Personally I like Roy Orbison and it clearly wasn't written or recorded with Rangers in mind, there seems to be 101 reasons why on Google, unfortunately most of them suggest connective undertones and I don't mean about my little cousin called Kevin..

It refers to a shooting in an amusement arcade several years ago.
Another chapter in the Old Firm classic of giving and taking offence in equal measure.

I don't see how this fits in with racism being the most misused word in the english language as you put it?

Also, I have a hard time addressing anecdotal evidence, he said she said stories from people on the internet, too open to bias.

My last point would be, were you offended? Did the comments make you feel belittled because of your heritage, and did it bring up feelings of the lack of opportunity, daily persecution, constant stereotyping and the historical struggle of the white man in england. I personally wouldn't be for the reasons I'm hinting at, but I would also never arrogantly tell anyone they don't have a right to be offended as I can't put myself in their shoes, how the issue is addressed or if it should be is a different matter

Well that's always been my understanding. Of course, the song itself wasn't written with reference to the incident unless the Big O was a currant bun!
It's a nice song.
