He didn't say it. He said people say it. Big difference.
However, he was pretty racist when he was talking about how alot of parents think it's dangerous to put their "Aussie" kids up against the "Islander" kids.
Just what the hell does he reckon the "Islander" Kids are? Indonesian?
Fatty, despite the way he acts, is in fact a very smart person. Either no one has bothered to brief him how to not talk like a closet racist, or he simply doesn't pay attention.
Yeah,fair point - But how is one going to act when you say that to someone?
It was a pretty dumb question.
Yeah I agree with you there,but that question annoyed me also and smacked of racism.
As Matty said,there has always been big kids in sports,what are the parents supposed to do? Stop their kid playing the sport because they're too big?
The question basically had no room for an interesting discussion in the answer - Instead Fatty could have said "Sonny Bill,how do you feel about young Polynesian kids playing football,some of these kids are quite big,do you think parents should be intimidated by that factor?"
I know Fatty would never say that,but to me the whole show is let down because Fatty(and sometimes Chief) do not ask the question properly and pretty much have answered their own question.
