You said: David Odonkor - Ghanaian father, German mother. This technically makes him a mulatto therefore, in any "racially aware" white's book, he's black. Im not budging on this one. Ryan Gigg's father was black. So does that make Ryan Giggs black?! Hes a lot more white than black!

<div>accesscrimea - ha, ha, I was waiting for You or someone else to bring up the example of Ryan Giggs. Giggs' father is an African-Welsh mulatto and his mother is Welsh, so that technically makes him "one quarter" black - which in Rebajlo's strict book
 means that, despite his appearance, he isn't white. He may look white enough, but he still has African background, has often complained about racist abuse that he suffered as a kid, and is therefore, in all probability, very sympathetic to blacks and would be appalled at the views presented by our good selves here at Caste Football. Here's a photo of a young Giggs' with his father:</div>

<div>I recall watching an F.A. Cup Final (I believe that it was the 1996 match in which United beat Liverpool) during which the black commentator and then recently-retired "footballer" (and all-round prize idiot) John Fashanu kept proudly bleating that "you've gotta rememba tha' Ryan Giggs' fava is black, his fava's an African, ho, ho, ho". If Giggs had looked more like his father (and that could well have been the case - phenotypes can be fickle), then You would not have used him as an example, although his "pedigree" would have been exactly the same. His black genes, however, are still lurking beneath the surface and "African" features may pop up in his grandchildren - I certainly wouldn't wish the likes of Giggs to marry my sister or daughter (that's if I actually had a sister or a daughter
). I know that this sounds very brutal, but society should draw a strict line - such an attitude would discourage the growth of the so-called "mixed race" demographic and simultaneously help to preserve Whites as a distinct race.</div>

Kevin Kuranyi was the only player without fully-white DNA (German-Brazilian father and Panamanian mother).

<div>Thrashen - Kuranyi was born in Brazil to a father of German/Hungarian descent (the surname is an instant giveaway) who was himself born in Hungary. Kuranyi was also eligible to play for Brazil, Hungary and Panama - a thoroughly ridiculous situation. In all honesty, his German connections were rather  tenuous - he only moved to Germany when he was something like fifteen years of age. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>That's the problem with the lax rules regarding so-called "eligibility" - all manner of potential permutations arise. In the late 1990s, Germany "naturalised" and used the likes of another Brazilian with distant German ancestry, Paulo Rink, and the half-German Swiss Oliver Neuville. Rink's grandfather or great-grandfather (I cannot quite recall which) had emigrated to Brazil and the player signed for Bayer Leverkusen in his early twenties. Despite the fact that he is white (although one never knows with Brazilians
), it's ultimately the principle that matters.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>These "eligibility through grandparents" and "living in a country for x amount of years" criteria are rubbish. In the early 1980s, the Republic of Ireland began scrounging around for British-born players of Irish descent. This resulted in the likes of English-born part-Italian Tony Cascarino being selected for Ireland due to his supposedly Irish grandfather. It was later revealed that his mother had been adopted so he did not, in fact, have any Irish blood at all. Ray Houghton was born in Scotland, yet played for Ireland due to having an Irish father. Both of these men never played club football in the Republic. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>On a related note, infamous Watford-born testicle-grabbing hardman Vinnie Jones made several appearances for Wales, qualifying through his grandfather. This lowered the meaning of representing one's country and people to shameful absurdity - Jones had previously taken to posing in an Ireland shirt and was running his mouth about how Irish he felt when he believed that he was eligible for the Republic.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Poland have expedited the granting of citizenship to the loathesome Nigerian Emmanuel Olisadebe and the equally undesirable Brazilian Roger Guerreiro in order to rush them into the national side. Needless to say, when these creatures took to the field I actually
wanted Poland to lose (not that Poland needs much encouragement in that department...
). More recently, Poland have naturalised and capped a French midfielder, Ludovic Obraniak, on the basis of his Polish grandfather. This is utter farce - the guy is technically only one quarter Polish, doesn't speak the language and, prior to flying in to join the squad, had never even set foot in the country. What the hell is he doing in a Poland shirt?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Then we have the case of the Croatian internationals Josip Simunic, Anthony Seric, and Joe Didulica. Despite being born in Australia, these scrotes opted to represent Croatia. Their parents migrated here and were given a chance of the proverbial "better life", yet their children turned their back on the country (the garlic-breathed parents were doubtlessly gushing with pride). To top things off, Simunic and Seric were both beneficiaries of
taxpayer-funded scholarships to the Australian Institute of Sport. That's gratitude - and, sadly, these clowns are white...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Just to finish off this rant, Ill mention Tim Cahill. Let's just say that I'm less than happy that Australia's key striker is half-Samoan. Cahill actually played for Samoa at under-20 level - that is common knowledge in Australia, but what's not so well advertised is that Cahill had also previously wished to play for Ireland, a nation he was eligible to represent through his paternal grandfather. Nice, isn't it?</div>
