Wellington – Former New Zealand cricketer Ross Taylor revealed that he was a victim of racial abuse. In his autobiography Black and White, it is revealed that New Zealand stars, including himself, were victims of racism. It is also said that New Zealand cricket belongs to white people.
“I was an anomaly for the team. Brownface in a vanilla line up, that was me. Many such jokes in the dressing room hurt. It’s funny to them. Because they hear that joke as white people. No one tried to correct or stop the joke. Will speaking out against this lead to bigger problems, and be accused of trying to inflate the dressing room joke? That was all I thought” – revealed Rose Taylor.
Recently, some stars from other countries have also come forward accusing them of racial abuse. With this, discussions related to racism in cricket are heating up.
