No, Popeye was just trying to sound like a know it all claiming immigrants arent welcome in Germany.
No, it's you
wishing I would say something that stupid and interpreting it as such.
Mate, I will
never be as stupid as you, so don't even
think about putting your words in my mouth.
Immigrants cop a hard time everywhere - even in Germany, which I've admitted, is a very liberal place.
But
in Germany, white people are indigenous (unlike here) so
in Germany when racist white people (which is
not all of them, are we clear on that you f**king braindead voice of social consciousness?) are giving immigrants a hard time they come out with s**t like Twizzle served up, saying that aboriginals have more right to be here than anyone else
because they were here first just like white people were in Germany before anyone else.
Do you understand?
He'd be better off taking note of what happens in our own country before throwing stones at others.
You're a f**king idiot.
I used Germany as an example because white people were there first and
just like in Australia they have racists.
The difference, as I've tried to punch into you over and over and over again, is that in germany, the racists who say "We were here first" are white.
But in Australia the racists who can truly claim to have been here first are
black.
In neither case does being somewhere first give an ethnic group more right to be somewhere.
But thats not why Pete started this thread, so I'd rather talk about footballers who have polynesian heritage, tbh.
Polys have incredible power and athletic ability.
An upside of thyeir contribution to rugby league is that the game is faster, more powerful and a better spectacle now than it ever was.
A downside is that wherever there are non-Polynesian kids growing up in the same neighbourhoods as Polys, many of the non-Polys (aboriginals, Anglos, Italians, Greeks, lebanese, etc) are dropping out of footy long before they can play senior football because the difference in size and strength between Polynesians and everyone else is much more pronounced in kids footy than in seniors. This has a lot to do with the fact that Islanders reach physical maturity much sooner than kids with a European/Middle-Eastern background, and the non-Poly kids get sick of getting smashed every weekend.
Once they hit their late teens, non-Polynesian kids start to catch up to their Poly mates in terms of size and strength and become competitive again. But by this stage many of them have already quit footy years ago.
I read an article on this once and it was pretty interesting. It basically called for the reintroduction of weight categories for junior footy.
People never take responsibility for their own choices and choices that may make there life better off.
