A thread for nothing

Have to admit, maybe I'm just thick (no maybe about it) but I don't get Sugar's meaning: "recognise them from the beach at Marbella"? What's he saying? Someone help me out here.

Lord Sugar has been criticised for an "unhelpful and ignorant" tweet comparing Senegal's World Cup team to sellers on the "beach in Marbella".

A picture of the team was posted next to pictures of sunglasses and handbags.

Lord Sugar, 71, later deleted the post and apologised, saying "my attempt at humour has backfired".

there's something intrinsically funny about a 71 year old brit named Lord Sugar making a mildly racist and supremely out of touch joke about "beach sellers" at his favorite vacation resort, and then quietly tries to delete it when he realizes "his attempt at humor had backfired."  I don't know who this Lord Sugar is but he has my stamp of approval.

The Africans on the beach selling shit to tourists.

You could make a similar joke about them in nightclub toilets. It's just a stereotype.

@Jwb he is a cunt but you'd probably like him. He tweets like a naughty school kid.

I ended it after the walk on water line.  Good God.  I retract my endorsement.

Jeez man, his jokes are bad, but not worth killing yourself over!
