But I'm sure you're not suggesting that black players get an easy ride but white players are expected to just grin and bear it?

Their complaints are taken on board, but White players have to put up with the taunts, and don't really have any avenue to pursue. The reason for the taunts is the SAME. That being so, then both sets should be treated the SAME. That is equality. Do the White players try to get fans or even whole clubs banned? Of course not. In my example, did Howard Gayle try to get the fans banned? No, he recognised it for what it was, ie taunts to try and put him off. If there had been something that could've been aimed at a White player as a taunt, then it would've been.
