[QUOTE="Jaguares, post: 656822, member: 63264"] In Argentina (a country without black population), "blacks" are the indigenous like Kurtley Beale. It's hard to show the difference for a Canadian. The Sumo's photos don't reflect the reality, these are pictures of people from upper middle class. I'll give you an example, if you are watching the FIFA World Cup at the moment, you don't see black people with the Brazil jersey in the stadiums, even though Brazil has a lot of black people. This is because the tickets for the FIFA WC games are very very expensive, which makes it inaccessible to the poorest people. In Argentina we have a significant indigenous population, they are mostly poor regions as San Juan, Catamarca, Jujuy, Formosa, Salta I have even from neighboring countries like Bolivia and Peru. We have many poor immigrants here, especially Bolivians and Peruvians, it's estimated that they are about 2 or 3 million people and all their children are Argentine because we have a weak immigration policy. Anyone from any country can come to Argentina and in only two years becomes Argentine citizen. It's hard to explain to a Canadian or European like you, because you have very strong migratory policies. In some European countries it's impossible to get citizenship of these countries if you don't have European descent. Here in Argentina is very easy to obtain citizenship, any person in any country becomes Argentine citizen in just 2 years. So we have a lot of indigenous people, those people don't look at the Sumo's photos because the photos are of sporting events like the FIFA World Cup or tennis matches, which are very very expensive for poor people. Then, in the same way that you don't see many black people in Brazil games of the FIFA World Cup (because the tickets are very expensive and blacks can't buy it) you won't see the poorest people in the Sumo's pictures. Conrad hates a lot??? You DON'T KNOW ME! Stop talking to me because you don't know me and neither don't know the rugby club CASI that you have in your profile. 1. Alex don't know me and says stupid things about me 2. South Africa has more serious problems than the amount of black players there in their national rugby team. For example they are the world capital of rape. So before worrying about if a black man can become a professional rugby player should be concerned about the education and health of their black population. That's more important than to become a f**king professional rugby player. Rugby is a very expensive sport, international rugby is currently inaccessible to poor people in third world countries such as Argentina, South Africa or Brazil. You need an athlete than 100 kg, who can move like a ballerina, in this sport there are more injuries than any other. Then South Africa should worry about work and education to give its black population, they aren't Norway or Denmark. So worry about the amount of black rugby players in their national rugby team when there are many blacks who are starving in their own country, it's stupid. For the Soweto's Children you have to give them education, health, food, adequate housing and other more important things than turning them in f**king professional rugby players. [/QUOTE]
