Is it fair to say Black British people haven't achieved much in Britain comparatively to our US (unfair as they've been black communities in the US much longer), Canada or even in European countries such as France or Holland or are Idris Elba and Jamal Edwards all we can muster as examples? WOW
There is a big difference between being a fan of someone and them being your role model
My son will know the difference
A role model is a person whose behavior, example, or success is or can be emulated by others, especially by younger people. The term "role model" is credited to sociologist Robert K. Merton, who coined the phrase during his career. Merton hypothesized that individuals compare themselves with reference groups of people who occupy the social role to which the individual aspires.An example being the way fans (oftentimes youth) will idolize and imitate professional athletes or entertainment artists.

What is your point
In your own words please
There is little difference when your a child between being a fan and them being a role model. Infact probably none. You lot have been kids before right?!
If my child was a fan of Theo Walcott I'd be aware he is going to use him as a role model or be a fan of what he does, and I am fine with that, as he sees Theo Walcott 3 times a week kicking ball for 90 minutes his behaviour good or bad isn't going to affect my upbringing of him and distort the morals I'd have put in him every day.
I don't know why you lot are so caught up/being pedantic on this - role model phrase.

But you can't compare blacks to asians for so many reasons.
But especially a wifey, as this is a race where they are still arranging marriages ffs.
