I read an interview with Assou-Ekotto

Born and grew up in France, plays for Cameroon. He said that, in contrast with their "rainbow nation" team of 98, a lot of those of foreign heritage in France don't feel French or welcome in France despite spending their whole lives there. Then there's Desailly doing his Ghana thing.

Complicated business, this nationality s**t.
