    What are the reasons for that skepticism? That's the crucial point here.

    You're not making any sense.

    Bias doesn't cancel out bias.

    For example, there are a lot of people who love Obama because he's Black. But that doesn't mean there aren't a ton of people who despise him because he's Black.

    Agree with several posters. I am asian. This has nothing to do with racism whatsoever. It is purely from the fact that Lin is not playing at the level that a $25 million dollar contract suggests. I guess many feel tricked by his Linsanity performance last spring that it has not translated to the current time. Perhaps even Morey is thinking he made a bad bet. However, it is still early in the season and conclusions can only be made at the end, at least valid ones IMO. Just my two cents.

    Not every Lin fan is calling you a racist either. That's my point.

    Each side is taking the most extreme views of the other and generalizing it as the other group.

    A few people are calling out racism and now supposedly every Lin fan has that viewpoint. My opinion is that it is not really racism. If anything at all, it's more like stereotyping is involved.

    A few people made some asian jokes about an asian player and now supposedly every Lin critic is a racist. My opinion is these posters are trying to be funny, although done in poor taste, and at the same time tweak/troll the people who disagree with them.

    But my favorite are the posters who post like they are representing a group. Newsflash: nobody ever elected you spokesperson. You are not representing a group, you are expressing your own opinion and your post should reflect that. If people agree with you, they will chime in.

    If they aren't using words like "We" "Us" "Our kind", etc then they aren't trying to be a spokes person.

    Some people expect Lin can beat CP3 in the All-Stars voting.
    They are mad at this.

    That is taken out of context and you know it. I was being sarcastic in my first quote. If you have to lie to make a point then why bother make the point at all? I am beginning to doubt your grasp of the English language, KEEP IN MIND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT RACE YOU ARE.

    And clearly by the fact that my quote was ended in LAUGH OUT LOUD (LOL) I was not being serious. I'm also starting to doubt your intelligence.

    You should realize that in the second quote he's speaking of Lin fans and in the first quote he's referring to those who the Lin fans are claiming to be racist.
    <br>
    The anyone skeptical = anyone skeptical (i.e. people who aren't LoF)
    <br>
    Not every Lin Fan = Lin Fans (i.e LoF)
    <br>
    The two are different. And you just tried to say he was claiming every Lin fan has accused him of being racist by quoting a statement he made in regards to non LoF.
    <br>
    That reading comprehension too strong...

    Let it go brah. He's just being ignorant.

    I would call him a troll, but I genuinely think he's just ignorant. Plus, trolls are at least amusing.

    First of all, these people are all going to hell.

    Second, I wouldn't generalize "America" from a handful of neglected attention whores.
