There are no racial connotations in the post you're referring to. The all-
blacks is the name of the NZ rugby team (a virtually unknown sport in the
US, I believe). The name comes from their black uniform. It doesn't sound
very politically correct, but it's not as bad as our soccer team (the all-whites,
who wear white uniforms).
I saw an advertisement here for a food product which proudly stated that it's
"what All Blacks are made of". I'm surprised they didn't get complaints.
Cheers,
