Arsenal has some songs they sing against rivals Tottenham and I dont know the exact words but a good portion of it is directed against the 'Jews' in Tottenham....
Very, very odd notion. You really need to get out and actually meet some normal English people rather than hanging with BNP arseholes.

As for the chants it's less to do with racism per se and everything to do with the remnants of the yob/hooligan culture the UK football had in huge doses back in the 80's. The idiots involved simply picked the easiest target as an excuse for abuse and violence which could be anything from race to not liking the way you walk. Just a shame there's still a huge element of them left in the stands even if they tend to restrict it more to chants than physical assults these days.
