I would be willing to bet my house that there are plenty of people piling onto Bellingham on twitter etc because he isn't white. Doesn't matter if race is being mentioned or not. Plenty on twitter will jump at the chance of giving him abuse because he has a black parent. While there will be plenty who just don't like his attitude which is by and large understandable, there will be plenty driven by race. That's the world we have been living in for a long time now.
