Fair enough
Discrimation always goes on in UK, race, gender, class, location. I just don't think its an issue in this case though. In UK its seems to have become a bit overstated, the PC brigade gone a bit mad. Interestly I think it will become a bigger problem a couple of years down track as immigration has gone a little mad in the UK over the past couple of years with the expansion of the EU and the mumerings have already started.
With all due respect "the mumerings" as you term it are nothing new...there was similar rumbling following the end of WWII when Britain saw mass migration from the colonies...similar talk of immigrants coming to take British jobs and change the culture and what not. Of course there was little alternative but to accept these full-fledged British citizens into the country...now there's greater flexibility in screening out the "huddled masses" as the inscription on our Statue of Liberty calls them.
With Ince, while I respect your opinion that this isn't the case here...I have to ask, to what benefit would it be for Ince to superficially and indiscriminately raise the spectre of racism? Certainly if he comes to be seen as a rabble-rouser prone to crying wolf (as you apparently already see him) then if anything that would hinder his managerial chances, don't you think? I think Ince is a bit more sophisticated than that than to sabotage his budding career by "playing the race card".
In the end I suspect we may have to agree to disagree.

I don't actually think we are disagreeing really, we both know it goes on and always will. I don't think I was being overly sensitive to what he was infering, there is a radio show 606 sports show and it was even discussed on the programmeas the interview was on BBC sports programme. He certainly wasn't saber rattling / shouting from the rooftops as I said is was an inference that the reason he hasn't got a higher profile job or there is any other black managers.
Its an issue the country is very sensitive to, so I couldn't understand why he inferred it. The only reason I could see myself was that he wanted a bigger job, quicker.
The reason why I responded again is not that I was disagreeing with you, it was more a converstaional thread than trying to justify an off the cuff comment, no more no less, I have obviously not prtrayed that in the text.
