[QUOTE="User1245, post: 980575, member: 40986"] And it finally happened, although it happened in cricket. Below is a post I made a couple of years ago about how quotas could very easily disadvantage coloured players. A similar scenario played out at the Cape Cobras a few weeks ago. [URL]https://www.newindianexpress.com/sport/cricket/2019/oct/29/cricket-south-africa-to-probe-cape-cobras-for-its-failure-to-meet-black-players-quota-against-warrio-2054284.html[/URL] So the Cape Cobras exceeded their "players of colour" quota but missed the extra super special black African quota. And what's their basic reasoning for doing so? Two coloureds = one black... I mean, where do you even start with this? Thank goodness for CSA who is launching "further enquiry" into the validity of their creative race accounting. Got to balance the race books just right you know! Diversity at all costs, but only the government's prescribed version of diversity. Ashwell Prince is most probably running a coloured cabal down in the Cape because remember the only reason for over/under representation is due to institutionalized racism and unconscious bias. /s I have no doubt this has been happening to coloured sportsmen for a while now, and it's only coming to light now because Ashwell went against the status quo. Of course there's no mention of who deserves a spot in the team or the tactical reasons, that's clearly a secondary issue. This will continue happening until this ridiculous system is done away with.
