Destroys opposition :lol:

He has down absolutely NOTHING for 3 years, and we the most undeserving NSW selection this year.

The fact he is even in selection talks for the all stars game is a joke, there are literally dozens of more deserving players than he.

Tahu has been handed every rep honour this sport has on a silver platter all because of who he played with, so he has no right to whinge about what is fair and whats not when it comes to selections

I've always wondered why white people claim to be aboriginal.

If a guy is say 7/8 Caucasian, how does that make him an aboriginal ?


He is still part Aboriginal...

I'm 1/4 Maori because my one of my four grand parents (grandfather on my mother's side) is full blooded Maori.

The rest of my grand parents are Scottish.

Do I indentify as Maori? yes. Do I identify as Scottish? yes.


Daley looks to be 1/4 aboriginal and a bit of mederteranian in there too... he would identify with his other heritage as well i'm sure.

we are the some of more than one part.


In terms of proving it... you have to provide evidence to the government by having showing your family history etc for benefits etc.

I thought he was a Jewish Arab.

BTW,if a person is 7/8 Aboriginal and 1/8 white,does he claim to be white?

I thought it was funny the first time i heard that Luke Walsh sees himself as aboriginal, but apparently he is passionate about it, so good luck to him.

nope, cos you cant get as many benefits as a white fella.

(note: i am part aboriginal and have never and never will claim benefits because of it.)

Yeah, I've never understood this. Players with very little "Aboriginal blood" claiming to be Aboriginal

It is how you identify. If you identify as an aboriginal, you are aboriginal. It does not work in 8ths 5ths 16ths etc.. If you are, you are. If I met you and you told me who you are.. who am i to question it?

Its a reactionary thing.

Often people like to define themselves against the majority.

There's no kudos to be gained by being just another white footballer. Or anything else in society. This is not necessarily an act of rebellion, though it is in a lot of cases. More generally - by claiming membership of a niche group, you have established a separate and distinct identity for yourself.

Even if the facts of your lineage speak in the opposite direction.

Tahu is such a nice person.

The bloke has had more undeserved rep jerseys than just about anyone over the past decade and he still wants to complain.

Seriously, anyone who needs to play the minority card to excuse their lack of achievement in this day and age are kidding themselves.

NSW selectors are size-ist, not racist

This.

The top line says it all.
One day, when Tahu retires, that will be the title of his autobiography.

BTW.
These statements are generally f**king stupid.

Can you imagine if a player came out with the statement "Barry Bloggs: 100% pure anglo saxon and damn proud of it".
The sh*t would hit the fan, then that pulped up sh*t would land on another fan, then that double pulped sh*t would land on the floor, then Fein would roll around in it for a bit while he twists his own nipples, then some merkin would need to clean it up.

Double standards.

I agree, I thought we were all Australians.

Is there an Aboriginal Passport??
