I have no doubt the term “you lot” was used in all sorts of scenarios at that time

For one thing Rafiq has admitted that he himself used it when referring to non Asian players.

Hoggard has admitted using it in relation to just about every group you can imagine (youth players, South Africans, Asian players etc).

It’s really about context and intent isn’t it.
