Excuse me?

Watching cricket with white folk, (bar some Aussies) is not akin to watching it with passion filled Asians or Trinidadians.

MEGA generalization right there...

Then watch it in Calcutta or Port au Spain. Believe it or not England is not an Asian or West Indian country :rolleyes:

If I am studying here, I still need my cricket fix. No?

Trinidad is a happy mix of Black, White and Asians- all of us root for the WI.

To clarify, if I liked soccer, I'd watch it with ya'll. You guys get rowdy over that. But I dont see that passion for cricket here.

It is about atmosphere, not race.

Then watch it with English people if you need you fix, because you aren't going to find many Indian and West Indian cricket fans hanging around Exeter city centre or Princess Hay. I'm sorry but I can't help but find what you're saying racist.

I'm going to come to England and take advantage of their good education system but I don't want to associate with English people. Oh no they can't watch cricket (which they invented) properly. No I want to hang out with non English people and automatically assume they will be in Exeter or whatever reason, despite the fact it's a very English city in England.

This is a huge generalization. I do and will continue to hang with English/white folks. Now when boxing is on, if I cant find Mexicans or African Americans, I'll find some Irish people. They are always rowdy. But you must accept that we have more passion for cricket.

I had a Pakistani friend as an undergrad who used to go crazy during a game. Praying before every ball. I dont see that passion for anything but soccer here. And btw, I am paying big money to study here you know. I am subsidizing you.

This is the preferable watching crowd list by sport:

Boxing: Mexican, Black, Irish, other white.
Cricket, WI, Asian, white
Soccer: White
Snooker: white
Basketball: Black
Dominoes: Black

See? No racism. Just by-sport preference.

You're not subsidising me because I don't go to Exeter University. Furthermore your little ranking of what races to watch what sports with is incredibly racist. Have fun in Exeter, I hope you don't stay when you finish your degree.
