[QUOTE="FlukeArtist, post: 532615, member: 42995"] Henineken, I think you need to reel it in a bit now, because you are making sweeping generalisations in a self-serving attempt to support your point of view. I think there are a lot of NZers of PI descent who would strongly disagree with you regarding YOUR perception that they are PIs that play for NZ. My friends included. They are Fijians and Samoans who I ( from a Welsh immigrant family) came up through school with. They speak in the same NZ accent as I do, and have had the same opportunities I have coming up through the NZ public school system. Ditto goes for your view that all SA's that immigrate are racist. I met plently of Saffas whilst working in Australia and didn't hear one racist comment from any of them. "Non Nzers will always see NZ as poaching the pacific islands" Well- that just shows your ignorance. You obviously have little grasp of NZ society, and more specifically Auckland and it's mutliculturalism. So let me get this straight; it's OK for white people to play for NZ, but NOT PIs? Why? most white families in NZ have only been here 4 generations max. What makes it OK for a person of English descent, but not for a person of Samoan descent? Mate- your views are ignorant at best - offensive at worst. In fact, your posts probably reflect YOUR views on race more than anything else. [/QUOTE]
