    Well, it’s not strange because right now, at this moment, there isn’t a person of colour on this team.

    If you are good you will be always welcomed in any team. Not sure why they use colour card for everything

    Surprised the mods have left this up as a similar post was deleted or locked about this a few days ago.

    At the end of the day the Daily Mail is writing this article to bait there racist fanbase.

    I honestly don’t care about the race of our players but I do think that Jonas is doing the Ten Hag thing of buying players he is familiar with (Scandinavian) and I think we are not capitalising on talent elsewhere in Europe and in South America.

    People should hired because of their skills, not their skin color, races etc. Current arsenal women team is good enough.

      I agree with the former sentence but not the latter. Crashing out of the CL was very disappointing.

    We don’t necessarily went for white women players to be on the team. They are there because of the quality they bring as a player. Many of them are from different nations and brings diversity to the team. If anyone thinks not having a black person in the team brings lack of diversity to the team is the real racist. Anyone with these mentality is the real racist and racism doesn’t end with black vs white if you shits want clickbaits you can also include our womens team have no asians.

    It’s important to remember that this isn’t about us as a club. It’s easy to forget when this picture keeps doing the rounds, but it’s about the English scene as a whole. There is a general under representation, and most of the serious talk (ignoring trolls and idiots) about this addresses academy pathways and how the sport is currently very middle class - mainly because the middle class can afford to drive their children 100 miles each way to the academy that hones their talent.

    And anyone who does try to make it about us a club just needs to look at the Emirates. Rachel Yankey is right there on the walls, a genuine legend of the game.

    Since when players are signed based on the colour of their skin rather then skill… would it be racist to dismiss white player over any other colour just because we want the team to look diverse on the picture?

    It’s like when people complain that no black actors won an Oscar, maybe the white actors were better and the decision was based on performance rather than skin colour? Also fuck the Daily Mail with their clickbait bullshit.

    I’m sure all the black players in the men’s team is good enough to balance the lack of black players in the women’s team.

    At the end of the day, you sign players that will improve the team without looking at color or race. It just so happens they’re all white

    the womens team is 7th so it’s not like having an all white team has made them good, in fact it’s made them worse

      Lol and people in here who have zero clue about the team talking about building through “merit”. Since when is it hard to understand that having such a narrow scope for recruitment might mean you are limiting how successful a football club can be?

        they couldn’t name 5 of our players if they tried, so many of arsenal women’s legends are woc as well like it’s objectively strange

    Storm in a teacup, bloody strange. And that’s coming from someone who hates you for taking one of our best players (united fan)
