19 players out of the 22 that played for France in the WC were born in France.
None of the remaining 3 moved to France later than their 10th birthday or so, meaning that they weren't granted the French nationality in the sole purpose of having them playing for the French team. As opposed to players like Camoranesi (Italy), or Pernia (Spain), guys who were born and raised as Argentinians but were granted a new passeport very recently. Or Deco, a Brazilian playing for Portugal.
The guys who played for France are French. Meanwhile, a few other countries were very lenient in the passport department. Live with it.
Now, I won't spend too much time debating about your statement's being racist or not. As much as I think it is (denying somebody's nationality because of his race sounds pretty much racist to me), I assume there are plenty of rhetorical objections to make.
On the other hand, there is no way on earth to deny its being a display of pure ignorance and overwhelming stupidity. Congrats for that. It was the perfect thread for you to post in, anyway.
