  • A lot more than just American xtians. There are countries where people cannot get safe, legal abortions because of the stranglehold that xtians have on the political class. Likewise access to contraceptives and even basic reproductive education within the school system. The Roman Catholic Church has been far more destructive than American xtians.

  • It was a "that's racist" shout because the legal system in north America is horrendously racist. It's not just in the court room, even before matters get to court, the manner in which white women are treated by prosecutors (who offer sweet deals as in this case), police (who are less likely to apprehend and if done they do tentatively/reluctantly) has a quite visibly racist component to anyone who knows how the system treats "others". Context matters - some people got it, apparently others did/do not.

  • Gender and racial judicial bias are real issues in the western world but continue to bury your head in the sand and pretend that the judicial system is blind. Time and time again the criminal justice system in north America demonstrates an unwillingness to hold white women to account. When they do face consequences the sentences levied upon them are typically noticeably less than that which are given to men in similar circumstances. The most glaring discrepancy is between white women (who are treated with the softest of kid gloves) and Black males. I say "males" and not "men" because even Black male juveniles are treated more harshly than white women. It's almost as if the system expects a greater level of maturity and accountability from Black male juveniles than it does adult white women.

  • Because it's a stupid game. Rugby "took off" in places with a significant settler/invader population, which India lacked (relative to the size of the Indian population). Plus, India has its own sports that are far more interesting and then there's cricket which is a superior game of skill and tact.

    Rugby isn't even popular in the country that birthed the game.
