tbh, I read the story and found it pretty funny, but he should be punished. If in Traore's shoes and I found out he tried to impersonate me, I'd probably just laugh, as there's no way he'd get away with it
wonder what the truth is. if he truly never claimed to be traore, I wonder how the rumor started about.
damn Internet. :d

Maybe from the old racist jokes that all Africans are lookalikes?

lol, I think it was some Milan related twitter account, but can't be sure.
Either way, this whole thing, while stupid is pretty minor, so the player should be punished as necessary (legal action that's required and a fine from the club) and then everyone should move on.

the stereotype is that:
all Asians look alike in the eyes of non-Asians;
all Africans look alike in the eyes of non-Africans;
all Caucasians look alike in the eyes of non-Caucasians;
and so on.

Very true now that you mention it:d
RE: M'Baye Niang - Gio-mania - 09-13-2012
From what I've understood he said the car was Traoré's, not that he was Traoré. The whole incident is hilarious but obviously punishment is in order, as it technically is a serious offence (especially if the identity theft part is true). But he is just a kid so we can't really expect him to act with the maturity of an adult. There really isn't anything to worry about, unless the behaviour is repeated and he turns out to be a Balotelli or Cassano like case.
As for the "stereotype", as I caucasian I can confirm that it is true. Heck, caucasians all look pretty similar to me.

If so, we all are racists. That's claimed to be racially motivated stereotype.
