Thanks, that's what I'm trying to say lol. I wouldn't say it makes Britain look bad but calling him a faker etc. is harsh when I don't see how they've come to that conclusion.

The reason I say that is that the UK has a reputation for being very racist.
The front page of a paper saying "He's Iranian Not Scouse!" is ridiculous. First of all, he's HALF Persian. Secondly, I never hear people say "Iranian" about Persians, unless they're talking politics. Third, can you only be Scouse if you're 100% "white"?
This kind of thing makes the British look racist when people in the rest of the world read it.
