pure idiocy.

First of all, the disgusting comments and then posting the chat online &#55357;&#56834;

 

[YousafTheBeast]

man most of the PPers can’t be that clueless?

You can clearly see that she’s not the one who was making the racist comments.

Her texts are in green, for all those who haven’t used WhatsApp

Laughing on those comments doesn't make one innocent.

It kinda does, she wasn’t racist but the guy was... end of story.

Oooooh I didnt notice it either. But She still laughed at it like an idiot. A lesser crime but crime nonetheless

 

[Swashbuckler]

She didn't make the racist comments, she laughed at them. But still disgusting and deserves condemnation.

 

[Itachi]

If someone is calling gorilla, not evolved, worse than Neanderthal, i wouldn't laugh. If i do laugh, it means I don't realize the gravity of this statement.

I am surprised people actually defending it.

Those who are getting offended are also racists if they think neanderthal is an insult for a particular race.

 

[Hitman]

Zero respect for this women from now on. I used to like her, not because of his work but because of her looks. Used to follow her in instagram.

What a miserable person.

If you used to respect her for her looks and not work, that is sexist. but that is OK.

Didn't figure it out till now.

 

[Hitman]

I said I used to like her, that's because of her looks. Much like I like a lot of female celebrities because of their looks. Make it for what it's worth.

Wow! That's real bad that stuff right there.

Oh ...somehow that didn't strike.

"Worse than Neanderthal" .

Neanderthal is not an insult.

Agreeing with racial abuse isn't any lesser crime. Look at the caption.

 

[JaDed]

Very true, but there is a difference in this case now.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

We do, and that is why we usually condemn this stuff far more quickly than the south asian based ones. I don't even know why these people are following a British football team if they think of the star players this way. Just stick to cricket and kabaddi, or whatever else is considered sport there, if you want to follow British teams then learn some British etiquette as regards to racism.

 

[troodon]

Who is she? Never heard of her.

 

[cricketjoshila]

Where did she make racist comments? All she posted was hahaha. Though she shouldnt have done that as well.

Maybe they learnt this behaviour from the british hooligan football fans themselves. The british football fans should set a better example.

 

[Varun]

Who even is Esha Gupta?

Did anybody know her before today? "Arsenal's Club Ambassador in India" is hardly a prestigious title.

 

[Pakistanian]

"Worse than Neanderthal" .

Neanderthal is not an insult.

You seem to be out of the loop. Racists believe Black people are less "evolved", by saying he's "less evolved" than a Neanderthal is extremely racist, shows that she and other Indians believe in scientific. This something white nationalists believe in.

Forget the racism angle for a second.

1) someone this dense should not be an ambassador for a corner shop let alone a premier league club

2) someone with grammar this shocking shouldnt be in professional employment of any sort let alone, as mentioned already, ambassador of a freaking premier league club.

3) This excuse is so pathetic, particularly after the first non apology, it beggars belief. Note also the attempt at portraying herself as the victim too in an effort to, quite incredulously, play a race card herself after she just laughed at a black man being called a gorilla and neanderthal.

This person should have nothing to do with any professional environment, It pains me seeing people this stupid elevated to such a pedestal by society they could be considered ambassadors of anything aside from an "Educate your Children" state run programme to raise awareness against abnormally low IQ's-

Beside criticizing her excuse at laughing at racist joke, everything else is just probably as dumb and ignorant as her laughing at racist joke.

 

[PakLFC]

Surely Arsenal can do a lot better then to have an illiterate fan like her representing them. As was the case in the Sarfaraz case racism in the subcontinent is seen in a very different light compared to the west.

Simply we can say that, she doesn't have the required intellectuality to be a brand ambassador. And this lack of intellectuality rather even lack of common sense has resulted in some questionable judgement.

 

[Suleiman]

Lol esp considering what she says here can’t be defended but what he did was just openness about his love life.

 

[Mann Bharya]

Why the hell is she Arsenal's ambassador in India? Can't they find anyone better than this B list actress

 

[aukhan]

Disgusting from a B grade actress.
