This rebuilding Juve would destroy chelsea. Nevermind the one we'll have next summer.

Flopres and

Trust Juve fans to destroy a thread by going off on a tangent about how nobody actually reads Italian news and how Juve aren't guilty of anything

Call yourself an inter fan taking the other side on a topic stereo-typing italians and serie A calling them all divers.

:facepalm:

Mess.

I'm not taking the side of anyone who says Italian and Serie A players dive. this is a big myth and we all know it. As if we haven't seen enough Spanish or English players dive

It's hardly an insult.

John Terry was racist.

Drogba is infamous for diving

Anelka threw a fit and caused a mutiny in the french camp.

Out of nowhere you brought up the match fixing scandal. Then you completely failed to jutify anything you said.

Italian is a nationality. Not a race. Hence Keane's insult against Balotelli, while disgraceful and tasteless, does NOT constitute racism.

That's why this thread has been allowed to continue, though I am tempted to give it the lock because of Juve/Chelsea derail.

by VivaStPauli Fri Nov 04, 2011 12:43 am

Also technically this thread isn't racist, Keane is, if Italian was a race.

What I'm saying is, this thread or the posters here don't necessarily endorse that point of view, it's just quoted here.

Even though I technically endorsed it, but TBH I wasn't serious Very Happy

"Racism" and "racial discrimination" are often used to describe discrimination on an ethnic or cultural basis, independent of their somatic (i.e. "racial") differences. According to the United Nations conventions, there is no distinction between the term racial discrimination and ethnicity discrimination.

race2 /reɪs/ Spelled[reys] noun1. a group of persons related by common descent or heredity.

he still lies under the " ethnic or cultural basis" .... as he grew up in italy and was raised by full blooded Italians.

It disgusts me how people call Italians divers. It is such an ignorant thing to say, and it is a generalization based on a race. You are italian, therefore you must dive... then why has Del Piero never dove a single time in his long career?

Why is it that when Italy goes down and earns a penalty, the world cries, but when Malouda dives in the world cup freaking final and earns a penalty, nobody says a thing?

To say people of a certain ethnic group do something because they are apart of that ethnic group, whether it be a positive or negative assumption, is racist. Racism CAN BE hilarious, but not when the offender is serious.

Actually his parents ditched at the age of two, and was adopted by two Italian parents at three years old. Those are his ideal parents and they grew him up, not the other Ghanina Parents. In fact Balotelli doesn't even want to be with them as they only came after him when he achieved fame and glory.

he got his citizenship at 18, because the law doesn't allow anyone to apply for a citizenship until their 18. However he still grew up with culture, tradition, the people and the country. So your point is clearly irrelavent.

My point is fact, he beacme Italian when he was 18... he's been Italian for less than 4 years...

by VivaStPauli Fri Nov 04, 2011 2:09 am

Awww come on don't be a prick, he's been Italian his entire life, he just got the paperwork done 4 years ago. He grew up in Italy, learned football in Italian Academies, learned Italian as his first language, went to an Italian school etc etc - don't be a nitpicking, well, I don't want to use the R-word.

by Lord Awesome Fri Nov 04, 2011 2:20 am

Wasn't he born in Palermo?

That's Italian enough for me.
