Amaury Pierron Issues Apology For Racist Content on his Instagram Story

It always amazes me when people post something like this then have to retract it. I mean, how dumb do you to be? How could he possibly think that was going to go OK?

An EU Friend of mine that has English as one of their 2 second languages used it in front of me very recently, I was shocked but to them it was just an everyday word with no story or context behind the meaning.

The crux of it can be that English and International English are two very different things even if as a native English speaker you think English is English. In a room full of foreigners speaking English it is probably the native English speaker that is least understood.

As if being a downhilling radster wasn’t badass enough, he’s got cornrows as well. those guys are so edgy.

Amanda Batty nails this on insta.
They were racist as ****.

Isn’t he from Reunion island (French ruled island off the coast of Africa in the southern Indian ocean), while I still don’t really believe his apology, his upbringing could have been and probably was a very culturally different from France.

Even without the language the whole thing is racist & dumb.

Commencal have just disabled comments on their instagram account

Does everyone know how offensive ceetain terms and words are in different languages?

The ‘K word’ will almost certainly land you in very hot water with any south African – except those that use it knowingly.

‘Boer’ is mildly offensive too – especially coming from an English person.

Pierron has never struck me as a genius and he is a bit of a loose cannon. I can see how he could have listened to some records and thought it was just edgy and amusing. Whatever the French equivalent is of the n-word, he isn’t the kind of bloke who I think would use it. I hope not, anyway.

I think anyone with any intelligence has figured out the difference between one group of people using a term and another

There is no difference remember. Either everybody gets to sing it or no one does.

Definitely not how it works though if you are from a certain subset of the American population its a term of endearment

If you are white and mention the word your immediately a racist , oh how very woke, god forbid you’re a white person singing along at a Kendrick lemar concert.

we’re going to have to deal with all the crap Jesus said.

Yet we still do have to deal with all the crap Jesus said, not to mention a whole host of other fictional religious deity’s.

Steelbike – why are you so keen to normalise the use of an offensive racial slur?

And today it is the turn of the German green party leader to apologise for using the N word in a TV interview.

You can’t even be racist any more without people calling you racist. I remember when woke used to be called ‘political correctness gone mad’ – those were good times.

Seriously dude, your toys… all over the floor. What will yer mammy say when she gets back from the pub?

Have any sponsors said anything about this or are they hoping it will blow over?

I get the feeling of this was a more mainstream sport he would have been dropped for this

That mucoff statement makes no sense. He rides for commencal muc-off and they are remaining as title sponsors of the team. So what are they actually withdrawing? He will still be racing  with their logos all over him

So what are they actually withdrawing?

The guy who first put it on insta, is the team manager of commencal 21 (a different team to commencal mucoff), mucoff have withdrawn their support/funding of that team. They have also insisted that Pierron (commencal mucoff rider who shared the original story) do an awareness course

Seems that now, anything regarding mucoff on social media now has a ‘tell us you are racist, without telling us you are racist’ section.
