Re: Why do the Timberwolves have so many white guys?
With all the talk about how easy it is to be banned on realgm, and this thread lives on. Calling white guys unathletic is mildly racist, is it ok to question non-white players bbiq? Can we bring up the fact that in football, non-white qb's can't win the big games(there has been plenty of opportunities for many, many years now) can they react fast enough? Why is it ok to say white guys can't jump, but that black guys can't think fast enough is racist? I DO NOT think that either is the case, I am more sick of the double standard. Please feel free to kiss my a#@ if you don't agree

Wut?
Rubio has European genes, more accurately mediterranean ones. Barea has South American latin blood, which if you go back a few generations could have criollo blood, which are the european whites who colonized Latin American countries back in the 15th and 16th century, but unless all his family is from Spaniard descent, he is most likely to have more South American native genes than anything else.
Obviously both are different "whites" than the anglosaxon stereotype, but just making all non-anglosaxon whites equal y comparison is a mistake to say the least.
When you say both are hispanic, yeah, it could be possible that at some point Barea's great great great great grand parents where Spaniards just as Ricky's, but I'm sure the genetic mixture for Barea and Ricky since that point has taken very different paths.
Just saying for the sake of info. Now, it could be that Barea's grandparents where from Spain and emigrated to Puerto Rico 60 years ago, which would make RR and Barea genetically very close, but otherwise, what I said above.
As a matter of fact - JJ grandparents are from Spain....Spanish National Team even tried to convinced him to play for them internationally, don't know where JJ stand on this idea.

OK. I don't think anyone really crossed the line in this thread like I've seen other "race" threads on RealGM, BUT, I think everything has pretty much been said that needs to be said so, before it gets any worse, I'm locking it up.
