Prediction: correct Tuivasa   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 1  

It's true, yeah. I guess Americans aren't as used to seeing pacific islanders as much as we are down under. Grew up with a lot of them playing rugby league and mostly all the tongans/samoans are built like brick ****houses. Not lean and often a bit flabby but they are as strong as oxes and felt like granite benches when I had to tackle them.

Bam Bam is part Koorie too I believe.

That is just lazy casual racism. There are plenty of pacific islander athletes who are in shape.

Wasn't trying to be racist or to get into a thing. Just talking from experience.

I wasn't trying to say you don't get islanders who aren't in 'shape'...as I say, I used to play league with them routinely, and although short/stocky they still had cardio for days. The eye test isn't really a good indicator or conditioning, especially when you're talking about Islanders.

I saw one that wasn't a bit chubby once.  He was 6 foot 7 and musta been pushing 100kgs.  How's that for casual racism?

Nothing racist about it. Many of them are just bigger physically. For Tuvalu has the biggest percentage of overweight people and not all of that is diet.

Australia.  You can easily identify it on the Map, it's the big one.

Australia is. I thought people were saying he was from some of the islands around there.

'OK sure he's a bit flabby but all them islander boys are.' No, they are not. That is casual racism. An assumption on physical appearance based on race. I knew what you were saying, ImperatorFishrat knew what you were saying, you knew what you were saying. Don't make it a big deal or involve rappinpapsoda who understands nuance like Drax the Destroyer. Who is in great shape so can't be a pacific islander.

You are hilarious.  I wonder what you would say if I said something like, "All the islanders I work with have great senses of humor" Is that casual racism?  You clearly are not because of the stick up ya butt.  Do you get tired being offended for other people all day or are you just generally unpleasant?

He's half samoan, half koori ( Indigenous/ Aboriginal) rappin. Hence the Carrying out of the Aboriginal flag tonight.

@Zulizani and Huiop532

No, that wouldn't be racist because I don't know the guys you work with! They may well all do! If you said every pacific islander has a good sense of humour that would be exactly the same as saying every pacific islander is flabby. A statement that isn't true. Doesn't make it offensive! I'm not offended, Tuivasa wouldn't be, I don't think anyone would be. As I thought the very amicable exchange between myself and Fishrat showed. I score ******** points for the unnecessary dig at rappinpapsoda, I'll hold my hands up to that. 

If you want to continue being offended because you think I'm offended then I won't be offended at that. Good day gents, I have a stick to remove from my butt.
