Just stick to your guns. Some "fans" believe they have more right to be a supporter just because they've been born closer to the stadium than you. Now would be a good time to acknowledge that MCFC is in fact gaining global popularity because of its success brought by foreign owners and mostly foreign players. Without global support we will never be top, true story.
Whilst I'm one of many that have objected to the Chinese lads comments regards to the Academy, I'm in no way against him supporting the club based on his location.
He could be a white lad from Newton Heath for all I care, I still object to his views on the academy as it is very important for the long-term development of this club.... Mansour may not always be around and if we have this new academy functioning in years to come - maybe we can produce our own Aguero's rather than spending £38mil every time.
Many Blues (including myself) have taken the piss out of Trafford Rangers for having Gloryseekers over in Asia but for me this wasn't intentionally racist or anything - it was a case of Plastic Fans... As in people who's football intelligence had led them to this choice... There are many white English who have made the same choice aswelll... To just sit in a pub/bar every week and watch "their" team...
I'm a big Blue, I've followed City for awhile but if I moved over to China right now, yea sure I would still watch City on Tv but I would make effort to watch my local team, no matter how shit they were....
I don't get this impression from the legions of Tv Watchers over there.
