    If there rugby teams are called the All Blacks, why is that not classified as being racist?

    It's all context mate. You could call a New Zealander a "Black" no worries, do it to an African. You could get stoned to death.

    Our police service are affectionatly known as black bastards. I would hazard a guess and say that not one out of the whole force are black.

    If someone is black, they are black, nobody thinks that is racist, it is when you put the word bastard after it, it then becomes racist, its all about context
