Russian Racism?

What do you make of Dutch football manager Dick Advocaat's revelation that he won't sign black players for the Russian team he manages, Zenit St. Petersburg, because the fans would object? That's some pretty large-scale racism. It's notable already that while this has received some coverage - some of it in-depth - it hasn't received the kind of wide-scale coverage you might expect. That's probably cos it's Russian. As we well-educated, balanced souls over here know, it's only Britain and America that are the true racist nations.
