Raheem Sterling accuses media of ‘fuelling racism’ after alleged abuse
The England international screen-grabbed a story that had appeared on MailOnline last January about his club-mate, Tosin Adarabioyo, under the headline: ‘Young Manchester City footballer, 20, on £25,000 a week splashes out on mansion on market for £2.25m despite having never started a Premier League match’. He went on to reference another story from October about City’s teenage midfielder, Phil Foden, buying a house which had carried the headline: ‘Foden buys new £2m home for his mum’.
This absolutely nails the issue.
The white guy is presented as doing an honourable thing. The black guy is shown as being in a materialist cocoon.
And yet they both bought houses for their mothers.
There is a long way to go.
