[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope you are not this dumb in real life if that example reflects what Asians are saying. Blacks represent about 13% of US population but represent over 73%. What if NBA says, no more than 50% black players in NBA (i.e., still over represented but unfairly reduced to 50% max based on skill and ability levels. Is that fair to blacks? I would say that not fair. Let skill/ability decide whether that player should or should not be in NBA. If it ends up being 90%, let it be 90% black. [/quote] The NBA has at various times had executives who considered the league to be too black. Drug problems in the late 70s, at that time the NBA finals wasn't even played live. Then they issued a dress code under David Stern after players like Allen Iverson came in and they didn't like all the tattoos. There was also a strange reaction by some of the media that the players were too geeky, more like Carlton rather than Will Smith.[/quote]
