Suarez admitted to saying 'Negrito', not 'Negro'
In the case, admitted he couldn't be sure (I believe)

no, he admitted saying Negro
"Suárez had claimed that his use of the word 'negro' to address Evra was conciliatory and friendly, but the FA rejected this claim as being "unsustainable and simply incredible given that the players were engaged in an acrimonious argument"

did you read the FA report or just the Liverpool website?

Yes, I've read the FA report, have it open as we speak too.
Allow me to clarify what I meant. When I said about Suarez admitting the use of the word 'negrito', that was before he was charged, and it can be argued that if he hadn't given them that ammunition, it's been argued that they might not have even been able to present a case, as their evidence was weak.

However, Suarez admittal of using the word 'negrito' arguably lead to the charge being levelled against him a few days later.

What followed was one man vs another. Not helping that fact is that Suarez is clearly a fucking idiot.

However, as whoever that is below puts it, I'm making myself look a tool no matter what I say, so I shall go back to the opinion I had before, and that's that I don't have an opinion.

AA, please bear in mind that I give not one shit about either (or any) team here
And that I like you personally. But, please give it up, trying to argue what you arguing, based even just on the facts you agree to is really fucking pathetic and makes you look like a tit.

SOrry dude.

I didn't think Latin was racist
as racism hadn't been invented yet?

I'm also intrigued in any case
as to how calling him "little black man" is defensively better than "black man"

It's an affectionate term, as Hernandez shows here by calling a teammate it

However, that was between friends. The question as to whether it can be used as a non-affectionate term wasn't addressed

it was addressed
by having a panel of Spanish language experts analyse it.
