Spurs condemned the “vile, dehumanising racism” aimed at Austria international Danso after their 2-2 draw against Brighton on 18 April.
The club unveiled the abuse to the police.
The 27-year-old player told ITV News he had experienced racist abuse when playing in Germany but did not tell anybody at the time.
“The last time I did experience it, I was very young and I didn’t tell anybody about it,” Danso mentioned.
“I feel like this time it was important to say something, just address it and make sure that people are aware I’ve seen it.
“It’s not going to make me play any different and definitely there’s no need for it and basically you’re wasting your time.”
