The selective presentation of information argues the point in and of itself. Your denial of responsibility is not credible.


Glad you can find such joy in a subject that causes others pain. I guess as long as your not in pain, you don't care.

Pain?

Like someone pointed out earlier, the NBA is like 20% white (and that might be overstating it), so yes, it's pretty remarkable.

Cody Zeller is on a camp deal. Micah Whatsisname is on a two-way. Neither of these are likely to be on the 15-man roster. Bolmaro is Argentinian, which isn't white or European.

Fontecchio was considered the best player playing in Europe this past season. He wants to get PT in the NBA and the Jazz can provide that.

I don't think having this many white dudes is all that intentional, tbh. Maybe Ainge has a thing for Kelly Olynyk for whatever reason, but he saves the Jazz money and has a team option next year.
 
I didn't look at all the posts here, but going through ESPNs top 20 players this year only 2 in their top 20 are white; Luka and Joker. We are tanking, so signing/trading for white guys basically means we are tanking. If our existing white guys are pretty good, we are going to trade them. Even Sarah Todd said "Bogdanovic was too good to keep on the roster. He’s not a player that would willingly agree to load-managing his way through the season just so the Jazz could lose some games"

There are other ways to suck that don’t include sending your most valuable asset that you have to deal for absolutely nothing in return.

Whiteness is more a concept than a static thing.

Bolmaro is "Argentinian" but he is very much a "white" person in his country. And yes, Italians are white. Both people would be identified and treated as "white" in all visual context in America.

The whole double-faced act of welcoming Ukrainian refugees while ******** on Palestinian or Syrian refugees is out there.

The difference isn't skin-tone, but who the refugees have been. Ukrainian refugees are mostly women, children and elderly, and practically no men ages 20-40 (because they stay behind to fight, and hopefully someday make it safe to return). From Syria, Palestine and Iraq the humongous vast majority has been 20-30 year old males who rather than fight for their lands took the easy way out; they have left their families behind to somehow manage, and themselves went looking for free iPhones in the West.

During the past 36 hours tens of thousands have escaped from Russia, seeking for refugee asylum once they get to the border. Over 90% of them have been men aged 20-35 who didn't want to stay and fight against Putler and his cronies, and who left their families behind. Despite their light skin-tone it is pretty safe to guess whether their treatment in the West will be closer to the Ukrainian refugees or the Syrian refugees.
