Lol, I gave you an agree but I just took it back because I'd misread this bit. A member of an oppressed racial minority can be a lot of things but they can't be racist. Whites though are the socially economically and politically dominant race and for that reason I wouldn't defend a white player making a racist joke.
I wasn't even going to bother to comment on this issue but you'd be so disappointed that I withdrew my 'agree' I thought I had to explain why, sorry @Ned!

Ummm,
Anyone can be racist, no matter their colour, religion or level of oppression.
Massive storm in a teacup issue overall, but your comment is just plain incorrect.
Might be best to ask a black woman if she's offended and my guess is she probably will be pretty pissed off.
The pecking order in society tends to go:
White man
White woman
Black man
Black woman
For the purposes of this, I'm leaving out colour variations.
So what you have here is the third rung ****ting on the fourth rung.
Extremely poor behaviour imho.
Sorry to offend.
*Edit - since posting this I've had a look at some of the reaction from Aboriginal women on twitter and this has hurt them deeply.
It breaks my heart that they not only have to cop rubbish from ignorant whites but also some of their own.
There are plenty of jokes to be made without actually hurting people. Engage your brains kids.

A member of an oppressed racial minority can't be racist? Why not? How would you describe this story?
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/...ive-attack-court-met-0211-20170210-story.html
Were the attackers what you would describe as being members of an overall oppressed racial minority? What was there motive for this attack?

Can we all just stop drawing the racist card?
The leftists use the term basically as an insult. It can be used against anyone who doesn’t agree with their opinions on race.
People on the right are just as bad for using the same strategy when they say that if you think minorities deserve special treatment, then you are the racist.
This is all crap because it does nothing but hinder mature debate about these difficult subjects as it turns useful concepts into emotionally charged words and makes it harder for people to express nuanced opinions.
To defeat discrimination you have to develop your own ethics and empathy levels, stop labelling others and work on yourself.

@mozgrame, are you bipolar?! I've just mopped up after wetting myself all over the floor at several of your earlier comments - and now this mature, well written, insightful piece!
I don't know @Vyssini some of the calls that are going to go his way on Saturday will be interesting to say the least. I can think of two Manly fans that will be there that would give him a massive spray if he gets within 10 metres of the Manly bay.

Athletes reject it (ahhh, bull****)
Governor's correct it
Gangsters, punks, and smugglers
Are thoroughly respected
The money gets divided
The women get excited
Now I'm broke and it's no joke
It's hard as hell to fight it - don't buy it
Yeah that's going to be hard to sweep under the carpet.

The guy is a tool and don't find him funny at all.
To have good humour requires intelligence eg. Muhammad Ali.
He should just stick to running 5th man in and leave the funny stuff to someone else
