White

[MiNuS]

Dude, that guy is long gone. His name is Alberto Fujimori and he had to leave the presidency after his strong man was videotapped paying bribes to a congressman.

okay and my point was that they had a spanish speaking oriental running the place.He's yellow not white.He's oriental race not of European decent.

[Kori Ellis]

they had a spanish speaking oriental

Hey, don't use the word "oriental". Oriental is for objects .. like an oriental vase. Use the word "Asian" for people.

Thanks.

[ALVAREZ6]

something like that.....so do yall really have the statue of Sylvester Stallone up on the steps of the museum?

No, but we do have a statue of Slyvester Stallone outside the Wachovia Spectrum which is right next to the Wachovia Center. Near it is a statue of Dr. J.

damn, Kori, beat me to it!

[Dre_7]

Wow! You guys are still arguing about the whole "white" thing? Is it really that important??

There wasnt even this much arguing when GiG used racial slurs on this site.

Who cares what "color" Manu is. He can ball!! Thats all that matters!!!! Who cares about race?? JEEPERS!!!!!!

[samikeyp]

is it me or is this thread becoming "quattro-esque"?

[Mixability]

Oh, well, here we go again (trainning camp, please start at once!). Manu isn't "Hispanic" nor white he is Latin American.

looks like you got one of your own turning on your so-called obvious facts, smeagol

[Mixability]

Manu is definitely.............................






































still a Time Warner Customer

There you go -- now it's a Black thing.

now we can have 3 page long pointless discussions about what "black" really is and who qualify's as "black"

That was my point.

Okay, I'll start. Are people from the Dominican Republic black or hispanic?

[NZHayden]

does it really matter if you can field a team of white players

[NZHayden]

That was my point.

brown?

[Kori Ellis]

No it doesn't really matter. But it's unusual and somewhat noteworthy or interesting to some, I suppose.

[ObiwanGinobili]

I'd say they are blacspanic or hispack... but thats way too middle of the road friendly for this thread so I'm gonna jump off a bridge here and say : BLACKISH

[Mixability]

Danyo, just listen to Smeagol on this one.


Where are most Argentines' ancestors from? Europe.

Where are most of any "american" white person's ancestors from? Europe.

wow, based on this theory, I'm white. Now when talking about getting held back by "the Man", I'm talking about myself!

[whottt]

He also speaks English

That means he's half white and half hispanic.

Bowen speaks spanish.

Half black, half hispanic.

My wife, whom I love very much and I have already told her story in an earlier post, spoke English before she spoke Spanish. But she is 100% Argentine. Is she Hispanic or White?

As noted by Obiwanginobili...


If she started out white and then converted to hispanism...she's a half breed. A whispanic if you will....like Manu...only since he was a hispanic first he's a hispwhite...essentially the same thing...only different.

But if you have one drop of the hispanic language in you you are still a hispanic and therefore cannot be of the white race.

And don't even ask me what Dikembe Mutombo is with his 7 languages...he's beyond classification.

[ALVAREZ6]

And don't even ask me what Dikembe Mutombo is with his 7 languages...he's beyond classification.

Speaking of Mutombo, his FULL name is Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean Jacque Wamutombo .


How do you get that name?

[Obstructed_View]

I always thought it was kind of cool that the 80's Celtics had two or three good white players and a black coach.

[batman2883]

That was my point.

Okay, I'll start. Are people from the Dominican Republic black or hispanic?

They are latinos, hispanic is the word used for mexicans.......

In the 90´s Dennis Roddman sayed:

"The Blacks are better than the whites because we know then we can kick a white ass"

In the 21st Century sometimes the whites kicked some black asses, that thing is new for the NBA

[batman2883]

There are some good "white" players out there.......to name a few

Wally Sczerbiak
Kyle Korver
Beno Udrih
Jason Williams
Mike Bibby
Brent Barry

[ObiwanGinobili]

Speaking of Mutombo, his FULL name is Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean Jacque Wamutombo .


How do you get that name?

I have no idea.. i'm thinking you get it when your parents owe alot of people alot of major favors and naming your kid after them is a way to get the monkey off your back.........

[ObiwanGinobili]

In the 90´s Dennis Roddman said:

"The Blacks are better than the whites because we know then we can kick a white ass"

Rodman has said many many things into a microphone and/or TV camera.. but they all amount to the same thing:

"Hey! look at me !! LOOK AT ME!!! See me??!!! Look! LOOK AT ME!!! "

[Mixability]

And don't even ask me what Dikembe Mutombo is with his 7 languages...he's beyond classification.

doubt it, but if he has any drop of european blood in his family, he's white..... according to smeagol

wow, i can call myself white now! does that mean i lose my rhythm?

[ObiwanGinobili]

I'm
GerIrishHunCherokBlacJewish ..... also known as Heinz57.
And if anyone wants to call me white thats fine, as long as it means I have good credit.
