Mixed race players

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

I don't think it's unique to footballers - I'd hazard a guess that many mixed race people will have been on the end of discrimination in much the same way as black people and as a result tend to identify more with the "black viewpoint" for want of a better phrase.

That's a fair point well made.

Exactly. Someone who is only half black doesn't get half the discrimination of someone who has two black parents. It makes sense for anyone who is likely to be subject to racial discrimination to belong to a group helping victims of it.

Nothing to do with football or football players. Bob Marley - white father, black mother considered himself black. Obama has a white mother and black father considers himself black. I consider myself black as well even though my one parent is white. Its neither here nor there really, just personal preference really.

Apparently mixed race is un PC these days it's dual nationality!! My wife who is half Arabic half English said what a load of bollocks that is.

How can it be dual nationality if both your parents are British?

Why do many mixed race players claim to be black?

What does Ashley Cole claim to be? I know what Ferdinand believes he is.

If Rio didn't have afro style hair I'd think he would be 100% white. He would have loved to have played Lloyd in corrie a few weeks ago he could cry and play the race card, the thick camel chewing ****

I think the correct PC phrase is mixed or dual heritage. Which sounds to me like the offspring of a dustbinman and a duke's daughter. Mind you, PC phrasing changes every so often just to keep us all on our toes.

Surely you would class yourself as white? White is the best

Who gives a fuck? Fucking colour of people doesn't make a jot of difference you absolute fool

I didn't say it mattered you ignoramus. I was merely asking out of curiosity why Wio sees himself as black when he in fact isn't.

Simply because historically white people considered them as being more black than white but is this the most pointless discussion ever, who cares. Rio is tw*t his colour is irrelevant.

When they find it, I predict 30 pages and 9 bans.

Take Wio for example - he's a founder and member of the federation of black players apparently but he's as much white as he is black.

He is as much white as he is black and it's something I've never understood.

It's like all that "Barak Obama is the first black president of the United States" stuff....erm, I'll think you find he isn't. He's the first mixed race president of the US.

Who knows, who cares, threads like this can only really cause trouble.

Only if you're a smacked arse and can't openly talk about things without getting offended. It's a fair talking point.<br /><br />-- Thu Aug 29, 2013 2:27 pm --<br /><br />

My mixed race mate calls himself 'half caste'. He only learnt what it meant a few years ago and said he wasn't arsed anyway.

Spock's another fucker for doing this. Half Vulcan and half human but calls himself a Vulcan.

Doesnt it mean "half pure" or something!? People say it all the time without realising how shitty it really is

Don't know the answer to the question,but you get folk born and bred in England for example who will call themselves Irish/Scot/welsh whatever because of there parentage and who they feel more affiliated with.
So its probably something along them lines.
But tbh aslong as said person isn't a bell end it doesn't matter anymore, you get bell ends in all shapes.sizes and colors.
Good and bad in us all,the trick is to get rid of the bad and the rest of us enjoy our serlves. =)

On one thing we can all agree: the camel is a prize bell end.

it's and interesting question and that's an interesting retort.

I had never really thought about it before.

Deep down it doesn't really matter though
