I hate racism but I also hate stock tokenism. People are fundamentally people.

Why are some people so obsessed with making everything about skin colour?

This.

It's like a new form of OCD at this point where a number white, black & Asian people all have to have an equal amount as each other taking part in the same thing.

Like my God things like That's So Raven on TV for example would not be allowed to be made exactly like it was in today's climate.

And going back to Football, countries can only select from a limited pool of choices, and for some countries (like Japan for example) where the country doesn't really have much choice other than to pick Asian players.

But I do agree with you Redway 100% with this post.

A few more white and we might have won the penalty shoot out. Let’s be real.

It’s a pity this thread had to be made by the person it was made by but bait or no bait he has a point this particular time around.

Is there a full clip of this instead of a cherry picked 20 seconds?? sounds like it was leading in to a segment regarding the matter rather than an off the cuff remark...

i don't see how any further context is necessary in this case. She made an observation. If i said there are 2 pigeons on my roof, what further context is needed to explain the occurrence

the context would explain why she was on the topic but not the observation made and made as a criticism as if racism was wholly responsible

whatever the context, the bottom line is she said the words ......'too white'

some people seem quite happy to have double standards though

She never said "too white" at all, she said the team was all white.
