Re: Ogie's hair

Yes, but the difference is Caucasians haven't historically been the victims of racism. In a majority white country we've unsurprisingly been in a position of power and not had to worry about people abusing us because of our race. It might be a majority white country but let’s be straight only a min...

Re: Azeem Rafiq

It isn't difficult to recognise that being an absolute idiot as a teenager isn't the same as an entire clubs culture being racist to the top. This is difficult to prove one way or another. Any BAME player released by a county over the last 20 years can claim that it was a decision based on race and...

Real basket case of a sport.
Do you reckon cricket has more issues than any other sport? Can’t imagine it’s any different in other ‘middle class‘ sports - rugby, swimming, hockey, horsey stuff will all be the same.
Definitely not enough black jockeys.

Did this show up on any searches for those who have recently moved to say Canvey for example?

Also what impact will we see in properties in these areas? No one wants to purchase a house and be underwater in 10 years.
