You're not wrong, BUT. They only like Kante cause he's doesn't speak much, aka:
"He's one of the good ones"
"He's harmless"
Nah, can't agree with this.
Kante is a brilliant footballer, one who most rational football fans rate despite their allegiances.
He has a fairly unique story, played lower league football well into his 20s, helped propel Leicester to a league title etc. All those memes about water covering 70% of the earth and Kante the rest etc have nothing to do with race, but more about his ability. Significantly more people admire Kante for what he does on the football pitch than those that like his personality, or that he once drove a Mini.
Just this week I read a lot of praise and support for Mark Noble after pictures emerged of him sweeping the away dressing room in Lyon. That's something he apparently always does because he doesn't want the cleaners having to come back to a total mess. Kante has never done something like that but is somehow the posterboy of docile footballers because he smiles
Supporting Pogba but in the same breath demeaning another black player is some weird shyt.
