Good question - but the answer is in the past. We allowed all ppl to be equal & now they, the black athlete is dominate in most sports.
As a female, I find this great because we are in a man's world, whether they are black, red or white. We have learned that & must not want to be a man but we the best we can be. History repeats itself & things can only get better for the minorities & balance themselves out. I believe this is God's way of keeping us in check.
As a coach, color has boundries. I believe everyone can learn & can do what they are capable if they are willing to do their best at all times. Meaning, the attitude has to start with you. So, you are short...etc... make up for it in other areas,... not just in sports but in life.
In general, let's be thankful there are sports & respect the game, fans, rules, & objective of the sports. This may not help but if you put in prospective to life - it has to be played out until the game / or life is over. Make things count. Learn to control the things you can & go from there.
Believing starts with you because there is so much hate/dislike in this world all ready, we need to be thankful for what we have & do the best we can everyday. I might not be 6 foot but I got heart & game for a short white gal & love the sport I coach with passion. That is what it really is about. Doing your best everyday is what matters. These athletes know this.
Take care! GO NUGGETS!!

Do you actually watch NBA games or are you going off stereotype. There are many good white players in the NBA. Lets see Steve Nash, Jason Williams, Dirk Notwiski, Kurt Hendrick, Luke Ridnor, Zydrunas Ilgauskas. All these players are good and there are still some more but what kind of retarded question is that? I guess maybe I should there are no black kickers/punters that play in the NFL? lol

That depends on what white guys you are talking about. Some white people are tall and thin and others are short and muscular. Most of the africans I have known from africa are tall and thin and have extremely long legs and arms. Its because they had to adapt to a tropical climate to prevent overheating long limbs help radiate heat. If you sent a 5-7 230 lb white guy to central africa with no shade he would probably overheat and die. This is not racists its a fact in parts of austraulia there are abroginies that live where its so hot and the heat index is so high it will kill that white guy no matter how much water he drinks he will die from overheating

First of all, why doesn't Steve Nash count? Second of all, Dirk Nowitzki will likely get MVP this year. GENERALLY, white guys are less athletic, and basketball is half athleticism.

White guys can play in the NBA. Dirk Nowitski, Steve Blake, Ilgauskas,Adam Morrison, Jason Williams
Just cause you can't play doesn't mean anything
Hey 23 the name is yao ming and Ginobli is Argentinan

Does Dirk Nowitzki count? I believe he's German, which is European, which is White. How about Jason Williams, is Kidd white? Luke Ridnour, Luke Walkton. That's just currently. What about Larry Bird, Jerry West...what a stupid racist question.
I'm getting tired of reading all these racist questions. For a sport that's supposed to be color blind, I can't understand why there are so many racially based questions.

it might be partially true, but white men CAN play in the NBA!
its just a stereotype!
its not like the NBA specifically selects people to play based on race.
They just look at who's best--maybe right now white guys haven't been drinking their milk!

Dude I ain't races but white guys suck at basketball, not all but most.
White guys play football not bball. They get creamed by balck ballers.
Most of the NBA and street legends are black not white.
