If you want a critical assessment of the racism references in your earlier statements. Firstly, I never discussed race, but I'd say you've used inclusive language and grossly generalised your private and personal experiences of racism and applied them to the wider community.
You know as well as any the entourages are not monocultural, I never stated that they were monocultural, which is specifically why I used the term entourage. In fact the supporter base is mutlicultural, it's the media that narrowly focuses on and reports some specific subset usually because a small segment have a specific flag or uniform that makes a great picture!
The assertion that Djoko isn't supported here because of a race thing is rubbish, as rubbish as Williams claiming her lack of support is due to skin color and not her abhorent behavior.
Djoko's probably not supported here for multiple reasons, highly likely because culturally Australia barracks for the underdog, nothing more nothing less, Djoko hardly fits the bill! Why isn't he liked like Federer, I expect the answer truly lies in their different behaviors on court rather than where they were born or who their parents were!
Undoubtedly there is a small percentage of the supporter base who are racist, just like football, but that doesn't excuse the use of inclusive language. You even must accept that in the case of those hating Balkans heritage players it may well be a percentage are culturally indoctrinated EU expatriates! Hardly a case for use of globally inclusive language!
