Wanganui Chronicle 27/11/18 POLITICAL CORRECTNESS In answer to Maureen J. Anderson's letter "Rousing challenge to haka" maybe the haka should be exclusive to the Maori All Blacks. Being politically correct as we should be these days, we are no longer allowed to have Baa Baa Black Sheep, so why the "AB Black" rugby team? Is political correctness running the world or have all the loonies escaped from the loony bin (sorry —mentally challenged, non-specific-gender persons)? Being a Kiwi born and bred and a true believer in the status quo of our New Zealand society, which includes the AB Blacks, I wonder when someone is going to feel insulted or angered by the name of our national team. And why stop there? The Tall Blacks is another politically incorrect name on two fronts, both racial and height sensitivity, and the list goes on. If I have stirred the plot, at least make it that we can learn to look at ourselves and laugh at ourselves. And the "H" in Whanganui?
