EricParticipantDoesn’t the NBA have a number of white stars from Europe (Predrag Stojakovic and Dirk Nowitzki, for example)? Oh, wait, they are not from Indiana. I’d file this one under Insanely Stupid Comment.

EricParticipantWhile in advanced individualized training (AIT) in the Army, I experienced a lot of stares and reactions in Georgia. I am a white man who has dated interacially in the past in Kansas City. I also had some experiences that I didn’t experience in Kansas City with other white people. While by myself, if another white person struck up a conversation, they would somehow bring race into the conversation (usually a snide comment about African Americans). Also, in the Army, other soldiers from the South tended to make comments about pictures of women I dated back in KC that I had in the barracks. Back in KC, I’ve noticed that African Americans living there from rural areas in the South are more fearful of white people than African Americans born in KC. All I know is that the South got problems.

EricParticipantIt’s really all a preference in cultures.

EricParticipantReality of it is that white people who complain about Affirmative Action and black people who complain about discrimination, neither really know the other’s qualifications. But questions are raised when one of the top high school graduates in the nation gets denied admission to colleges in California, yet accepted at schools like Harvard does draw a lot of questions among whites. I don’t have to worry about it in the military, we got promotion points.
