749301 2009-02-19 07:18:00 What's fuss about the South Africans saying the Maori ABs are racially selected? It's a fact, isn't it? I have no Maori blood, so I would not qualify.

Even that jerk John Minto has come out denying it. But then, he's renowned for arguing black is white.

Umm. Not sure about this at all.
I joined Maori Golf in NZ back in the late 1970's

Later I was driving buses for NZR and the Union wanted me to go on strike to not transport the springboks. I did not agree.

During the years of my life I have learned a few things.

Recently I have visited a few PressF1 Members and changed my thoughts as a result.

Have you qualified for the All Blacks at all regardless of your race or ethnic background?

749303 2009-02-19 08:01:00 What a stink there was in the 80s when South Africa sent a racially selected team. Not okay for them, but okay for us, it seems. Talk about double standards!:horrified

There should be no selection on racial grounds - for football teams, for schools or anything else you can think of - but, unfortunately, in this country that is not the case.:illogical

I do not worry too much about the fact that the government makes it easier for some members of the community, to receive benefits, than others. I have never been able to qualify for any benefits, but I am reasonably happy to pay my taxes. But I do believe that the system should not give preferential treatment to any able-bodied person because of their ethnicity or any other reason.

This country rallied against South Africa for that very reason, but it still happens in New Zealand.:mad:

Imagine the complaints if we had a white rugby team....

Imagine the surprise if there was a white in our national rugby team or is there

Does that count?

I wonder whether the All Whites are all white.
