Are You Offended By These Photos of German Fans Painting Their Faces Black During Their Match Against Ghana or Do You See Them As Having A Laugh

After numerous complain from members of the Black community in Brazil and all over the world, FIFA will now investigate after photographs circulated of fans wearing black face makeup at Germany’s match against Ghana.

Photographs taken at the match showed two men, apparently Germany fans, with blackened faces in the Fortaleza stadium on Saturday. Fifa said yesterday that its disciplinary committee is considering opening a case. It will also consider a report by the Fifa match commissioner, Eggert Magnusson of Iceland.

'We do not respect any discriminatory messages,' Fifa spokesperson Delia Fischer said, We always take any evidence or submissions to our disciplinary committee. It is the disciplinary committee that will meet,’ ‘If they see any grounds they will open proceedings. Then it is up to the disciplinary commission to take the decision.’
 In another photo, German chancellor is seen giving a somewhat disapproving face to a fan. Any reader from
Germany here? Is it a normal thing in Germany? given the way they are all comfortable doing what many see as racist.
