Do you think that New Zealands Rugby team name “All Blacks” is a bit racialist?
Firstly, New Zealand’s national colour is black. 9like australia’s is yellow and englands is white) Secondly, the name ‘All Blacks’ came from the old saying that the New Zealand rugby team use to be nicknamed the ‘All backs’ referring to the fact that the whole team was so fast that it was like they were playing a full team of backs. (if you know the positions in rugby then this would make sense as you have foward and back in the team). It just changed over the years (probabily through people misunderstanding the fact people were saying ‘back’ instead of ‘black’, and because the national colour is black then people thought that ‘All Blacks’ would be a great name for the rugby team!. p.s. rugby in new zealand is like baseball and NFL in america and like soccer in europe. IT’S HUGH!!!
