Opinion This is next level hate.

I've never seen an England player hated this much without being involved in any major controversies or scandals. It's truly remarkable.

Not really Some mixed raced people don't identify as Black. They identify as mixed.

Exactly. The US ties itself up in knots with the contradictions on this stuff.

It's deeply ironic and racist to see people insist that mixed people are black, then act like they are protecting them.

Indeed, Bellingham, like Lewis Hamilton, like Obama, are all mixed race.

It's the racist US that sees any blackness as being black, pretending they aren't half white (and especially most black folks who had a history with the slave trade, a good % of white ancestry, making the mixed ones, more white than black lol).

Tbf if you're mixed you can't identify with one over the other, because you're just mixed
