Danny Ainge has Traded/Signed for Seven White Players

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.

When did hispanic become white?

Is this a serious question?

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.

Seems the USA official census data does not count hispanic and latinos as "white".

Just for sake of discussion, what percentage of white Jazz players, no matter how much it made sense for best team composition, be socially unacceptable to have in the NBA for Utah? I mean, would the Jazz rolling out a team of 80% white players be addressed behind the scenes by the NBA?

there would be discussions behind the scenes, for sure. it would be difficult to do anything about it, but yeah the nba would be concerned, imo. and it would be hilarious.

Pain.

one brow, c'mon now (see what i did there?). seriously, though- which post in this thread caused you pain?

 

[seattlejazzfan]

I dont give a **** about the color of the player, i just want to have a winning team. If for that we have to hire Smurfs, just do it !

i draw the line at blue people. call me racist or whatever, i don't want blue people playing for my team. i'd rather lose with blacks, whites and italians than win with blue people.

That is actually a designator with companies and on the census now. Do they identify as caucasion and as hispanic are separate questions.

This is pretty standard now:



So you can be hispanic and white, or hispanic and black. Or other, etc.
