How are they promoting racial discrimination ?

Are they denying European descended players the right to play RL ?

Are they denying European descended settlers the right to express their cultural identity ?

Are they basing selections on colour of skin ?

The answer to all the above is No .

All those players are expressing their cultural identity and are still available to play in the Australian / NZ National teams SoO etc.

I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you just misunderstand what those teams are all about and what they represent.

Do having womens and men’s teams promote sexual discrimination ?

Huddersfield Giants 2014 under achievers ??????????

Don't think I said they are promoting it but they certainly are discriminating on race, you cannot deny that surely?

Are there teams that are denying indigenous peoples to play rl? So they form their own teams.

Is the only outlet to display their cultural identity a game of rugby that was born on another continent? If it was a traditional sport that they invented i would kind of get it but there is no logic to that argument.

Fair enough. I think a complicated world sometimes demands more nuanced attitudes but I accept your argument is internally consistent.

It has at least made me think. When you flag an ambition for integration, it raises questions in my mind about diversity with equality… which in turn makes me think, somewhat uncomfortably, about the old Separate but Equal legal doctrine in the US. As I say, it is complicated.






'Thus I am tormented by my curiosity and humbled by my ignorance.' from History of an Old Bramin, The New York Mirror (A Weekly Journal Devoted to Literature and the Fine Arts), February 16th 1833.

So, real Australians and New Zealanders?

Isn't everyone that is born in those countries regardless of race?
