University Research on Racism in the AFL

[Baggers]

Might be time to pose my concerns that will become all to clear by the time you finish reading.

1.  How is this funded and for what purpose?
2.  What credentials, age and background do you or the university bring to the table that warrant or encourage the completion of this questionnaire?
3.  Over what period of time is this information collated?
4.  Is this done by state, by sport, by age group of the replies?
5.  What mechanisms do you have in place to discern what you believe to be honest responses from those that are not that might be parochial / biased or outright deceit to distort the numbers?  Committee?
6.  When and how will the results be published and to whom?

Thank you

I would have thought research into racism in the family home, where it starts, would be far more revealing. Racism in the AFL is only symptomatic of our society and culture at large.

In addition you might want to research racism in all religions, and also in a variety of cultures & socioeconomic groups.

Then you might want to research what in our psychology predisposes certain types (and who they are) to prejudice, hate and fear. Now that's a project worth pursuing... there's already some very helpful information in this regard available.
