"Is the word 'negro' the same in Spanish as it is in English? No, absolutely not.
"Am I a racist? No, absolutely not."
Suarez, revealed that he was surprised when he heard that he was being accused of racism and is also still angry about what happened that day at Old Trafford.
"I was horrified when I first realised that is what I was being accused of and I'm still sad and angry to think that this is a stain on my character that will probably be there forever," he added.
