Hatred or just friendly banter against the Mags?

Besides which, the last time I checked nobody was actively promoting racism as the image of the region, and the problem is what Newcastle United and its supporters actively promote as their idea of a positive image for the area.

Take the pastie-munching... some Sunderland fans are fat, yeah. But we don't elevate the morbidly obese to the level of folk heroes. We don't encourage them to get their tits out at every available opportunity. We don't make them celebrity fans for no other reason than that they've got the clubs' initials tattooed over one of their several bellies. And you don't see our owner getting his stomach out to pose for pictures with some fucktarded lard bucket. That's the difference.
