Jonah now a lightie

I find it amusing that the very people expressing outrage at the suggestion that the Crusaders have a policy of a quota for Maori and Pacific Island players, are now also demanding there be a quota for Maori and Pacific Island RWC Ambassadors.

Newstalk ZB reports:

The Prime Minister admits he does not know why no Maori were chosen as Rugby World Cup ambassadors.

As the debate over Andy Haden’s “darkies” comment subsides, anger remains over the lack of Maori and Pacific Islanders among the six ambassadors.

The announcement of the ambassadors:

The Government is thrilled to have secured the high-powered support of Jonah Lomu, Sean Fitzpatrick, John Kirwan, David Kirk, Andy Haden, and Andrew Mehrtens to help meet that challenge.

So does Jonah not count as a Pacific Islander?
