You could never quantify it but

Would be interesting to be able to gauge the number of football fans who are now less racist than before because of the impact of black/Asian/south american footballers.

There are different types/levels of racism and in my view in areas such as Norfolk amongst older generations quite a lot of the comments you hear are a result of the fact that there simply were not many black people about until relatively recently. Even when I was growing up in the 80,s it was pretty rare to come across black people in Norwich.

Completely different now and I can't see many of the younger generation of Norwich fans having the same attitude, especially when they have black heroes on the pitch such as Tettey, Bassong and Jackson
