They mangled "Johal" to make it read "Jouhl". What's that?

Breaking the Color Bar — How One Man Helped Desegregate Britain’s Pubs (and Fought for an Anti-Racist Future)

Words by David Jesudason

March 16, 2022

Malcolm X is walking down a road in Smethwick, England, called Marshall Street. He wants to witness with his own eyes the racism endured by South Asian immigrant foundry workers, which has seen them banned from buying property along this ordinary stretch of small terraced houses. He wants to visit a pub to see the “color bar” in action—the practice of forcing non-white customers into segregated drinking rooms away from their white colleagues and neighbors. But most of all, he wants to meet the comrades fighting in the same broad anti-racism struggle, more than 3,000 miles away.

He’s seen angry white people before, and he’s used to their brutal resistance to his presence. A group of women are holding a banner, while others are shouting: “We don’t want Malcolm X here!” Despite their attempts, he is able to meet the band of Indian activists who have been protesting against the color bar, using peaceful tactics similar to those employed by the Freedom Riders in the United States earlier in the decade. They fear for his safety—particularly one Sikh man, named Avtar Singh Jouhl—but he refuses their offer of walking with him in convoy. If he is attacked, the press are here and would—hopefully—report the unprovoked violence. He turns to Jouhl and says, ‘‘This is worse than America. This is worse than Harlem.”

Who attacked him, though? His own fans or the opposition?

Not sure which half confused bootha. 

First half. Assault enough Sikhs, especially the Kakkare, risk kissing a Kirpan. 

Second half, as footbal fans we keep suffering abuse, for what? We shouldn't be wearing anyone else's colors and wasting time with that <banned word filter activated>.

So totally random tangent. When it comes spelling football and disambiguation with soccer. We should spell american football, Football, because the two L's are kind of like the goalposts in american football. 

Where as in football, that only americans call soccer. The goal is shaped like an O and some languages already spell it futbol. 

So in my world I think we should all spell american football, football, and soccer footbol if not just futbol.
