    They all look white to me!

    - Lin is a white Asian.
    - Delfino is a white Argentinian.
    - Asik looks like white Turkey, though I prefer black turkey for Thanksgiven dinner.
    - DMo is a white Euro.
    - Parson definitely a white American.

    Calling Lin "Asian stupid" might offend some fans here. I think he is pretty smart to be a Harvard grad.:p

    So much stupidity on this forum these days!
    So much racialism hidden under the guise of Colors

    By the way race has nothing to do with America, Africa, Asia, Europe or Australasia. Y

    See, the reason I don't go to the Chron anymore is because the section is filled with morons that talk about race no matter what the article is and they don't even have decent conversations about basketball. I prefer to talk about basketball. This better not spawn more garbage posts about race.

    So in a sport dominated by people who are Black, the legitimate possibility that our team may be fielding a line-up of ethnic minorities (relative to the sport of basketball) isn't fascinating?

    I don't understand what's racist about it.

    Of course Lin is Asian, that's obvious to anyone, but I think you're being a little disingenuous and unimaginative in whining that it was an 'oversight'.

    Racism is both positive and negative. I know it's a slow part in the off-season, but come on, man.

    To make my point a little more clear, if you brought home an Taiwanese , Turkish, or an Argentinian girl home to a tradition "white" family, would the said family register nothing amiss at all? I believe there answer is no.

    And no, I don't believe the fact that all 5 players on the court for the Rox at one point or time may be light skinned. However, I do find that our eclectic roster of different beliefs and cultures is very representative of the global game that basketball is nowadays.

    Whites talk American. Euros talk foreign. Turkey plays FIBA Euro so Asik Euro. He also wears shirt and jacket with no tie, so Euro. Delfino play ball in Euro so for ball purpose he Euro.

    Whites bring hustle, Euros bring shooting and ball IQ.

    LOL I was expecting to see a real all white line up and I see Jeremy's face first... too funny... He's Yellow... So it should be mostly white with 1 yellow lineup! lol

    To me white= anybody of European descent.

    That being said, that isn't an all-white line-up. You should have just said a starting line-up without black men instead of trying to dance around the issue.
