    Right...but there are over 130 players who identify as multi racial. What's your best guess as to the percentage of those 130+ that are black/white?

    I'd venture to guess at least 90% of them.

    That’s your guess. The numbers say that’s probably not accurate.
    Why does this matter so much?

    These people don’t identify as black, white, hispanic, asian or anything other than multi race.

    Make sense, I would think some people will be frustrated either way. No point to wait anymore, if you want Mccown so be it. The fire storm will be quite interesting to see either way :eek:

    I’m not fighting anything. I’m telling you what the numbers actually are.
    Mixed race doesn’t mean black or white.
    Yes, 57% of the league is black

    Why is it so important to you that mix raced means black? Just because your kid identifies as that doesn’t mean it’s the same as the league. Anecdotal evidence isn’t the same as statistics

    Mixed race….in this context…means black. You are just being dense.

    Ah, the classic "I'm not a racist because some of my friends are black (or people of color)/I know-work-sit near black people/I've met-shook hands with black people" defense. Works every time for Fox News and Texas Republicans...

    No, it really doesn’t.
    If it meant black it would be in the percentage of black players.

    You just want it to be because you have mixed kids. You realize there are more than just black and white multiracial families right?
    In fact asian and white are more common than black and white.

    A little different than what you think and in fact if you think this you're a racist.

    I've owned my own company since 1994. I not only employ African Americans. I have many African Americans I've been lucky enough to meet pay me money for the services we provide. Over the years I've made friends with many of these great people. We play golf/go to crawfish boils and various other functions for business together. I'm fortunate to have these friends. You can call me or think of me however you wish. I'm just glad I have friends from all different backgrounds and frankly dont give 2 sh!ts what you think of me.

    Dear god, I never thought eugenics would be a prominent discussion point here in the Texans Forum.

    Dude, it’s not that hard to understand.
    Mixed race isn’t black or white. I know you want them to be black but that’s not what the statistics say.

    Patrick Mahomes=Mixed Race. What does he identify himself as? Black. I think you are missing the dynamic. Are there mixed-race people that don't identify as both? Sure. Society most of the time forces you people to identify as one or the other. Most in the NFL will identify as black.
