Racist Number Plate?
Fulham fan sues over 'come on you whites' number plate
A Fulham fan is suing California's car licensing agency after they rejected his request for a "Come on You Whites" number plate because it could have "racial overtones".
Jon Kotler claims the decision by California's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) violates his right to free speech under the US constitution's first amendment.
His application for a number plate reading "COYW", an acronym of a chant among fans of the Premier League club, was denied, he says, after the DMV ruled it could have "racial overtones" and carry "connotations offensive to good taste and decency".
Mr Kotler, himself a lawyer based in Los Angeles, said: "You can't allow bureaucrats to make decisions that are fundamental to what it means to be an American, and our free speech is one of those things.
