Indians are more passionate about their cricket if I didn't live so far away I'd he their wish more English were more passionate about our other national sport.But your not racist mate.
 
I don't think you are being racist at all..Many of these so-called Indian supporters are probably 4th or 5th generation "British", and immigration without integration is a ticking time bomb in my opinion..I couldn't understand the mentality of hosting this match at Edgbaston, where it was a certainty that England supporters would be in the minority..This game should have been played at Durham where I reckon England fans would have been in the majority..

Probably why Reg guaranteed sell out at egbaston to many lazy English supporters. can't understand why 3rd & 4th generation aren't supporting England I'm an English man living in Scotland but would expect any gran kids I had to probably support Scotland unless I move south of the border.
 
If any of you feel that the Op is in any way racist then you haven't a clue about racism. Try going to West or South Africa, you'll see racism in full swing.

I'd say the English are as passionate. The lads have a great following.

Watch the Ashes in the winter when we go Down Under, loads of expats, tourists go there. Same for tests in the Windies, NZ, South Africa, Sri Lanka, India.
 
Before the match today on sky sports they interviewed a group of Indians and quite a few said they were supporting England so its obvious that some of the 2nd 3rd and 4th generations do support England
 
As a 2nd generation type, my dad moved here for University, I support both England and Sri Lanka in cricket (England/Britain in everything else). That said, I am quite the traitor as I spent my first six years in Scotland!! Don't really know any other ethnic minorities so I cannot comment on them but for me, I am British and proud. The OP is right and I am glad no one took this as I thought it would have been.
