    How come there are no black people in Argentina? At one point in time, blacks outnumbered other races in Argentina 3 to 1.

    What happened?

    Thanks.

    I was watching the Philly/Detroit game. Henry Bibby (Mike's dad) is on the Philly staff, and he's also VERY light skinned. I'm not sure Mike qualifies as half-n-half.

    Here in America (even on the census), White is interchangeable with Caucasian. People know that.
    This is true. However, I don't know why they use that term. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasus

    Because people can't spell Caucasian.

    I was trying to point out that the this can be an ambiguous term depending on what part of the world you live in. Some take it as people who hail from the Caucasus region of Eurasia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasian

    Then going back to the original argument

    Derron Williams, Jason Kidd, Mike Bibby are probably the 3 best white US guards.
    They can't be white. They're athletic.

    Precisely.

    I don't know why South/Central Americans, Mexicans, and Canadians don't go off on that more.

    Why would you think white Americans would dominate the game? In general, the African-American players are better athletes than the white American players.
    In my opinion this is a myth.

    In general, there are no fundamental differences between races, whether on the athleticism, intelligence, or any other spectrum. The differences are cosmetic. It's actually pretty clear that races do not exist in any scientific sense -- as specifically identifiable traits that are clear-cut (like you'd see between species).

    In my opinion when you see a certain group dominate a sport, it's because that sport is very important to that group, and the leaders of that group make it clear that they value achievement in that sport, and the kids grow up trying to be good at that sport and practicing and working at it, and seeking to continue to move up to higher and higher levels. You can see this over and over again in history, with all kinds of groups.

    The gringos and much of the world use the term American as the nationality of the USA. It seems to be a sore spot only for Latin Americans. But soon Canadians and Mexicans will be brought into the fold http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=15233

    White caucasian. still the same thing.

    Why does THAT matter?
    the nba need white superstars like manu because they are RLE MODELs. if you are a white poor kid and you wtach the nba any only see black superstars you don't you can make it.. owever since that person is your race, from a poor background liek you. You are liekly to think hey manu did that I can too as a white poor kid. IF all you see is people that you cannot assocate to your never try..

    Now why is this important because if they play basketball and practice. They are less likely to be in a gang or involved with "bad behavior". When they play even if they aren;t good enough they coudl geta college degree for playing ball for free.

    It has always been my belief that the NBA needs to promote its white superstars so they white kids do not feel they have no chance and basketball is only for blacks. Just like Black CEOs and women ceos tell kids yes you too can work hard and become a ceo.

    ROLE MODELS are good for society mroe so if the indiviudal can identify with them
