The Raptors are by far the whitest team in the NBA, with 10 whites currently on the roster (50% of the total)!!!

Next year's starting lineup will have at least 60% white players. And with so much white depth...it could quickly become 80% or even *gasp* an All-white starting lienup.

Potential starters are:
SF Andrea Bargnani *
PG Jose Calderon
SF Carlos Delfino
C Rasho Nesterovic
SG Jason Kapono *
PF Jorge Garbajosa *

* denotes likely starter.

That's especially encouraging considering that the Raptors for a long time ranked with the Knicks and Wizards among the league's blackest teams.It's telling though how few American whites continue to make it through the Caste System's filters.

Chris bosh is the best player on the team he will start. Man I hope they win the east this year Bargnani could in a few years become another Dirk and look for Delfino to pull an Okur and become a star after he leaves detroit.

Bargnani is definatly a superstar in the making. I hope Delfino gets a decent amount of playing time unlike at Detroit because he's a quick skillful player who has a nice dunk on him aswell. Lookin good Toronto.

Interesting b/c the Raptors GM is black. (Sam Mitchell right?) I get the sense that blacks in management or coaching are either at the fairest end of the spectrum to whites or very unfair w/ little in between.

I get the feeling that whites in charge are so afraid of being labeled as a racist that they go out of their way to load up on all blacks, or at least as many as they can. The fair black GM's however, feel that no one will call them racists so they feel a lot more confident as to who they can sign or add to their rosters.

The white-dominated Raptors got some valuable playoff experience last year and will be a team to watch and follow closely this year. I just hate all the spanish last names on the squad because the ignorant will think of them as Latino and not White Spaniards.

Sam Mitchell is the coach.

President and GM is Brian Colangelo, formerly of the Suns.

Brian Colangelo is also black though, is he not? and I agree w/ Skipperon on his reasoning. I have said before that blacks like Sam Mitchell aren't criticized for being fair to whites, but racist blacks are worse to whites than the white caste whores b/c I've never heard of a white black supremacist have you? Only the marxist brainwashed media and W**gers.

Bryan Colangelo is a white man. he has spent an extensive amount of time in Europe, however, and has realized that you don't have many of the "issues" with European players that you do with blacks. hence, his blueprint for team-building.

The Raptors are white because, the GM realizes that ghetto blacks won't re-sign in Toronto. The ignorance that early baseball players used for the Jays are still used by the younger stars ie you will have to learn french, or that you can't find solefood. It seems like only christians or desperate players would sign in Toronto. Utah has done the same thing. The funny thing is that the style that teams use is the old Celtic style which with the right talent can take you to the title. Maybe this will be trend in the me first league....

Toronto is an English speaking city.

Just thought I would set the record straight.
