BENGALURU (Reuters) - Racism in sport and society cannot be removed merely by a few campaigns as it is entrenched the world over, former Mali and Sevilla forward Frederic Kanoute said on Wednesday, adding he would nevertheless help Spain's La Liga fight the menace.

Speaking to reporters from London, the 42-year-old said he hoped the Black Lives Matter protests in the United States after the death of George Floyd, a black American man who died after a white police officer knelt on his neck, would be a wake-up call.

"I think it's throughout the society... It will take much more than just a few protests and a few hashtags. It's a long process because we can see it's ingrained in the minds of a lot of people." "I'll support and encourage La Liga to tackle all forms of discrimination and racism, but definitely it's never enough."
