Racism makes monkey of 'gentleman's game' : Comments

By Irfan Yusuf, published 11/1/2008

Cricket worship: over the past week or so, Aussies have learned an important lesson in Indian religion.

Kenny,

I don't want ANYONE living in this liberal democracy or any other liberal democracy who is a racist, a trouble maker, and most of all, a selfish, isolated, ethnocentric freak. This is what Irfan is.

I'm sure you would want to deal with the KKK if they suddenly started popping up everywhere, yes, but, just the white racist groups. The coloured racist groups are not really racist to your type, are they? Animals can't be evil when they kill, can they?

I am angry at anyone who doesn't see ALL of mankind as equals, which means being truly fair and having true empathy for other peoples. My position is a true cosmopolitan where ALL are equal individuals, not clusters of big herds, where each group is "guilted" into being a certain style of human. This is racist.

It has been my experience, as is evidenced by our massive migration programs and multicutlaral policies,that those cultures that come from the North-West European region are closer to this ideal than other cultures.

I make no apology for this, and if you do, you apologize for Nazis. Worse than that, though, because you don't see them as Nazis it means that you think of them as animals, as animals cannot be evil or responsible for the harm they cause in any way, can they?

Try being an individual Kenny and you just might break through all that "Orwellian" brainwashing you got from your herd.

White Warlock,don't be so angry.It is too late .We are witnessing the end of the European culture.It happened to the Egyptians,Romans,Greeks and now us.China and India will now be the new world powers by the fact of their sheer numbers.India will win all arguments in cricket by virtue of their power.With over pop and Globalisation,the world will become a nastier place and pampered Europeans will be even less inclined to breed.Enjoy the moment.

You seem to think the economic rise of China and India are going to occur without cost.

Both countries are now net importers of food. Guess why? That's right their industrialisation is destroying their productive agricultural land. No not by taking it over but because of the endemic polution and increasing lack of water.

Yep the west has been through this and has or is introducing controls on emmissions and attempting to decrease the reliance on oil.

Neither China nor India are doing that. In fact India has just produced a motor vehicle for it's masses that has no polution controls and which will increase demand for oil. And neither China nor India will be immune from peak oil.

Sorry to disappoint but while those countries might not be bought to task for their abuses of human rights and racism simply economic factors will return them to their previous poverty. The brief hiatus of their adoption of some westernisms has come far to late to see any long term benefit to their peoples ... or their world domination.

Arjay ... take your own advice.

Keith,when push comes to shove,China and India will not be told what to do or be contained.As you have said,there is a new instablity brewing due to fuel/food shortages.Neither of these countries will adhere to pollution controls in their quest for power.China has lots of low grade coal and a 30yr access to our abundant gas reserves.If both of these countries has an abundance of cheap labor,then they can afford the cost of energy.

If parity pricing of energy continues with no other cheap alternatives available,then living standards for ordinary
folk must fall.With the influence of multi-nationals there will be a greater disparity between the rich and poor,particularly with totalitarian regimes like China,Islam and Russia.
The good times are over,since cheap energy underpins the affluence of all people on this planet.Did someone mention contraception in poor countries?Now that is not politically correct,is it?

The only wrong doing in the Melbourne test was by Harbajan. He is, additionally, a coward for not beng racist towards the 10 fully white Australians, as opposed to the approximately 75% white Australian.

The white race may(may not?) be superior to others, but Harbajan and the crowd in India that taunt Symonds are COWARDS.

Umpires that are dumb should be sacked.

Ponting is a bit smart but a great captain and batsman.

Bradman didn't like blacks and so many of our 'sporting stars' have illustrated how inept they are on issues of race.

In the post Olympic of 2000 it was sickening to hear white Australian's go on and on about Cathy Freeman - as though their sudden pride for a black women vindicated them and proved their non- racist ideals were rock solid. What hypocrites!

Symonds was used by Ponting in his whatever it takes approach to winning.

And anyway, I think cricket should be banned, its boring and its time we admited that this game was invented for blokes who could not play contact sports. And Golf was invented for those who could not play cricket.
