Especially on sports betting we see some racism happening and this happened in most of the league that are popular of which so many persons bet on. It bothers me to ask, that imagine you placed a bet and somehow you have 80% assurance that it would come out successful. And on the process of waiting for the game to end there was some racism manipulation in the game which made you lost the game. It could be football or other sports cause its mostly found in sports.
Next time would you choose to not bet on a particular game because you feel the members of the VAR, or the referee are racist, and you are sure that there would be some manipulation?
Maybe i live in the bubble when i haven't even heard about referees being racists ever, but i guess that's a possibility, as why would referees live outside of that issue. But i have to wonder that how would that be combatted against, apart from racism awareness. Because referees make mistakes all the time in nordic countries, and because we have been traditionally white, no one has even thought about racism. So proving that some referee's actions were racist, would either be hard to prove and most likely matter of confirmation bias, or statistically obvious racism.
And now teams can be multiracial mixes of every ethnicity, so referees would need to be against individual players, and people would notice that even easier.
Being a referee is sort of honor system and if someone was suspected of playing favors or being against someone, they wouldn't work much as referees in the future. Not at least in here.
As a white man, it's quite hard to see that, as we aren't wired to notice continuous unequality towards others. When it's suddle enough.
