[QUOTE="SomeOke, post: 742803, member: 59145"] @Zeke Unfortunately I don't think it's as simple as that. Firstly in order for a white child to go to a good school (and most of the most prestigious, richest schools in SA play rugby, if you google the top 20 most expensive boys schools in I'm pretty sure every one will be rugby focused) you basically just have to be born. Where as a black child born to a poor family (and make no mistake black people are statistically poorer than white people in SA, by a very large margin) will have to do so much more to go to one of those rugby schools. There is no reason why the "black race" should prefer soccer to rugby, honestly being black is just melanin in the skin. We are all part of the human race, there is nothing inherently "white" about rugby other than the its relationship with wealth. [/QUOTE]
