The chant doesn't refer to running with the ball does it? It just refers to running.

When did I say Algeria isn't an African country? Are you making things up because you've been caught in your own web of shiiiit? Because you can't admit it's a racist a chant?

Ok, will need some education here...

how does this song differ from the other racist chants about other countries?

I mean,

English to the Swedish 'you're sh111t, but yer birds are fit'

the German bombers song?

I raised something on the Leeds thread a while ago.. we have an Italian player... "he eats spaghetti, drinks Moretti, his c8cks f8cking massiiiiiive"... that song is racist on a couple of levels... 1. we're insinuating all Italians eat spegetti etc, and 2. we're insinuating that because he's a black lad, he has a massive c8ck. the press/media never mentioned anything about the Italian part.

isn't the meaning racist 'to discriminate against another race' right?.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Not sure if you're being deliberately obtuse, or you're REALLY this thick, but a song claiming that French players have Nigerian fathers and Cameroonian mothers and born in Angola, but their passport says French is really just saying that all those French players of African heritage (which is most of the team) are basically fake French people. It's pretty clearly racially derogatory. Many of you seem to want the only definition of racism to be a guy wearing a KKK costume with swastikas and screaming "nigg@, nigg@, nigg@"".
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Isn't it mocking France for giving up on French players and relying on players of African heritage instead?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Are you for real?This has to be satire and nobody is this stupid. So French players of African players coming through the French system - all born or raised in France since childhood and French nationals - means that the France has given up on French players? Please define "French players" for us - let's understand where you're coming from.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Im guessing they mean those players with African parents.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

You didn't answer what I asked. When you say they're "mocking France for giving up on French players", please what's your definition of "French players"?

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

My definition, in football terms, would people born and raised in France, to at least one French parent, so without qualification for other nations.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

So a player born and raised in France does not count as a "French footballer" by your definition. So let's say he's hypothetically born to an Ivorian dad and Algerian mum in Paris and grew up in France, what nationality would you ascribe to this footballer?

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

I was asked to differentiate between what I considered French players, and French players with African heritage.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

No. My question (clearly visible in this trail of comments) asked for your definition of "French player". Which was a result of your claiming the Argentine players were mocking France for giving up on French players (because we all know a bunch of chanting, sneering young South American men are intellectually invested in the welfare of French people). So I asked you for your definition of "French players". And you've given me your definition. So I'm asking what you would call a French national born and raised in Paris to Ivorian and Algerian parents. What nationality would you ascribe to this player?

No, I'm asking your definition
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There isn't a single definition, that's why I want to know which one you're applying when talking about Africans. Is it merely 'born in Africa', or is it the perceived racial category that is sometimes referred to as Black and others as African?

I havent referred.to Africans..

My position is this.

A lot of the French players have African parents, or background. The Argies, given their nationalistic pride, are mocking the French for selecting so many players.of African heritage in pursuit of success.

I personal think it is a crude generalisation, rather than outright racism.

Many of those players will have friends and teammates who are from such a background.

Something's wrong with the way you think around these matters. The French select players on merit, not this nonsense you're spouting. How did you reach this conclusion?

It's pretty obvious. I was hoping you'd see sense after a bit of socratic dialogue. But you've stubbornly clung to the idea that a chant of:

'Listen, spread the word, they play in France, but they are all from Angola, they are going to run well, they like to sleep with trans people, their mum is Nigerian, their dad is Cameroonian, but on the passport it says: French'...

...is inclusive of Zidane. You know what the issue is, you're just refusing to accept it.

I don't know whether this distinction you're making when you use the terms "African parents" or "African heritage" considers those people African on the basis of their place of birth or on the perceived 'race' or skin colour.

Here:

"A lot of the French players have African parents, or background. The Argies, given their nationalistic pride, are mocking the French for selecting so many players.of African heritage in pursuit of success.

I personal think it is a crude generalisation, rather than outright racism.

Many of those players will have friends and teammates who are from such a background."

I don't know whether this distinction you're making when you use the terms "African parents" or "African heritage" considers those people African on the basis of their place of birth or on the perceived 'race' or skin colour.

Its based on their heritage.

He's trying to subliminally stress that French players and French players of foreign origins is not the same thing.

The chant doesn't refer to running with the ball does it? It just refers to running.

When did I say Algeria isn't an African country? Are you making things up because you've been caught in your own web of shiiiit? Because you can't admit it's a racist a chant?

Why are you ruling Zidane out of who they mean then?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It's pretty obvious. I was hoping you'd see sense after a bit of socratic dialogue. But you've stubbornly clung to the idea that a chant of:

'Listen, spread the word, they play in France, but they are all from Angola, they are going to run well, they like to sleep with trans people, their mum is Nigerian, their dad is Cameroonian, but on the passport it says: French'...

...is inclusive of Zidane. You know what the issue is, you're just refusing to accept it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Say what the issue is?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Why? You clearly already know it.

Then, according to the most commonly accepted anthropological theories, we're all African. Unless you can give me a better definition of when we cease to have African heritage?
