and isn't so much one based upon "race" as "culture." And I don't see it as cause for a flame war here. We are mature enough to be able to discuss issues like this without it becoming ugly.

I was never much of a b-ball player. I boxed. And I remember when the former light heavyweight champion turned author Jose Torres said that you could blindfold him, and walk him through a locker room, and he could tell you where the blacks were, where the whites were, and where the Hispanics were. It made a few people uncomfortable. Or I remember when Kenny Norton was on as a guest with Don Dunphey, announcing a fight on tv. Both guys were wearing the same color trunks, with just a tiny difference in the stripes. Don kept saying," so-n-so in the _____ trunks," and finally Kenny said, "Don, we can all see that he's the black guy, and the other guy is white." The sport survived.
