When the NRL used Parramatta Captain, Junior Paulo in advertising 3 years ago and caricatured him as a rampaging Gorilla, the Christian Samoan laughed and said he did not take any offence and in fact admitted he does look a bit like that.

Junior Paulo, not just a champion footballer but also a champion Human being and Father.https://www.espn.com.au/nrl/story/_/id/31073947/nrl-apologises-junior-paulo-gorilla-emoji

So it is with great disappointment I find that Ezra Mam has rejected Spencer Liu's apology for calling him a monkey.

A little man in stature AND character, who just wants revenge ... acting exactly as a m..... would.

On Thursday, Leniu admitted he did use the word “monkey” on-field during the historic fixture and entered a guilty plea to the charge, with speculation the suspension could be between six and 10 weeks.

“I want to apologise to Ezra and his family for using the word I did and I am sincerely sorry to cause him such distress,” Leniu said.

“I’ve put my hand up and want to take ownership of this. I said the word but I didn’t mean it in a racist way. Anyone who knows me knows that’s not who I am.”

So what you're promoting is for people of colour to suck it up and allow racism to go unchecked? Is that your view?
