You must be drunk, I didn't insult the haka at all, in fact I asked if it should be protected from cultural appropriation by the New Zealand national team.kentaddick said:ITT: White people getting angry and dropping C bombs after being called out.
You then started being racist and didn't like it when you were called a bad name.
Honest question - when was I being racist?

Here's the quote:
The time had been, when this burst of enthusiasm would have been cheered to the very echo; but now, the deputation received it with chilling coldness. The general impression seemed to be, that as an explanation of Mr. Gregsbury’s political conduct, it did not enter quite enough into detail; and one gentleman in the rear did not scruple to remark aloud, that, for his purpose, it savoured rather too much of a 'gammon' tendency.The meaning of that term—gammon,' said Mr. Gregsbury, 'is unknown to me. If it means that I grow a little too fervid, or perhaps even hyperbolical, in extolling my native land, I admit the full justice of the remark. I am proud of this free and happy country. My form dilates, my eye glistens, my breast heaves, my heart swells, my bosom burns, when I call to mind her greatness and her glory.

Couldn't agree more.When the Crystal Palace was built as part of the Great Exhibition in 1851 it was revered by all who saw it.
Now the same phrase induces an overwhelming sense of disgust, so much so that it is truly vomit inducing.

It's also a means of determining which of their opponents are brave, respectful warriors and which are trembling cowards. Turning your back on it would help make that decision far easier.golfaddick said:If I was an opponent I would just turn my back on it. It's supposed to intimidatary......cant intimidate if you dont take any notice of it.
Doesnt make you a trembling coward if you turn your back......just tells them that it's a waste of time & an inconsequence.1 -
