no it did not, that is misinformation

It stated: Britain is a model for race relations and inequality between different ethnic groups may be caused by other factors.

The report concludes that while Britain is not a “post-racial society”, the success of ethnic minorities in education and the economy should be a “beacon” for other white-majority countries.

However, the Commission also makes clear that it does not believe Britain is a “a post-racial society” and that “overt and outright racism persists in the UK”, in particular online.

…well we’re not looking like a ‘model to the world’ now in terms of this racism against our football team and trying to divert glances elsewhere to avoid addressing it…the first step is to acknowledge it and stop looking around us at other countries and their contribution to what is here…because that’s what it is…it’s contributing to something that’s an issue right here that needs addressing …as has been stated, this won’t be the first time, or the second time or the third time that some football players have had racism directed at them…it’s a ‘daily basis’ thing in the football world …and that’s what needs to be looked at…the racism within our own society which exists ‘on a daily basis’ and in all of those ares that it’s become an issue like this…
