    So it's ok to have all-asian NBA teams but not all-white ones?

    Obama self-identifies as African-American. And according to the one-drop rule, created by whites, he would be considered Black. That rule has had a long legacy.

    Based on the second part of your statement, everyone has more class than you.

    I'm out as well. I'm gonna just stick to on-court discussion on here. When race comes up, the ugliness comes out. A bit disappointed, but not at all surprised. Peace.

    Race hustling is race hustling. It doesn't matter who's doing it. It's all the same, it's toxic, it hurts communities, it fosters hate, and anyone doing it should be publicly condemned.

    Of course, there will sometimes be disagreement on what race hustling is, but there is no way to defend the sheer recklessness of Tyrone Terrell's comments and the damage he is causing because of it.

    Quotas in the NBA would be disastrous for Black athletes. Their numbers would plummet as more Whites, Latinos, and Asians were added to rosters.

    If Blacks make up less than 20% of America, that would be two to three players per team. Add another two to three Latino, one Asian, and the rest would be White guys.

    To be generous:

    Latino
    Latino
    Black
    Black
    Black
    Asian
    White
    White
    White
    White
    White
    White

    Is that what Tyrone Terrell would prefer, because I'm pretty sure White, Latino, and Asian players would go along with it? That would put hundreds of Black NBA players out of work, though, so I highly doubt it.

    In a place that calls its black population African american, it always makes me laugh when Euros aren't 'white'
