The Spanish have an extremely large amount of racists though, like most European countries have.
Whilst you don't agree the Spanish are racist, I would expect that most of Morrocco, the moderator Mazza, the black English footballers and Samuel Eto'o would disagree. As would Thierry Henry and Jose Reyes.

It's perhaps all too easy to see fault in others before your own. I might well suffer from it myself. But I wouldn't be the only one.
All I'm saying is that all who claim Spain has a significantly bigger problem of racism than Britain should take another look at home.
Well, then they'd be hypocrites, seeing as they bloody start them.
But I won't start on that.
I think what happened with the Reyes incident sums up the two countries, and I don't think you can deny it. Hoddle was sacked for being offensive about disabled people, whereas the Spanish coach can call Henry some quite vile names and not even get a slap on the wrist.
It isn't that there is racism, it is how it is treated. If huge sections of a British football crowd started throwing bananas now, that stadium would be closed down. The same cannot be said in Spain, or any other European nation with the exception of Germany.
Britain isn't a wonderful shiny fluffy country, but it is trying to be. Spain cannot say the same, IMHO.

Thank God for the house of Lords and their power and will to veto New Labour's sinister legislation.
