I'd go as far to say that reading Vaughan's lawyer bang on with his questions, it does feel like even in a legal case about inherent racism, the line of questioning feels very much part of that culture. Trying to represent a player not having a problem with years of abuse, or not reacting angrily, meaning he was ok with it.... of course, if you were treated as an outsider because of who you are, you are very unlikely to speak out for fear of being punished. I find it extremely worrying that whoever is over-seeing this trial has allowed Vaughan's lawyer to continually misrepresent how this issues pan out in reality uncontested. Reading the live feed, I get the feeling its Rafiq in the dock, and not Vaughan and the others.
And to be fair, I dont really care what Rafiq thought. Players patrolling the dressing room calling Asian people "k.....rs" is objectively wrong, and demonstrates the exact toxic culture that has been suggested.
