| The evil quota system Martin Luther King always said that justice for blacks would only be properly achieved when they were treated equally with the white people. He stressed that he did not want to exchange one kind of domination over another. In my own home country India, extra previliges given to certain castes in order to "rectify" injustices done to them by others in the past got nowhere and only made the tensions worse. Likewise, the current "quota" system in South Africa, one that led to exclusion of a talented and in-from player like Andre Nel from the tour to India, is a blot on the country's image that could one day tear its population apart on racial grounds more effectively than apartheid ever did. |
