I don't have the words for what you are mentioning here. I agree with you 100%... Can't we just be proud of our team and the members of the team who are there because they deserve to be there, irrespective of skin colour?
And as you mentioned, it would even be harmful to the player if chosen by skin colour instead of merit.
I don't know if you can remember the drama a while back between Naas Botha and Willemse on Super Sport due to a remark that was made about "quota players". That incident told a whole story on its own...
I agree this is a destructive ignorant mindset that unfortunately is all too rampant in the current economy and why nothing works. I never saw that incident and can see how damaging this can be.
