Really? I honestly have no idea what Luther is actually calling
for here. Mixed race south Africans to get lifetime bans from
english rugby stadia after racial abuse? OK. Little bit niche
tho?
How this is in any way connected to azeem rafiq I'm not sure.
Sounds like Luther wants to drag rugby through the wringer,
which seems a little bit of an overreaction considering the
circumstances.
I certainly agree with him that Rugby is too much a sport for
the elites, but race is a massive red herring. It's certainly
not in any way a sport in which minorities are under
represented, here or anywhere else.

What does hip hop have to do with anything? Are you suggesting
that all black people like hip hop and use that language?

So Ugo should just get over himself because the bloke was mixed
race and might like hip hop?

Rugby is a sport in which certain minorities are
underrepresented, but no-one seems to care about them. I'm not
sure why really - it has never made much sense to me. Some
minorities are probably proportionately represented

I do listen to a little hip-hop tbf and what has language used
in a hip-hop song got to to with this? It's like you are trying
to argue mitigation because the alleged perpetrator wasn't
white.

I can't recall the last time a hip hop person was charged with
an offence for using the term that Ugo has reported being used.
Do you know?

I've always found it bizarre that a word is rarely considered
offensive unless a white person uses it 🤔
What are your thoughts on that?

Surely that is irrelevant to the current situation.
That would be like charging the actor Bruno Ganz for war-crimes
because he played the role of Adolf Hitler in Downfall.
What happens in the Arts is not the same as an actual event.
