Taranaki's shame
Blimmin' idiots. You'd think that of all the places in New Zealand, Taranaki - with its bloody history of inter-racial violence and hatred - would have learnt a little bit of tolerance and acceptance by now. If the local associations aren't going to act, I suggest that it is time New Zealand Cricket stepped in.

as an Asian, I found the sledge of calling Zaheer Abbas a'terrorist' pretty funny. The way it was said has a lot to do with it, but if it was said light-heartedly then I don't see a problem. i love the way the word terrorist is in "quotes". whats up with that.
You are dead right - the way things are said is as important as the content of what is said.
But I would say that if Abbasi's complaint went to a disciplinary tribunal (which the article implies) then the sledge would not have been said in a light-hearted way.
