Video: West Ham fans brilliantly demonstrate how NOT to be racist

So simple, so effective

Eoghan Doherty

Racism is a horrible, disgusting thing.

Unfortunately, racism reared its ugly head during the week, as some Chelsea fans refused to let a black man on a train in Paris following their Champions’ League clash with Paris Saint-Germain.

You can read about that nasty incident here and club captain John Terry’s comments on the matter here.

West Ham are playing away at Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League today and a number of fans travelling to the match by train recorded this very simple, but very powerful example of how easy it is to NOT be a racist.

Brilliant stuff.
