Former Arsenal and Palace striker Ian Wright offered his support to the Ivory Coast international.
"People like to make these experiences seem like it's not the norm for black people. It's always an outlier. 'Not one of us'. 'Not a real (insert club) fan'," Wright tweeted.
"These are real people and daily experiences. Sooner we accept it the better we can deal with it," he added.
