The reason racism rears its ugly head time and time again is because dumb people focus on a race as having certain ''problems'' i.e. ''they're laidback and unprepared for AFL life''. This generalisation is a very damaging one xman, if you cant see this then you're a lost cause. But I think you do because I notice you seem to be learning and that you've now used the term remote communities compared with cities in terms of lifestyle rather than race. 10 points to you xman.
Saying someone has a laid back lifestyle or outlook is not an insult in any way. In fact compared to the uptight demeanor many demonstrate in city life it's probably a complement. But changing from one to the other can be a challenge, especially when you throw media attention and the pressures of elite professional sport in. Rendells heart was in the right place and he was poorly treated in my opinion. Compare his comment to an NRL SOO coach if you want to see real racism.
