I don't think we'll see it with Asian lads tbh just because they most that I see are playing cricket.

Yes but similar would be said about black people 20 years ago. Once another generation or two come through and the Indian/Pakistani folk living in the UK are British born and bred, it should even out a bit more.

There are entire Asian football teams in and around Birmingham. I don't know if they were designed for that but anyway that's the case. They are crap, but that's mostly because their father figures preferred cricket or whatever.

you from birmingham busby?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Lived in Harborne for around a year when I was in my early twenties.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ah nice area
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah it was alright, near to the centre and has loads of pubs.

Where abouts to you live?

I was always told to avoid sparkbrook.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I live around Kings Heath so not too far from sparkbrook which is a hell hole really.

But I also live near moseley village which has lots of pubs so not all bad but I am seeing big changes around where I live

I'd like to have the answer before I can make a fair assessment of the situation. As it stands, the data is flawed without proper content. But I'm not that bothered that I am going to start looking through the list of coaching roles for every team.

Are you going to look for the answer? You obviously feel strongly about the issue.

Nah the 19 outr of 471 qualfied is enough for me tbh.

Well then you are happy to make an assessment without complete data.

Seems proportionate to me.

Pretty much. I'd be extremely surprised if there were more than 10% foreign born coaches working in the football league.

I think the important question here is: do we really want the likes of Barnes, Ince and Campbell managing in the Premier League?

Should there be? It's an English country...

What I would bet on, though, is that our football league has more foreign coaches working in it than any other of the major ones, and that it has more coaches that are not white, with in it.

They call that sort of bet 'buying money' VC.

The UK is a far more tolerant country than most around the world. Very tolerant of other races and religions. It does have its problems but imo its leading the way in terms of equality.

Indeed Mr C

The UK is light years ahead of the USA, for starters.

Clickbait article.

Agreed. It's the people migrating here who are intolerant.

Of course.

"So if someone owned and built up a taxi business and told his employees that he didn't want them picking up someone of a certain ethnicity, is that ok?"

^No. It is wrong. Although, If I owed a taxi firm I would advise them against picking up groups of white lads - fare jumpers the lot of em!

Come on, we know that he writes things in such a way that it can be interpreted in two ways to get some kind of reaction. He loves a bit of controversy does French.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I dunno what you're implying...

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, so explain to me the difference between the two.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

One is choosing to work with people you want to work for your business based on race. The other is refusing a service to someone because of race. There's a difference. It might be a subtle one, but it's pretty obvious to me.
