Firstly, I take offense to your use of the term "white man"

Secondly, I take offense to the title of this thread. I myself am a Native Australian, having been borned and raised here. All of my family are Native Australians, as are guys like Nathan Hindmarsh, Luke Burt, Eric Grothe and so on. Actually, I would say 80% of the NRL are Native Australians.

Lovely isn't it, how these terms can be hijacked when used in conjunction with a minorty? Imagine if I compiled a team of Caucasian Australians to take on the "black man".

This thread is down right racist, and it is disgusting.
