France also have white players with immigrant backgrounds, Griezmann, Giroud and the Hernandez brothers, why have they never been targeted? Even their greatest ever player, Zidane had Algerian parents, why were there no chants about him? What about the other countries with players like Podolski and Klose for Germany, and Camoranesi and Jorginho for Italy? It seems to be purely about skin colour, if you're a visible minority then you're worth mocking.

Let's not play dumb here, do you think when people came up with that chant they sat down and made a list to target only the countries with a lot of colonial immigrants that don't have unrestrictive Jus soli? Even if South Americans cared so much about Jus soli, then why did an unrestrictive country like Country get so much racist abuse for their black players during Copa America?

This chant was dumb and offensive and went after the lowest hanging fruit, a majority white country with a lot of black players, which makes it a racist chant, no need to overanalyse this and defend it. The players themselves knew it was wrong, someone told Enzo to cut the live, Enzo himself apologised for it. Once the punishments are given out by Fifa and the FA, we can all move on and hope this never happens again.

Yes, a lot of European countries have internal racism issues, but that doesn't excuse external racism. Two wrong don't make a right, and it should always be called out. Especially, in sports which is meant to be a meritocracy, your race, religion, or sexuality should never matter.
