Instead of limiting and restricting, maybe you should fund youth programs that will naturally create talented black players.

I've heard some people refer to this behavior as "positive racism"... which is about as dumb as calling something "positive genocide"

Nobody with an IQ above 100 calls it that, at least not since the 1980s.

It's kinda funny, that Affirmative action is meant to help racial and ethnic minorities rise in the ranks of society. But in South Africa white people are the minority. Well actually Asians (including Indians) are a smaller minority. But still white people are a minority group. They just happen to dominate certain higer socioeconomic elements of society due to its very recent racist oppressive past.

I think a policy of getting more Africans into rugby and cricket is good. Instituting a strict quota perhaps is too much of the sharp end of affirmative action. More funding and promotion at the grass roots might be a better way to achieve a long term vision

Whats next quotas for prisons?

I wouldn't say it's that. The West Indies has some of the most passionate players/fans in the sport.

My guess is that it stems back to South Africa's apartheid roots, and while the policy might be gone, there is still a sense of the white community having a "head start" over the majority of black dwellings.

I think the main issue is opportunity, which should be the main focus. Excellent talent can be found even in the poorest of communities, the question is, if the opportunity never arises, does this talent ever go anywhere? Quotas are merely a way of forcing the outcome without having to put the effort in to solve the cause.

Lol Cricket is the most popular sport in India so its not simply about Colonial past lol

Affirmative action does not work, look at the US, is a place of racial zen...no lol

Absolute BS. Players should be chosen based on skill, not on skin colour. 

They've been doing this for a while now. Kevin Pietersen, who is one of England's best batsmen, only joined the English team because he couldn't get a spot with the SA team due to the racial quota system. Pietersen was lucky to have an English mother though, but there must be so many great players who miss out from playing completely because of this silly system.

No, just the US...

Yeah, because the "OscarsSoWhite" were such a huge controversy outside the US...
