Quote: Tre Cool "They are not as bad, and they are not the same thing. You need to educate yourself. Aussies/English/Yorkshiremen are all the same race of people and are treated equally in every way by society. Homophobia and racism have nothing to do with these groups of people insulting each other.'"
No idea what definition of "race" the RFL works to, but the legal definition of race definitely covers national origin. If you sack someone for being Australian, call them a "pommie idiot" at work, refuse service because they are Irish etc you could sued for race discrimination and you would lose. Consistency would seem to me to require an insult based on nationality to be treated in the same way as any other, but as I say, no idea what the RFL rules say on this. You're right about different counties though.
