[QUOTE="GarethGriffiths, post: 869225, member: 75489"] The beginning of the PC-creep into Rugby? Having worked and played sports alongside BAME people (Black And Minority Ethnic) all of them got jobs or played in teams because they were deemed good enough. The colour of their epidermis was never an issue, it was about what qualities and talents they could bring to the table. In fact, I would say that the white and privileged suits behind these plans are themselves very racist - they are essentially saying that we must make it easier for BAME people so we'll lower the standards/criteria. It is little more than outing them as 'Special Needs'which I find disgusting. The best team should be picked because it is the best team - whether that team is all-white, all-BAME or all-Asian (or a mixture of all of these) is not relevant. It is virtue-signalling and also it is mugging the game and its spectators off completely. [/QUOTE]
