Well, the thing is that France used to have many colonies once upon a time, so African countries were a part of France. The French language was made official in those countries, so the black people who moved to Europe went to France first and foremost. If an African country belonged to France, it technically is France. And when children of the black people who moved to Europe were born in France, how could they be anything other than French? All that's left as a counter-argument is to be a racist.

You can also look at this situation from another angle. If black people are so bad, then European countries shouldn't have brought African countries under their government. This means that the root cause for having so many black people in Europe is Europe itself. It means that what you don't like is the fault of white people. But I don't think when you say "this is just wrong" that you are putting any blame on white people.

You are of course right about the colonies, but the problem is when you encourage allowing foreign born players instead of trying to restrict it.

And of course it's the fault of white people. It's wrong and it's the white Europeans who are doing it wrong.

So you think Marcel Desailly that went to France when he was 3 years old shouldn't have played for France? You want them to create second class citizens?
