    Your point is far from eloquent.

    What do you mean by going to someone's house at night Pakistani style? Are you referring to American drone attacks on wedding parties at night in Pakistan or some Pakistani dude stalking 7'6" rockets basketball stars to their house for an autograph?

    They seem to have a weird affinity for this... feels like we get 3-4 uncoordinated zumba classes per season. I always wonder if other teams get better halftime entertainment.

    Sad that we have people so ignorant supporting the rockets.

    This ...It's entirely possible to dislike parts of someone else's culture without being racist. Well said..

    I'm not down with rap. I'm up with rap. As a writer, you can't help but like it or at least respect it.

    Perhaps. Though he most CERTAINLY made this about RACE. He LABELED HIMSELF and others by race. He directly attributed rock music to whites and dirty hip hop to blacks/minorities

    In short- He said

    We Whites (and mexicans) your high class dollar spenders who you know love rock music,

    are getting IGNORED for hip hop targeting blacks who are typically low class and cheap low spending

    Us White People do it RIGHT - You Black People do it WRONG - Return the PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT back to US!

    Looking at it now, there is no way to express it without offending or without looking entitled.

    Still, he directly/indirectly blames urban people. "Urban" is a euphemism for Black culture.

    There also is no way to look at it without having a deep look into the big societal demographic trends as a WHOLE. So discussion was gonna be had

    (For the record, I think he has right to this opinion if its a matter of preference.)

    I find this thread to be insufficiently urbanized.

    Jesus you're sensitive. The op didn't even say he wanted all rock music..... Just stating his preference.

    There are of course other ways of looking besides beimg the butt hurt urban culture defender.

    African-americans...you're reaaaaally trying hard not to be racist aren't you? You're doing a poor job.
    Also in posting this, did you really think you were going to drum up a lot of support? Ya narrow minded, ****.

    all OP had to do was ask.."whatever happened to the diversity of music at the toyota center?"

    instead he came out and states MY AFRICAN AMERICAN FRIENDS ASKED THE SAME THING!

    Each one of those people have to purchase a ticket to the game. Each of those people will bring about 2-4 people for support. That's a lot of tickets sold.

    He is a narrow minded ignorant racist. He's probably referring to the Sikh (not Pakistani) people that followed Yao to his house.

    If you're reading Bandwagoner, you should feel ashamed and go back & edit your post.
