Holy **** that's the greatest thread ever
That reminds me. Metsguy is chastising others for assuming a certain race speaks a certain way (even though nobody did that), when he once assumed, hell, insisted, that a person with a Latino last name must be foreign (he insisted that Freddy Sanchez was foreign even though he was born in America).
He said something similar about how everyone of Arabic or Middle Eastern descent was Muslim or something like that.Quote:

Eagerly awaiting this USA Today article:
Quote:
Fans look down from their seats onto the basketball court, see light-colored skin and might assume they are White-American players. But increasingly, the players instead hail from Spain, Italy or Germany.
"People see white faces out there, and the perception is that they're White American," Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Jason Kapono says. "They're not us. They're impostors.
"Even people I know come up and say, 'Hey, what color is Dirk Nowitzki? Is he a white player?' I say, 'Come on, he's German. He's not white.' "
Win.Quote:

Yeah, pull out the old, "I'm not racist! I've been inside a lot of black people" card.Quote:
