Since most U-21 soccer teams look like their Senior team counter parts, I've decided to find out the racial composition of several countries' U-21 squads. I hope this can see if the country's team is changing demographically or staying the same. After all, most of the players on the countries National team played for their U-21 team before. I'll be doing mostly Euro countries. (It's not the best source, but I use Wikipedia for the team rosters.)
Here is Germany's Under-21 team. (A few of the players I counted are already on the Senior team.)
Out of 46 Players. (These are all of the eligable players for the UEFA U-21 Championship.)I counted Ozil and Deniz Naki as white, as Naki also looks like a white Turk.
White-42
Black-3
Other-1
So, as long as Germany doesn't let any "Cacaus" or other passport mercenaries play for them, their team should be nearly all-white for years to come yet. I'm sure most of the whites here are ethnic German too.
Here is "France's" U-21 Team.
Out of 21 players.
White-5
Black-15
Other-1
This team is more despicable than their current National team. Don't expect improvement from France at all soon.
Here is England's U-21 Team. England looks to be following France on the highway to hell. England isn't as bad as France yet, but are going in their direction.
Out of 24 players.
White-11
Black -13
