WL, my point wasn't so much to dispute the publcity factor of whtie
athletes vs black ones, but to make a comparison between white
sprinters breaking the sub 10 mark and Tiger Woods. BG's argument is
basically who cares if a white dude breaks the sub 10, plenty of
black guys have already done it. I was attempting to make the
same argument, albeit somewhat poorly, that the same can be said of
Tiger Woods. Who cares if a black guy can win in the majors,
plenty of white guys have already done it.
Unless he's counting Vijay Singh as black, too, as he is as dark as
Tiger and Vijay's ancestors are from the same general geographic area
as Tiger's anyway.
And how about asking the Chinese if they care that Yao Ming can
play in the NBA, after all so many blacks and whites already play
center...
