    Ever heard of white Hispanics?

    I study Urban Geography so naturally I have to study race...

    What team is the blackest of the black? I don't really notice these types of things.

    The blackest team is Detroit I think, only 2 white dudes (Jonas Jerebko and Kyle Singler) on the Pistons' roster on their website though they might not make the squad.

    Correct me if I'm wrong

    The fact that people can't even decide how to racially categorize certain players is proof that it's all worthless anyways.

    Is it our job to fix it or perpetuate it?

    he meant possibly as in he's not officially signed

    of course Barrera is white, European decent = white whether it's Spanish, English, Italian, French etc

    obviously race does not matter but Aldeman teams do seem to have a theme

    They only look white. Shved, Kirilenko and several others are Euros, not white. Love and Budinger are both rather athletic, so not really white, either.

    Lol did you fill out the census? Because the form clearly asks whether 'hispanic, latino, or Spanish origin'.

    I honestly feel like a dumbass for looking that up. I couldn't care less about this.

    That is true for Americans, not Euros or Puerto Ricans.

    Most of the black players on the T wolves are damned near white.

    Utah, just because. I don't even need to count who's on the roster.

    #2 is Indiana, just because.
