Am I Racist?

[Erik Mesoy]

There's a fine line between culture and race, and another fine(r?) line over what sort of derogatory-but-friendly statements you can make.
There are racists who demand free speech, and there are tongue-in-cheekers being called racists by the Politically Correct Gestapo.
Big differences. Not much more to say.

You are certainly unaware of the conditions of our football schools. Only rich kids that pay for expensive classes get that; most kids learn to play practising in horrible, horrible conditions.

Thanks for the explanation, I really had no idea, just that Brazil is always awesome in football. And I figured it wasn't genetic.

It's why I love these forums - even if I have no idea about something, someone here probably lives in a place or has some way of knowing the facts to set us straight. I can read books and magazines, but short of visiting every place in the world, this is the next best thing. Thanks!
