Let me use your own claims to ask you a question instead. You said it’s okay that England has a large number of black players because that’s a meritocracy. Those players got there because they are clearly talented and deserve it. You also feel there are a too many people of colour on TV as presenters, but, like the England players you mentioned, are they not also be there through merit? Why is one thing merit, and the other bias? You can’t claim one thing and believe the opposite when it suits you.
Are you being serious? Wow

Yes you can believe it is box ticking where TV is concerned. Which is proved by the fact both BBC and ITV have advertised for positions where whites are excluded. People like Trevor Philips are there because they are excellent at what they do some of the others are not. A KCOM advert showed then going into 4 houses in Hull, one black, one Asian, one mixed race and one white. Is that a true reflection of 87% white Hull?
It isn’t a question of too many people of colour on TV but the fact we constantly hear about people of colour being under represented and there should be quotas but TV does not represent the demographics of the country where 82% are white.

It would be a better and more successful solution for Cityzen to attend a 'racial awareness course' where he is re-educated, much like a speed awareness course, rather than prosecuted and criminalised for his racism, which would just block up the courts and be someone else in prison costing the taxpayer £45k annually.
 
As the initial topic of this thread relates directly to the club, it has been left open for discussion even though it does fall within the normal areas that posters have requested are limited.

With that in mind, please keep the conversation civil and on topic.

If it drifts too far from the initial topic, or to exchanges of personal abuse directed at posters or other sections of society, it will be locked.

What racism have I shown? Pointing out others are just as racist as whites?

Presumably calling someone racist when they are not is personal abuse?
