'DVD is going off' Claude AFTV

The remark that cause Claude from AFTV to get suspended from the channel indefinitely.

This was during the North London Derby, where Claude calls Heung Min Son A "DVD" when he is going off.

DVD is a "racist" term towards Asians, Son had been targeted with racial abuse the same words (West Ham supporters called him DVD ) in November 2017 and Claude refused to apologize for his choice of words

The Football Network explains that the term “DVD” has been used by rival fans in reference to oriental people who sell DVDs in the East London area. The chant mocks and makes fun of oriental and Asian culture and, in this case, racially stereotyping Son Heung-min.

In another reality Son didn't get subbed and Claude was still a part of aftv..

I’m so tired of this cancel culture man. Claude wasn’t in the best state at this time and being canceled and kicked out from AFTV probably depresed him Even more. It’s so sad that this happend really. I used to watch old Claude videos When I was down and They always put me in a good mood. RIP legend you will never be forgoten

[BlitzShott]

Didn’t need to suspend him just have him apologise or something. Don’t like what he said but really easy to just apologise rather than deflect and getting hate

Claude said "DVD is coming off" referring to back in the early 2000s around here in London you would see alot of chinese people selling knock off pirated DVDs (most were bad quality where someone would secretly film the movie inside the cinema with a camcorder). They would go up to strangers in the street with their bags of dvds in a plastic sleeve and they were movies that just came out in cinema or werent even out yet.

Also sometimes in bad english they would come up to you and say "YOU Want DVD?" I remember those days!

Strange this moment led to claude's eventual passing

Bring Claude back!!!! He's the reason I watch the channel.

How come Troopz hasn't been removed? He made a racist remark about Harry Kane. There seems to be a case of double standards at play. Either they both get removed or none of them do.

RIP to the legend we all make mistakes

[rashidkhalid]

Them dvd days seemed to be just a few years back a lot of young generation don't have clue what dvd is

[DeathblowMateria]

Ridiculous overreaction but that's 2020 for you

[chancesareshewears]

Harsh and Claude is not bad bloke, it's a generational thing, he's fragile and he needs AFTV. I think he's very vulnerable/ I'm a Spurs fan.

[jujujumbie]

As a black person i see what the issue is after research black lives matter, all lives matter including asian most we can do is hope claude will see the error of his action and repent

[zavierarmani]

So Lee Gunner can imitate Bhav from Young Guns by putting a dot on his head but Claude gets banned for this? Not to mention Troops many dodgy calls

[redlife]

Banned for that a little harsh like this man is not a racist...

[TubeLadin]

They will show the phonejacker episodes but Claude can't say DVD. Fucking unbelievable.

[wheatish]

So, DVD alludes to pirated copies that Asians supposedly sold? Hmm. You learn something new every day. I was wondering what the fuss was.

[Hoxton]

I've known Claude 15 year hes a nice bloke good heart and loyal friend trust me.

[oliwingate]

If mourinho didn’t sub son off, then Claude would still be alive :(

[jamesBFC]

Imagine if AFTV cared more about one of their most integral people rather than sponsorships. He'd probably still be alive today...

[jumbojimbo]

No doubt played a role in losing him. Cancel culture is much more disgraceful than the actions it deems to be offensive
