"Oh i see, so every time i refer to a race i am 'racist'"
That's what youthink is happeneing?
No, it's when you talk about a race as if everyone in that race thinks or behaves the same;
It's also when you say that white is "the best", implicitly stating that all other races are inferior;
When you are clearly ignorant of the facts relating to racial conversations, but expect your opinions to hold equal weight to thoseof people who are better-informed;
When you characterise entire races as being irrational, unreasonable and / or childish.
As I've said before, there are plenty of people on here that have discussed ethnicity and racism on here, who I have never suggested were racist, as they discuss those issues without doing any of those things.
But I imagine you will continue not to get it. Keep playing the martyr, if it makes you feel better. -

I think that this is the wrong place to discuss this as we are talking about a military award nothing to do with football and there must be thousands of soldiers yes including soldiers of colour who deserved military medals and didn't get one. And the question I would ask is are all the records are going to be researched and all those deserving going to be awarded medals I seriously doubt it and I doubt that you would sign a petition to do so, Therefore this should be left alone and consigned to history
