What about Mario Balotelli? The guy wasn’t considered Italian until he turned 18 years old ,even though he was born in Italy.
That is the Italian law.
Yeah its insane. As italian i'm ashamed about the racism in italy and in europe in general. And now with our new gov. it will get even worse.
@@tobiisiba1641 it’s a rather stupid law, isn’t it?

@@shhshs9139 I'm really trying to understand your point. Is a black horse any different from a white horse? Does the stable in which a horse make it any less of a horse?
It should be illegal to call football as "soccer".
I agree
it's called soccer here in AMERICA ok buddy
who cares
@@thecurmudgeon7350 It wasn't Scotland, it came from Oxford University.
You're so edgy.
The idea that football will somehow solve or help deal with racism or other forms of discrimination is imo laughable at the end of the day football is just entertainment , if football really had that sort of power than Red Star Belgrade winning the 1991 champions league would have stopped the breakup of Yugoslavia.
Didier Drogba and the Ivory Coast team managed to stop a civil war rooted in religion, back in 2007
After getting them into them into the 2006 World Cup they went on national TV and went to their knees begging to stop the war and asked to hold elections
In 2007 he asked for a match to be played in a Bouake, a rebel stronghold area.
Because of celebrations, their pleading, and Drogba's persuasion to play in hard-hit areas, both sides of the conflict signed a peace treaty and ended the war
Football is not just entertainment, it's everything
I support Senegal and I’m African so I don’t have any of these problems😂. 🇸🇴
wow just wow
I get you don’t have these problems bro but don’t you care about the people that do?
Everyone in the comments is more offended that the video is titled with soccer instead of football than the subject matter of racism in soccer. Lol
well, its more important topic, lul
because football is real name
One does not exclude the other, you know how it is.

True
mourinho is right if players start representing their native countries Their be more diverse world champions and overall it would make the sport more entertaining.
yes, for few years maybe, but then those natives will not be playing in european teams so there will be no more good native players anymore.

NO AFRICAN IN AFRICA IS CALLING THEMSELVES FRENCH…KNOCK IT OFF
The whole hijab thing is justified... Why middle Eastern Sharia law enforced countries, can dictate what you can and not dress but westerners can't?
Why when I go to Afghanistan I can't preach the gospel on the streets? But when you afganis come to western counties y'all preach your Islam ...
Don't get me wrong I'm don't condone any islamaphobia or whatever phobia, but let's be consistent ...if you mention western discrimination also mention their own discrimination against other faiths
religious discrimination isnt ok for any country to do
So what I can’t wear a crucifix either? Is my Jewish friend not allowed to wear a yamulke? I think it’s equally wrong to ban the hijab as it is to force women to wear one.
Afghanistan is such a bad example when you know it's dark history, it almost like comparing a western country with North Korea

Racism exists in all parts iof the world for minority groups. I was raised in an Island with 75% were black and racism against me was terrible by blacks. We all have some form of racism inside of us- despite what your mind says. This doesn't necessarily mean on skin color, however even your gender or sexual orientation.
Was it one of the Caribbean islands?
What's a soccer?
No idea mate, sounds like sucker
It,s football
⚽
Racism been there in Europe for a long time, what Benzema and Ozil said also being said by Einstein in the 30's which said basically like 'if my theory not proven, for French i'm German and for German i'm just Jews'. European just became good at hiding it behind the notion of democracy, human right, liberal or progressive but the deep inside them, they very conservative. And remember they not only doing racist notion to the human descent from outside the continent but they also doing it to human descent from their own continent like Brexit notion toward Polish people in Uk for example. In the Netherlands, the Dutch (especially the Government) still cannot differentiate between the Indos and the Indonesian despite been living together there for at least 72 year since the Dutch leaving the Indonesia archipelago in 1950, the question should rise 'how can you make sure all Dutch people have their human right, have their opportunity be fulfilled by government policy when your own government don't know how diverse and rich you are as a nation ? The answer will be : we will make policy based on White Dutch citizen and you all second-class citizen will follow it like your ancestor did when we introduced Ethical policy in the colony hundred year ago". Yes the racist Ethical policy which basically saying "We will give back to the colony, we will develop the colony and we will help the helplessness of native and provide them opportunity" but behind it they basically said "You just Barbarian so you will think like us, You don't have your own language so you will speak our language, You don't have your own culture so you will embrace our culture and you will became like us so be greatful".
So basically we not learn from the past and today we as human is not less racist then people of yesterday, we just happen to be good hiding it especially hiding it from the people of tomorrow.
Arabs are very racist as well. They were in the past and they are also today the same. it is what it is, this is part of humanity. and OUR history, all of us. We all have flaws, if u say no then you prove me who you are. The Ottoman empire was one of the worst in the world when it came to racism and slavery.
@@janexerikus8021 I'm not saying that other Human from outside Europe is not racist, they not holy after all. Middleeastern is racist, East Asian is racist, Southeast Asian is racist, South Asian is racist, all human is racist at the end but not at the same time like how European (government usually) campaigning their democracy, liberty, freedom, human right to all people like their way is the most righteous way to live in this planet and others is evil so they need to change to become like European (or "American") when European or American still have this negative view (stereotype) toward other different from them.
I'm not denying what you said that is why i said we not change at all, we not evolve to better society in this case world society because we human choose not to learn and we choose to bury and hiding our past because we are to proud of our existence as human being as individually or collectively based on our identities, we human choose to paying attention in our skin color which are abstract concept and overlook our sameness that we have skin which are reality or we choose to see about the different shape of an eye we got and overlook that we have sameness that we have an eye. We choose to see differences first before our commonality as human being. We can change thing but we choose not to and so we act like we change.
@@senoalamsyah7481 western countries are mostly homogeneous you take Britain, France, Germany, they have the same language and culture but for Africans you can have hundreds of culture and languages in one country yet they learn to tolerate one another, they treat people with decency and exhibit the human experience as it should be. With nationalism at an all time high across Europe what moral right do we have to virtue signal other countries. We talk about inclusion and tolerance yet racism is prevalent across the continent but choose to talk about "oppressive regime in the Middle East" without looking closer to home.
@@prayerpartner2093 yes, we as human need to see our self in the mirror first before talking about our virtue to other human being.
@@prayerpartner2093 no they dont have the same culture nor language

Africans helped France win twice with of course Zidane is African his background is Algerian and scored two goals in the final.
France still steal 80% of the GDP from 14 African countries...800 billion dollars france steal yearly from Africa, not just stealing African players.
interesting- the same barometer applies to human rights qualifications. they don’t apply to Africans
when we demand human rights, we are reminded of where we come from/ who we are (what we are), and we are put back in our place by ANY means possible.
Africans have human rights in Africa.
the "human right" for young fit black men to be let into any country they feel like? To leave safe countries and traverse through safe countries so they can "claim asylum" in the rich prosperous Northern European welfare states? If you want to complain about Africans' human rights being violated, maybe turn your focus to the AFRICAN leaders and governments doing it.

When I was young I supported England and if I had the talent there would have been no question about me choosing to play and represent England. When I was a young man I seriously thought about joining the British armed forces and dedicate my life to fighting for its causes. Now I'm a mature man and been taught through multiple experiences that I'm not English or indeed British..... I've had to reflect on who I am and how I came to be born in England. What I learnt, which they don't teach in schools, was sobering. Now I'm less naive and it's rare that I support Britain on most international stages.
Nah bro be proud to be British and from England, there are whotes that are proud to be African in South Africa and Namibia so why can’t you. Be the change you want to see.
What you said about not being taught in schools can also be said here in the States with American history.
@@chrisbacos: And here’s the crazy part….. I also had part of my teenage education in Africa and guess what? I didn’t learn the truth about slavery or colonialism there either. SMDH.

Isn't it typical. Rashford (who experienced it) says it wasn't racist. Only to be interrupted and corrected because he doesn't support the narrative. Listen to the guy who experienced it please!
The way the fans, cities, and countries treat players idk why any of them would be loyal to a team.
LoL way more people upset about the word soccer instead of the point of the damn video.
Africans and Arabs are not French
When Saka's penalty was saved, I knew what was coming, the loud minority of racists will be heard. Didn't expect some to come from outside England though. I desperately wanted either Rashford or Sterling to score the winner. 1. Rashford for what he had been doing for kids in poverty & 2. Sterling, honestly just because his secondary school is the closest one to Wembley Stadium.

If I should feel this way in the country I belong as a citizen, then I will stop playing period.
I really appreciated learning about the racist experience of these Soccer/Football players. I am Black American. I remember hearing about all of racist rhetoric in the middle 2000’s. I would love a segment on the diversity of soccer within The United States. While internationally, soccer/football is very diverse sport. In The US, I don’t think access to the sport is makes it diverse at all. I’m hoping for a change.
So what about basketball in the US? Is it reverse racist?
@@JerryDowst white people play basketball
Lol. So Mexicans aren’t considered diverse now?
@@strangecoasteroutdoors799 not if its all of em no obviously
@@JerryDowst Racism works in one direction, mate---and it's been more inclusive than exclusive. USian basketball is just another example of race-based exploitation (i.e. diversity and inclusion). Sure, the Black male players make millions---but their "exceptional" labor makes far more money for the owners, corporations, etc. AND, compared to their prodigal counterparts, Black players are disproportionately [the] breadwinner for their entire extended families and home communities.
These days, you don't necessarily have to read a book. It's too easy to simply pay attention. Otherwise, you prove yourself a fool. Every. Time.

World Cup/Colonial Games lol
Sports are about a territory, made up of a 'country' (some eye catching colours as well of course) and another predefined territory kicking a ball of air into a net, or some other movement within spatial boundaries. It breeds nationalism and division. And of course the concept of 'money'. From buying teams to betting.

Football, soccer, call it what you will, will not change the effects of systemic racism. Case in point…look at the U.S. All of the sports have blacks, and sports like basketball, football, and for quite a while boxing, have been dominated by blacks, or are majority black when you look at the players. The sports may be integrated, but the many of the fans are still racists. Unfortunately, it is possible to be a non person of color, love LeBron James, and still hate black folks and people of color. As long a he’s winning for your city, or state, or even country (USA Olympic basketball team), you love him…but, daily, you can see people who look like him and still think of them as animals.
dont forget that france's very own demebele is also racist against asians
They are not French
it also means it descriminates against other religions but of course you wont mention that
Secularism "discriminates" against Christianity too. Don't move there if you don't want to accept their values. Can't have your cake and eat it too.

I guess here are the hybrids, the human guinea pigs, to prove it to French people or the rest of the sky-pointed nose ones (Partly missing brain ones), what reality and coexistence are all about. Till then, please make sure to score and not miss that ball or have a tougher ball!
What coexistence are you referring to? Living on the same planet? Sure, absolutely. Living in the same continent or country? No thank you. Everybody has their place in this world. Nobody has the right to go to any continent, or country, and expect to be family. Why can't Africans immigrate to other African countries? Why can't Asians immigrate to other Asian countries? Ukranian refugees aren't going to Uganda, Mongolia, or Haiti. Most are remaining in Europe in countries close to Ukraine.
@@makeuthink2120 Dear friend and you have some valid points (a Few) however let's not forget people don't go from bad to worst or migrate as you express, so the rest is very clear. In fact and despite all you have heard, the greatest beneficiary of immigration is the host country or why is the USA so glorious till now? as opposed to the totally sunken glory of Britain and likewise! Please look more deeply into the matter.
Additionally seems you have a problem with your neighbors even in the same country or continent but not planet or universe! Again please take that additional step in the deeper review and you see we are all the prisoners of this land. Whether you like it or not. It's the duty of our better ones to find a way to make the coexistence or why is it that they say, "With power, comes responsibility"!
Have a great day.
@@samsen3965 Hello. I would beg to differ.
Countries like Japan and South Korea didn't become developed because of immigration. They adopted Western influences without immigrants from the West.
Regarding the USA, the colonists/immigrants (mostly from Western Europe) didn't travel to a country that was built, but rather to a land that was still being built (of course at the expense of the Native Americans who are not happy that today there are millions of people on their land who were never invited by them). The voluntary participation in american society by the Native Americans and blacks was limited. They were not the decision makers. There's a reason why the natives were put on reservations and why blacks were discriminated against. Asians boasting about the Chinese building the railroad in America is nothing to brag about because they just allowed themselves to be the cheap labor.
The immigrants of the past decades are basically parasites. They go to countries that are already built, attend universities already established, and continue the technology and medicine that was pioneered before them. All the hard work was already done. What keeps the USA going are its big corporations and its 800 military instalations around the world that ensures their access to the world's natural resources while at the same time intervening in other countries.
I will say the problem with Britain is one of finance and priorities, and not a problem that non-European immigrants can solve. Britain still has economic issues since the 1930's. At that same time period Germany was able to recover from its 3rd world conditions without the big banks or Non-european immigrants. Germans farmed their own land, built their own highways, worked in their own factories and cleaned their own cities and towns. Best regards.
@@makeuthink2120 Germany took a lot of turkish and Greek immigrants in so they could rebuild their country. They even had an agreement with Turkey and gave Turks German residence.
France took in a lot of north africans from former colonies and Britain took in a lot from their former and current colonies too. They all needed people after losing so many of their men to war.
To all these countries immigration is used to keep their economy going. Especially when wars destroyed a lot of their working population.
@@GrandT343 Hello. Before WW2 Germany took in workers from Holland and other countries. Germany created so many jobs that they needed workers. It wasn't because the Germans weren't willing to do the work. There was full employment.
France and Britain could recruit from among other European countries or provide work incentives to European people who live outside of Europe (i.e. Canada, Austrailia, South Africa) to return to the continent.
How much better is France and Britain (I've been to both countries) thanks to Non-European immigrants? Immigrants don't keep their economy going. Responsible fiscal policies and investments are what keep the economy going. Japan lost a lot of their population after the war but Japan didn't invite millions of African immigrants to rebuild their country. Cheers.

@@kenlandon6130 Wikipedia: `French law on secularity and conspicuous religious symbols in schools` // `Since 1905, France has had a law requiring separation of church and state, prohibiting the state from recognizing or funding any religion. Schools directly operated by the national or local governments must not endorse or promote any religious dogma (whether endorsing an existing religion or endorsing atheism or any other philosophy). Schools funded totally or in part by the national and local governments by law must not force students into religious education; they should remain equally accessible to children of any, or no, faith. For example, even though a majority of the population nominally professes Catholicism (although far fewer regularly practice Catholicism), government-operated French schools have no communal prayers, religious assemblies, or Christian crosses on the walls. The Constitution of France says that France is a laïque (roughly, secular) Republic.`
