They're caste into the same positions as white players yeah, but the Caste System in turn favors them over more qualified white players.

Yes, the MWC has a huge valve on the Poly Pipeline. The Utah schools have their Mormon Poly Pipeline as well. Sad to see so many getting scholarships and playing time over more qualified White in-state players.

The only positions they are stereotyped negatively are the speed and agility positions. Otherwise they get the benefit of the doubt in the power positions.

Idk most of the Poly's I've seen feel morein touch with the ghetto culture than anything else. I'll cheer for Poly's at certain skill positions, but they are over represented on both sides of the line!

Be careful what you wish for wr People from the pacific islands are naturally very strong and athletic. They are starting to really dominate professional Rugby. I'm not saying European people cant compete but actively encouraging Polynesians to go to the USA and play Football is not really necessary is it? I know Hawaiians are U.S. citizens so that's fair enough, but if I were you I wouldn't be "rooting" for Polynesians generally. I'm sure they get plenty of support and encouragement from colleges and NFL without them needing to be "fan favorites".

Polynesians are even more over represented in the NFL than blacks according to their population. Why would I want to root for them?

Linebacker is a good position to compare White athleticism to Poly athleticism.

The PTB are also shoving more Polys into the linebacker position, but Whites still tend to be superior at the position... Other than Junior Seau's career, what is there?

Lofa Tatupu has been solid, but it's being said that this upcoming season is very important in determining where he ranks as a MLB.

Pisa Tinoisamoa has been alright when healthy, but that's the key point.. as he is a permanently injured player. For being in the league for 7 years, his career numbers are not great.

http://espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=4501


I've never been sold on Rey Maeauluga, or however you spell it, but we shall see.


There's a significant number of Poly linebackers on Rivals, and they get overrated just like the blacks. What can "4-star" black/Poly linebackers "do" that White linebackers' somehow can't? The "star-system" is hilarious...

Whites, with superior production, often in tougher HS classifications, being ranked lower?

Then they get called "overachievers" and "lunch-pail" when they tackle all of the affletes in college. Weird, huh?

my question is why do you want to come to a site that celebrates White athletic achievement and immediately concern yourself with promoting the efforts of non-Whites? i'm sure there are plenty of other locales on the web that would suit your agenda more aptly. don't you?

if you choose to cheer on White athletes, then by all means we welcome you. but if you insist on applauding other groups and wish for us to do the same, i would urge you that you are wasting your time here.

I never said that Tatupu was a scrub or anything, but how can you describe him as "pretty much White?"

You do know that light-skin does not magically make someone into a person of European origin?


P.S. -- It looks like schools pandered to this Poly: http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Nila-Kneubuhl-108042

There's plenty of Texans' that would love to have had those scholie offers.

Yes i know hes not white but surely more white than black. Atleast most of them are and this is just my personal opinion of poly guys. I certainly don't put them ahead of white guys but i do put them ahead of blacks

I have nothing against Islanders per se, except that they DO NOT have the same prejudices against themthat white players do, so they are NOT dogged by the caste system to even close to the same degree as whites are. For purposes of the caste system, and the way that the media, the recruiting sites and DWF's see them, Polys are virtually black, despite their "light skin color".

As someone here recently mentioned on another thread, the Polys are football's equivalent to baseball and hispanics, a minority that has some ability that is highly recruitedto supplement the black presence.



Whites are being systematically marginalized in this society in every meaningful way.

Yes, I also could care less about the "plight"Â￾ of Polynesian athletes. Those who are hand-picked to make NFL rosters are usually tough, durable, talented players. The same can't be said for the league's "majority race."Â￾ Polynesians are very much a part of Caste System's blueprints to further reduce the amount of white players "chosen"Â￾ to join this supremely-corrupt corporation.

Statistically speaking"¦for every Polynesian playing OL, DL, LB, and FB, there were likely hundreds, if not thousands of white players with better speed, strength, athleticism, numbers, etc.

White WR, is there any way you can clean up your grammar and punctuation"¦especially when you are the "topic starter?"Â￾Edited by: Thrashen

From a New Zealander's perspective, I don't have a huge amount of sympathy for Polynesian players in the NFL as they seem to be highly over-represented anyway. It is interesting though how they are stereotyped in a similar manner to white players and pigeonholed into playing predominately "power" or "strength" positions.

In New Zealand (and to a lesser extent, Australian) rugby, the polynesian players perform a similar role to the black players in the NFL. While I don't think the caste system permeates NZ rugby anywhere near as much it does in American sport, it is definitely present. Polynesians dominate the "speed" positions in NZ rugby, especially Centre and Wing, which would translate roughly to RB and WR/CB respectively. White Wingers are often described as being "deceptively fast" or "lacking in top-end speed", and are encouraged to change positions and move to Fullback, a position which requires more positional awareness and kicking skill, but where speed is not seen as such a necessity.

I quite like seeing Polynesian players getting a shot at the NFL, and it would be nice if they could break into a few of the speed positions as well, if only to demonstrate the foolishness of picking players based on preconceptions rather than their actual abilities. Because if their had never been any blacks in the NFL, you can be sure that some other ethnic group would have been anointed as the athletic "master race" anyway.

First, welcome brother! Next, please accept this constructive criticism: don't equate skin-color or skin-shade with race.

"White" is just a slang term for people of European origin. Think of Europids as "Group A," Polynesians as "Group B" and ******** as "Group C." Neither can be the other.

You can tell us your general experiences with Pacific Islanders have been more positive than with people of African origin; but don't start calculating racial-distance based on skin-tone gradations. Skin color is one of the more superficial of all racial differences. A Negro with albinism is not a "White" man, even though his skin is white.

Maybe they were confused with his Germanic surname.
