I think the fault of all this is political correctness. That social blight has caused more problems than it has solved and created trouble where there should have been none. :(
I watched an interview with Kenny only this morning, where he explained why he and the team are backing Luis. He stated he could not say what he really thinks because he knew if he did he'd get in trouble. See? Again a problem with political correctness...one cannot speak their mind or speak the truth in a situation like this. :((
Kenny explained that Luis said something that is widely used where he comes from, and even to himself. Apparently his wife calls him what he called Evra, all the time. And of course, we know the word 'negro' in Spanish is 'black', but in English is a derogatory word for a black person, used as an insult. The whole thing is ridiculous, but anyone who comes out in Luis' defense will be branded a racist.
It's really a bad situation and unfortunately, it can't be remedied at this point in time. :(((
