If that had hit Inzaghi, it would have ended up in the top corner

No he wasnt

Look at the entire sequence.

His positioning was god awful and he had no business being where he was in the first place. Dude was caught ball watching.

Heck even if the ball went in, it would have been ruled out for offside as Lukaku was blocking the GKs view.

There was an almost exact scenario couple of minutes earlier too.

For a supposed self proclaimed top 5 striker in the world, dude's awareness and positioning skills are atrocious

It seems to be in response to the referee's explanation that "negru" is not racist in Romanian.
So basically what he seems to be trying to say is "I can't call Romanians gypsies, even if it's okay in my country. You shouldn't be able to say negru even if it's okay in Romania".
Is it a dumb comparison? Yes.
But your recount of the incident is wrong, unless you have access to audio or video footage which we don't.
Webo seems to have behaved rudely on the bench, but there is no proof or credible report of him calling the refs gypsies.

With that said, the referees deserve an apology.
Millions of professional and amateur "anti-racism activists" made an ass of themselves after this incident and I expect no apology or even acknowledgement of any wrongdoing from them since that movement is dominated by narcissists and cowards with no credibility.
UEFA was scared into revoking Webo's suspension and having the new refs kneel along with clout chasers who ruined a ref's career the day before. Shameful.

We live in the Idiocracy

I'm not saying that his positioning wasn't awful.
I am saying that because of the position he was in he had no time to react to when the ball came his way

Yep, that's exactly why Lukaku was nominated as a top 5 ball-watcher. Perhaps might rank top of the list if he does it again. He put himself in a bad position (off-side) with no time to react, which is not unlucky rather just his own mistake.
