So Spencer Leniu called Ezra Mam a monkey allegedly. Well it's been called a racial slur by the NRL, does that mean a white player can't call another white player whitey? or two black players can't call each other the N word?
I'm pretty sure in pop culture if two african guys call each other the N word it's perfectly acceptable. I know Spencer and Ezra are not of the eaxct same race, but would they not both be counted as black individuals?
Or do Pacific Islanders get counted as something other than black? What about Cook Islanders? which Islander does and where is the boundary of being black? or do we have to bring out the tint meter?
I think it is setting a dangerous precedent if they charge Spencer with a racial slur.
Or do they ban the word monkey from being used against anyone? I remember me and my mates would slur each other with that word non racially, why now has it become such a bad thing to say?
Or is it just if a black man gets offended that it is a slur regardless of the actual word spoken? then how black does the man have to be? again dangerous precedents are being invoked here, again do we bring out the tint meter?
Just some thoughts on the matter.
It's classed as a racial slur.....
Adam Goodes from the Sydney Swans was called a monkey by a spectator and he called them out for it...
Do a youtube search over the concenquences that occurred as a result
It's unacceptable and should be left out of any conversations period
