Racism in Russia is an issue, especially for the World Cup. But in the end, I don't believe Racism will be an issue. Euro 2012 perfect example, all that scaremongering before the tournament started and once it started, we heard zero cases of anything happening. Racism is a huge problem in Italy not to mention. Italy just as bad, with KPB and Balotelli walking off the pitch crying. Russia has hosted countless world championships, but racism is the last thing you'd hear in those. But I do hope Russia sorts its shit out with racism.
Racism around the world is an issue, right here in Manchester - it just isn't as obvious/in your face.
I'm aware of some people who proclaim to be big City supporters yet dislike the ethnicity of our current and previous Thai owner.
They'll cheer when Yaya scores for us but openly dislike him because of his race.
Luckily for us we live in a more tolerant society and thus if anyone near me at the etihad monkey chanted Yaya they'd quickly be removed from the stadium.
I just can't believe this is discussed in 2015... fucking joke.
