Wickie’s story about dealing with racism

Thank you.
[Applause]

You got this, Wiki. This is what you trained for. Just brave. Got it.

I thought you black fellas were good at footy? Yeah, didn’t you invent the game?

Come on, then. You want to have a go, you two? Big flame-head, come on, then.

You’re mine, grunk.

Oi, what’s going on in here?

Nothing, coach. Just finishing up here.

Hey, don’t blame yourself for what happened out there. It’s all part of it.

Yeah, I know, coach.

If those girls give you grief, especially about your race, you can come talk to me. You know there’s no place for it in our game, our school, or anywhere. Just let me know, all right?

Thanks, coach. Will do.

Anyway…
