Must not call a black, black??



From Australia:

"Cronulla [football] captain Paul Gallen landed himself and his club in an ugly racism row last night after an altercation with St George Illawarra prop Mickey Paea [pic above].

An aggrieved Paea went after Gallen in the 73rd minute with stunning accusations picked up on the Fox Sports microphones. Paea confronted Gallen after a tackle and was heard to say, "he called me a black ... he's a racist''.

And even when the two referees, Tony Des La Heras and Jason Robinson, tried to separate the players, Paea continued to rage at the Sharks captain. He added: "Don't ever say that again''.

Dragons skipper Ben Hornby and Paea approached the referees, with Hornby clearly saying "he wants to make a complaint''. But when the whistle-blowers pressed the matter, Paea decided not to go on with it.

OK. I'll put my anthropologist's hat on: Technically Paea is a Melanesian but few people would even have heard that word. There are some VERY black Melanesians. They are one of the two major races of the Pacific islands. The other race are the Polynesians, who look like large Japanese, VERY large, often. The Polynesians originated from S.E. Asia or Taiwan. The Melanesians originated in New Guinea.
