I basically agree with everything u just posted ^.
But I believe your real point (with this post) is to demonize White soccer fans who want Whiter (West European) national teams, no (?) Or attempt to make them feel foolish w/hair-splitting definitions of what the standard of indigenous is..
So I'm asking, if u believe the tribalism of the World Cup is eliciting a bad thing.. what we better a better formula, moving forward, your opinion (?)
LBC caller says England should lose World Cup because of multiracial team
Whenever people talk about people going against their own self-interest, sometimes putting down other races or cultures is their self-interest.
Judging by the likely outcome, I guess this guy will hate both contenders if England makes it to the final.
It's not.Why is it always white males who are racists?
Nigeria is a divided country by culture too and to make it more complicated half of Nigerians are Muslim, the other half Christian. However, Nigeria has not broken apart despite this and during the world cup, Nigerians do not care what religion or culture the people are on their side. What matters is if they do well. That the same with the French and English side and most people do not care what background they are as long as they do well.I don't want a country to (solely) lose because of their ethnic composition.. but the Western European squads are basically fielding colonial teams...
Teams like Japan, Nigeria, Croatia etc seem to be more accurate representations of their nation's indigenous talent pool (?)
No they aren't. "Country" is roughly synonymous with "state" in that it refers to an entity with a centralized government of some sort that maintains exclusive control over some specific area of land. A nation is a group of people with a shared history, culture, language, (often) religion, customs, and usually ancestry. It's often used interchangeably with ethnicity, though nation implies a more political bent in my mind. If the two were synonymous, the term "nation-state" would be pretty redundant, wouldn't it?Sure they are.
I know this wasn't addressed to me, but I hope that was his point somewhere in his post. Wanting a "Whiter" team is what I would expect to hear from the KKK or Neo Nazis.But I believe your real point (with this post) is to demonize White soccer fans who want Whiter (West European) national teams, no (?)
What does it matter if the teams are indigenous ?
What does that even mean ?
Does it hearken back to a time when humanity did not move and resettle itself in distant ... and/or not so distant lands ?
Allez les Bleus!!!
Why is it always white males who are racists?
That is entirely too ponderous in French. Just like the French too, to make everything ponderous and fancy, even a stupid sports cheer. lol
I watched France beat Uruguay partying at Mimosa Restaurant, in downtown Paris, quaffing beer, surrounded by about 200 passionate Frenchmen, joining in the chants of "Allez les Bleus!!!"
Of course, I could have said to myself "What a stupid sports cheer", and sat by myself in my room. Yeah, that probably would have been a lot more fun. lol
Sorry for misunderstanding, but it sounded identical to every other post you've made about Europeans, and you've made a lot of posts about Europeans since I've joined.I'm not really serious about this.
OK, you've got me here, I'm truly confused. You appear to sincerely believe they are speaking French just to sound fancy. SMH.Of course if you're French you say "Allez les Bleus!!!" But it's still awfully fancy for a sports cheer.
Yeah, those crazy Parisians, speaking French.It needs to come with some kind of fancy sauce reduction instead of wings and beer. If it were food. heh
