Just wait until World Cup 2022 where we should expect some more social globalists hot take on the racial configuration of the Asian and African nations teams. Or how about the upper management at The Economist?

The Economist ruffled feathers of social media users and soccer fans alike on Wednesday after calling the Italian soccer team's apparent lack of diversity the most "striking" feature of the squad.
Italy defeated England in the Euro 2020 final on Sunday in penalty kicks to take home the championship trophy. The close match captivated fans, yet The Economist appeared to be more concerned that there were not more players of color on the pitch.

"The most striking aspect of Italy’s 26-man squad before it took to the pitch was that, alone among the main contenders, it did not include a single player considered as being of colour," The Economist tweeted.


"THE EURO 2020 final between Italy and England was striking, not just for the clash of footballing styles in the match itself, but for the socio-political undercurrents that swirled between the two sides and touched on issues that included nationalism, internationalism and racial sensitivity," the Economist wrote in the accompanying piece.

The outlet went on to note the squad received criticism for their "ambivalent" approach to taking a knee as a gesture of opposition to racism and that the sporting event "favored" the country's right wing.
Critics were confused by the outlet's narrative and mocked the premise of the tweet.

"BREAKING: Italian team was comprised entirely of Italians. More at 11," The Daily Caller mocked.

Italy cheated and the refs are pro Italy.

Huh?

You must have watched a different finals than I did. England lost, fair and square. That's the game.

The total population of blacks in Italy (we'll use them as an example as most migrants came from Africa), amount to approximately .20% of Italy's overall population. I said, .20% NOT 20%. That is less than 1% of the population. With that few blacks in Italy, it is absurd to believe that any sports team in Italy should be filled with blacks or any other small minority population for that matter. Most of that less than 1% population are busy being or trying to be, employed in standard jobs. Racists, are always looking at race.

Let's get down to basics: I challenge ANYONE to cite ANY CONTEXT in which "diversity" for the sake of diversity is a demonstrably, or quantitatively "good" thing.

Do you say it would be "better" if the U.S. Olympic basketball team had more white players? Make your case. You are a fool.

Better if 13% of people graduating with EE degrees were Black? Prove it.

Google would be a "better" company if its employees, managers, and board of directors were demographically the same as the U.S. population? Bullshit. Prove it.

Would MS make better software if half of its programmers were women? Don't make me laugh. It is preposterous.

Would the U.S. armed forces be better if we reinstitute the draft and normalized the military population? Ridiculous.

Diversity is a fool's objective, having no value whatsoever in real terms. It was made up by the U.S. Supreme Court when it was pointed out to them that their wet dream of "affirmative action" was a violation of the Constitution.

Fuck diversity, and anyone who pushes it. They are morons, at best.
