No one attacked you. I don't even know you and am not in your physical proximity, so attack is impossible. I am incapable of lecturing you. You...
We are all racist, including myself, by dint of the fact that we participate, live in, are affected by a worldwide racist culture. We have the...
"Two inches of pain." It's endless. Race fundamentally structures how we think, feel and behave. But we are loathe to admit it.
As one quick example social psychologists have studied social space: whether we stand closely to or far away from, strangers based upon factors...
Racism is not as transparent as that. Racism takes behavioral, cognitive, symbolic forms, and it also exists as a phantom and mist deeply buried...
LOL, no one is going to attack you for your evaluations whether optimistic or conservative. :) What I look for is evidence one way or the...
This has happened countless times: stereotypical depictions of women and minorities are easy to digest and swallow--they also reinforce specific...
I didn't say it was correct or incorrect, I assumed it was hypothetically for the sake of argument. As in "if this is true, then..." Personally...
Well, yes, that is my point exactly: we don't require a 'sample size' of nba games to proclaim potential or even inevitable greatness on the part...

A reasonable position to be sure, but what's notable is the incredible vitriol that many posters bring to the debate. This is far from an...
There is plenty of precedent to expect success of European or black players in the NBA. There is really none for an Asian American to succeed as...
It IS farfetched: in the same way that it's "farfetched" to expect to see an African American female professor of mathematics at CalTech.
Well, as I said before, when we see or hear the unexpected, disbelief is a normal reaction. We don't EXPECT to see Asian Americans excelling...
We can go back and forth with the numbers, but ultimately, understanding Jeremy's talents and gifts requires a profound paradigm shift. A big part...
Yeah, I really don't get the pessimism on this board. The rockets have had a lot of success, including back to back titles not so long ago, along...
The truth is, we really don't know how good Lin can be. JLin was really getting worn down by the sudden transition to huge minutes and the...
