Abstract

In order to test the Anglocentric Hypothesis, namely, that stacking is likely to be found in anglocized societies with a history of structural inequalities and discrimination against minorities, positional segregation among New Zealand Maori rugby players was investigated. In general, little evidence was found to support a belief that racial ideology underlies the assignment of playing positions at the provincial level. The results are discussed in terms of Maori sporting culture, the inappropriateness of "race" as a categorizing variable, and racial relations in New Zealand society.
