double standards

I wasn't talking about the discrimination which did take place during an official, ranked and international tennis tournament but about reactions to it.

In 2011, a few football fans set up a banner during a 4th league football game.
There was a caption on the banner saying: 'Death to crooked noses'.
(which was outrageous as well)

Now, the reaction of the Polish media was immediate. Leftist newspapers and TV stations were crying their eyes out on how 'Polish fans are rotten with nationalistic beliefs and antisemitism.
The fans were obviously arrested, prosecuted and sentenced to 6 months and community services.
The Jewish Community submitted an official request to the Polish National football association asking for apologies.
ADL (http://www.adl.org/) did the same. (an international reaction to a local game in a city which doesn't even exist on US maps of Poland (sic!))
In their letter they obviously appealed to the Holocaust, to the 700 000 Jewish victims who were killed in the district etc.
Now, were these reactions proper to what happened? Definitely they were, at least on the local/national scale.

But what I learn from this thread is the fact that when the situation is almost (yes, I admit that these two cases are not equal) reverted, 'nothing has actually happened'.
The thread is getting derailed by jester-like comments fueled by the board's anti-semite hunter no 1 MH and Alex gets into the brig for a very good post which explains the double standards.
The fact that Takeda has boldfaced 3 instances of forbidden behavior proves that he has no idea what he is fighting against. (at least you didn't boldface the Westboro Church).
Well, that's actually nothing new - I had a sample of his reasoning a few months ago, in another Jew-related thread.
Keep that baton tighter and smack us, anti-semites, harder.

Back to the incidents. What I demand is equal reactions to both of them. But what happens is that movies documenting the incident are deleted, ppl come here with stupid comments, everyone claps and a guy who said that 'double standards' exist, gets a ban.
