[QUOTE="Bradskii, post: 77602222, member: 412388"] A player for the team I support was banned for 8 games this week for saying to an opposing player 'xxxx off, monkey' (the game was played in Las Vegas actually as a means to 'spread the word' about rugby league to the US). The opposing player's background is 'Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander descent.' Clear racism, you'd think. But the player banned is Samoan. And his defence was that casual slurs were common amongst players of diverse ethnic backgrounds. To be honest, I thought the player on the saving end was Tongan. Which made me think - can someone from Samoa racially villify someone from Tonga? I assumed it would be the same as two black guys referring to each other using the N word. Like me calling another white guy 'Whitey'. [/QUOTE]
