[QUOTE="Ospervat, post: 875558, member: 72942"] My broad interpretation is that B_M_G is attempting to show that the target / quota system in the absence of any alternative, is a “fair” way to facilitate transformation despite its flaws however, with all due respect to his opinion this thinking is somewhat naive in as far as the theory always sounds better than the reality. B_M_G contradicts your earlier post that selection is racist by quoting “The SARU, sports minister and arithmetic all state otherwise.” This point alone illustrates the naivety. As any Saffa knows who has lived in SA recently the socio-political reality is very different to the PR tripe being peddled by corrupt officials with their prejudicial agendas and fudged stats. The discrimination issues in SA Rugby are just the tip of the iceberg. Prejudice is rife and has permeated into every aspect of life in SA today and society is growing weary of this. I would remind B_M_G that the definition of apartheid is a policy or system of discrimination on grounds of race. Walk a mile in another mans shoes then you can make an objective call. [/QUOTE]
