Message: [QUOTE="Huge, post: 2641328, member: 1992"] I kind of get it that it's based on race.....I actually state that in my second sentence! No matter....aboriginal people are traditionally black, in all its different shades ! Identifying as aboriginal is one thing as it's what you feel comfortable doing but physical properties cannot be argued with.I was actually told that you don't have to have any aboriginal blood to 'identify' as aboriginal.I think there should be a cutoff ,a percentage that makes you aboriginal. A child with no aboriginal blood raised in an aboriginal home could theoretically be aboriginal even though it's only upbringing that makes that child qualify. If if all it takes to be aboriginal is claiming you are ,it must hurt the aboriginal cause. When you are 95% from other races you can claim you are any one of the dozen races that make up your DNA or genetic background. I suppose I could represent Africa seeing as my heritage ,like all others is 'out of Africa' and I can simply claim to be African. Anyway, that is a healthy debate or discussion for another time. Back on the main topic, I know the game is supposed to celebrate our first Australians but I think it's just a shambles with clubs loathe to risk players and the only benefit is some cash for the administration and perhaps some cash if the game is held in a regional area.
