Chelsea striker Sam Kerr has been found not guilty of causing racially aggravated harassment, after calling a Metropolitan Police officer "stupid and white". A jury at Kingston Crown Court cleared her in relation to an incident in Twickenham, south-west London, on 30 January 2023.
But of course, how could there be any other result?
Everything in context. White people have subjugated and tortured people of colour for generations. Had Kerr said ‘stupid and black’ in London it would have had a completely different meaning. Or indeed, had she said what she said in an Africa country it would have had a different meaning.
The dirty Irish has another meaning than saying the dirty Germans.
But is it all worth the money, energy, attention and publicity it has received?
Doubtful.
