Two things are obvious on this site.
1. Brighton fans hate stereotyping. As soon as anyone mentions two or more Brighton gentlemen of certain persuasions carrying out legal activities in private, the site goes mental about discrimination.
2. Brighton fans love stereotyping. As soon as anyone mentions people from the north, out come the unimaginative knee-jerks about whippets, black pudding, clogs, UKIP, and of course illegal incest.
Why is this?
Oh get off your high horse: every time I've ever listened to an Albion game from Turf Moor on the radio, all I can hear in the background is voices shouting "Fookin' get oop, yer soft southern pansies" and so on. That sort of thing goes on everywhere. Equally, I'm not sure calling somebody a soft shandy-drinking southerner or a pigeon-fancying northerner is anywhere near the same thing as calling people "******s", for example.
