However, I disagree more strongly with your [70sFan] repeated remarks disparaging his physical/athletic ability. I actually believe Moses was a fairly formidable athlete (if in a sneaky or understated way)
I'm dying that a code word for white athlete is being used on a Black athlete.Well done.
Um.....what?
What exactly are you saying here (I guess I don't know the "code", so I'm not sure if this is character attack or what)?
there is a bit of a joke (based on reality) that white players always get similar comments "he is so smart, a real hard worker, more athletic than he looks, a team first guy" etc
which is both a positive amd negative bias, positive (and racist) because it means people more easily assign assign positive personality characteristic to white players compared to black ones which seem more likely to be called divas for the same thinghs a white player wouldnt
negative because they are also seen as less athletic they actually are
a best example i can think of is jeremy lin, who almost nobody realized was a insane athlete with mediocre basketball IQ (going to Harvard also caused people to assume he was basketball genius)
he got passes over cause he was Asian so nobody paid paid attention to his athletism
