    Oh goodness.

    Look, I'm a dark-skinned, multiracial (hairy) guy born in the US, and I think this is interesting. If you can't discuss different nationalities/ethnicities without getting into D&D territory, then you have issues.

    Also as someone mentioned before, the 2005 Championship Spurs team had:

    Nazr Mohammed - USA/Ghana
    Rasho Nesterovic- Slovenia/Greece
    Sean Marks - New Zealand
    Manu Ginobili - Argentina
    Tony Parker - France
    Beno Udrih - Slovenia

    If you're counting Lin's ethnic background to include China, then the 2009 Champion Lakers would include:

    Jordan Farmar - American/Jewish (even went to play in Israel in 2011)
    Pau Gasol - Spain
    DJ Mbenga - Congo/Belgium
    Sun Yue - China
    Sasha Vujacic - Slovenia
    Trevor Ariza - American/Domincan

    *Manu is actually double too since he's both Argentinian and Italian, just like former Rocket - Carlos Delfino.

    Jew is a religion, not a country.
    Casspi is first an Israeli and only afterwards a Jew.

    It is like you will say Amare Stoudemaire is a Jew and then Black and then American.

    You should close this. The title is terrible. OP starts with skin color, then a religion, and then nationalities. Why not start with 2 Americans and a Israeli? Or refer to Lin as a Yellow guy?

    I have the gut feeling this thread heading to sewer.
    Trolls, racists and others will fight with each others.
    Please drop the hammer to close this!

    Uh, let's not go around comparing atrocities like slavery to mixing up cultures. In one case, people died at an alarming rate for the color of their skin!!!
