    I'd consider them both as black personally mate, certainly more black than white. Or is it only Black-African players that Zenit don't want to sign, like M'Vila? :rolleyes:

    Disgraceful that Russia got the World Cup, could you imagine if Russia ended up playing one of the African teams?

    To be black you have to be ethnically African that's kind of what black means.

    you can consider them black if you want but their DNA doesn't lie. Neither are of African or Afro-Caribbean descent so they are definitely not black. They are darker skinned than Northern Europeans skinned but ethnically European, therefore white.

    The best way to go about this is for UEFA to pressure Zenit to ban this Fan group, UEFA can't do anything legally so its up to the club itself

    Alves and Hulk are from Brazil though. Like so many in Brazil, they most likely have black blood in them, probably native and white too.

    He was born in Portugal, that's right. I was mistaking him with another player.

    Although at least one of Bruno Alves parents is Brazilian though. He holds both passports.

    So Indians or Pakistanis, for example, aren't black?
    Black means the colour of your skin. Not some other bullshit spin on things. Alves is most certainly 'black'. Not that it even matters a jot.

    The fans are scumbags over in Russia. They sent a fake bomb for Hulk, because Denisov and Kerzakhov were punished for questioning his wages. throwing bananas on the park against Anzhi a good few games. Did Roberto Carlos not walk off because of it?

    Nothing will change for 2018, there will be riots in Russia for that world cup.

    I consider Hulk and Alves to be black based simply on their skin colour, I'm sure most people would too. I'm pretty sure as well that racists don't ask a black person for a sample of their DNA so they can have it tested before they call them a n****r just to make sure they're right. :rolleyes:

    I don't know his backstory so I can't really comment but from looking at him Alves looks white or mixed race. Imo the definition of black is being of majority African descent so I would say Alves wouldn't qualify.

    Had a Sevco fan I know saying this was basically the same as Athletic Bilbao because they both are discriminating against people with their signing policy.

    Bilbao's a different case though, they aren't singling out anybody specific, which to me is not discrimination.

    Zenit fans only wanting straight, white men playing for them? Discrimination.
