....... and "she" wins by a street............ not one other athlete goes to congratulate her - she looks like a man, runs like a man...... can't wait for the post-race interview........... she'll probably need to shave first.

Very dodgy..........

Presently racism in reverse - most definately in the job market.
In sport the Rugby & Cricket sides on quotas but the Footy team have a token white guy in there Boon or something is his name.
My dislike of the bokker is mainly due to my working with them & our(England/B&I Lions)inability to beat them - therefore I've had serious slaggings from them.All be it they do cheat at the drop of a hat,but don't like it pointed out.
