Its the prefix "abey" that very clearly signifies the derogatory intent. Like others have explained, the phrase doesn't translate simply to 'black'. its more like 'Hey Blackie'.

People who can't talk in english to save their arse, that's who. Also, wtf is this hassan laughing at? He finds this racial bs funny but turn the table around, will cry a river or two and protest/burn pics in the name of racism. Ignorant douchbags like this should not be allowed to use the net, LOL. Lots of morons in PP seems to be enjoying this racist slur from their favorite captain aswell. Edited January 22, 2019 by Zero_Unit cowboysfan 1 Link to comment

All the other handsome , fair Pakistanis are the descendants of mighty Arabs and Turks. Sarfaraj is definitely Indian though. Link to comment

Yes because "racism" on an online cricket forum is the same as your national captain totla spewing garbage in front of millions whilst representing his country. Link to comment

Muslim communities in South Asia apply a system of social stratification. It developed as a result of ethnic segregation between the foreign conquerors (Ashraf) and the local converts (Ajlaf).

In India it is not racist to call someone black or monkey, I have seen many call their friends like that. We don’t have concept of oppression based on race/color because we are one race.

Calling someone who is dark skinned Kaala or Kallu in India May not be racism in Indian context but it is still mean and offensive. However it carries a different context when referring to black guy especially in the “tone” Sarfraz used here. It was offensive Edited January 22, 2019 by maniac coffee_rules 1 Link to comment
