As I live in England going to post a reply to this.
Racism in Spain is still bad and a hell of a lot worse then in England. In fact England has came so far in terms of racism over the last 30 years that it is probably the least racist country I have visited or been to (and i'm not just being biased). In the 80's we got alot of Carribean influence to the country and it was probably the best thing to happen in terms of advancing race relations here. I'm not saying there is no racism here anymore as unfortunately there is, but it is getting better all the time. Spain still has huge race problems and I have seen it on many occasions (I used to visit Spain nearly every year).
In regards to the football stadiums, the 70's and 80's were terrible in England for racism. Some clubs like Everton had to do a hell of a lot to move away from that once the 90's hit and going forward today. My dad said he used to see Banana's get thrown when he went to away games as a United fan. You would never ever see that now here.
So my conclusion is England is nowhere near Spain in terms of racism anymore.
It’s funny you mention OT because a family friend of mine is prominent Dr. & was traveling thru England, Spain, & Belgium taking part in some symposiums & also participating in clinical trials for some type of cancer.
While they were traveling, they took in matches at Madrid, Chelsea, & OT... his colleague whose of Nigerian decent got called a wog at OT & my family friend got called a *** bastard... What’s a wog?
There will always be exceptions as I said unfortunately racism isn't dead but having been a season ticket holder I have never experienced any racism or even seen any. Bare in mind I go to games with 3 people of black Egyptian descent and I am of English \ Yemeni descent. The racism my dad encountered was at away games not at OT. He has never had any problems at OT either. It's sad to hear they recieved that kind of abuse.
Whats a wog?
You genuinely don't know or being ironic?
No I genuinely don't know & didn't feel like googling...
@blackmomo, I can't defend pep for the handling of busi's situation. I'm sorry I didn't mention that. Did you need me to itemize every single instance? You clearly have an ax to grind. Let me know if you want that itemization.
Europe is racist AF in general but shout out to all the people of color over there maintaining regardless.
Sure is. No denying that. I'm not letting them hold me back or stop me though. Most of them are cowards who can't understand the world doesn't revolve around them.US is too... it’s never been more apparent then now...
I'll be in Europe in two weeks and I'm brown so I'll report back to y'all

You all set? whats your plans?

Pretty much. I'll be checking out 3 cities - Manchester, London and Amsterdam
In Manchester, I will be going to the OT for a stadium tour, Football Museum. I will also catch my first Prem match in London - Spurs vs. West Brom. In Amsterdam, I plan to get stoopid high, check out the museums, ride the bikes over there and check out the red light district. In short, Man's gonna live
If you have any places you recommend checking out let me know
Sounds like a great trip. How long you in the places? If there is anything in particular in London or Manchester you are looking for let me know
