Master is right.Besides, if the kid has his familly & freinds behind him like that, then its only a good thing. Im sure the paying public see it like that...

Unless there ony there to see him get beat

In this day and age, unfortunately, it doesn't help that they are muslim .... and the British pakistani youth are an easy target for radicalisation by some extremist organisations (because they are poor and disaffected). Pakistanis also retain striong ties with Pakistan, even if they have been in Britain a long time (like the Chinese do with China), they stick together and don't integrate well and that seems to be the source of some conflict too.

It's a shame, as I know loys of Pakistanis, but people tend to use stereotypes and generalisations about their entire community - and there are always a few arseholes on both sides to stir up trouble.

It's a shame, as Khan seems like a nice lad, dedicated and talented ... and it's not his fault.
Yeah, its impossible not to mention race. I mean, the poor kid is HAVING to wear union jack trunks...! Which im sure wasnt out of choice and im sure its simply to retain popularity within the mainstream audience.

Its all political really but hey... sign of the times peeps.

He's a good lad. Typical type for his age really. Apart from all the motivation, dedication etc

I dont wish to see him fail by any means. Just realise that the mainstream audience is getting bored of watching him succeding against stiffs.
