    I've noticed a lot of hatred towards a certain nationality.

    Is this because they smell? Are paedophiles? Or is there some sort of deep down hatred of cheats and scumbags that emerges when talking about them?

    No, but generalising a whole nationality based on the actions of one man and his hand is racist.

    I have to say i am now, and its because certain people get special treatment.
    Which only creates animosity.
    Its like anyting in life, travellers are protected from the law, they play the racism card and equality card even though if you let them into your pub they'll tear it apart stick by stick.
    Dont get me started on the french

    Please don't judge all Irish people by my example (how did you get the camera into my bedroom)!

    Some are racist, others though are just stubborn and stupid and think they can do what they want despite being told that they can't.

    It's not racist, it's xenophobic.

    The anger i've seen has been directed mostly directly at Thierry Henry and/or the French team - not the people of France. Which is ridiculous considering Henry has admitted what happened - it's the referee people should be angry with :rolleyes:
