      @ams1897 3 місяці тому

      Not in particular reference to your comment, but doesn`t anyone find it odd how Cole Palmer and Ross Barkley are described as being "of Caribbean / Nigerian descent"? It`s almost like other aspects of their heritage are being ignored. It should really be, "has Nigerian ancestry" as it`s otherwise like applying the one drop rule. Same with comments about Harry Kane, "yeah, your mam might be English and you might be born in England, but actually your Irish ancestry from your dad is more important". Odd.. people are mixed, but the cherry picking of specific genes is just weird. Also, let`s be honest, culture is the defining characteristic, otherwise you open the door to racists.
