I think it would be more racist, if you didn't want, for instance - a black player playing for England [iregardless[/i of his nationality.

Its looks like you're struggling with the English language as well. What are you trying to say?

So i'm racist because i want to ENGLISH players representing ENGLAND.

Do you even know what racism means?? I have many friends from other backgrounds, so in what way am i racist you utter fool. I find it incredibly infuriating the way people like you throw the race card around. You have no idea what racism, suggest you speak to someone who has generally suffered racist abuse and see the difference. Am i racist for wanting my country to win the four nations and smash the Aussies? Suppose everyones racist supporting their country at sporting events. Can't leave the other nations out can we. Are the RFL racist too for having an overseas quotea, afterall, an Aussie RL player who wants to work in this country can't do so because of the quota.

I support England, not a super league dream team made up of Aussies & Kiwis. Fans want England to win (that are full of Aussie & Kiwis) i just don't understand to be honest.

Well that would certainly make it a clear cut case. But racism is racism, no matter what form it takes.

Not too sure what your point is here? Are you saying, because it seems to be less racist, it's OK?

i couldn't be less bothered about this if you paid me.

If you are going on what I have written, not necessarily. Stop trying to make yourself into a victim, in order to give you an excuse to whinge like feck

No it's just not racist in anyway shape or form.

Are you speaking for yourself or everyone?

Given what proof?

And surely racism is more along the lines of not wanting (for e.g.) Michael Lawrence to play for England? Quick someone write an essay in the Wembley match programme: Postmodern relativism and the construct of nation and identity.

I'm saying it is understandable (and not strictly that "bad"icon_wink.gif that someone may take the view that inclusiveness to the degree of pandering to someone's subjective identity should overturn what is empirical about where someone is actually from.

Certainly not anything I've seen on here.

Tbh were all kind of just hitting the same arguments again

Personally at least I just think it's embarrasing that after all talk of franchise system to develop and bring through British youth through academy to international (a few lads are ready now) that we've still gone asking numerous players to switch main allegiance for us.

While taking an idealistic view, yes. That view could be held for may reasons, including racism. I have never said that any poster on here has taken a racist view. This is something the brainless on here have failed to see, for some reason. Probably because they just want a little rant, maybe.
