People really don't want to be called racist/associated with racists


This has nothing to do with American politics, but in Bulgaria. After a soccer match had to be stopped twice because the Bulgarian fans were shouting/chanting racist things, the Bulgarian team (at least some members) after the game is still claiming ignorance.


Bulgaria manager Krasimir Balakov insisted he didn't hear the abuse and doubled down on his prematch claims that racism is not a problem in Bulgaria.

"It's a very delicate subject," said former midfielder Balakov, who said England has a bigger racism problem than his own country.

"I do not think there is a single person in Bulgaria who would say that racism is something pleasant. But at the same time, it is very strange how this topic is interpreted in football. I have heard absolutely nothing [during the game]."


It's interesting psycologically that it is so hard to process that people who support you can be racist, but sometimes that's the way it is. For some of the Bulgarians to not understand the facts in front of them is interesting. The mind is an interesting thing.
