No matter where you're from in America, you're eventually going to be in the position where someone of another race is your equal...at school or work. Regardless, we still have a long way to go in the simple fact that race is still an issue at all. Heck, I have a very good friend who told me he is going to vote for Obama simply because he is black (isn't that racism?). If that's all it took to get the left on board, J.C. Watts or Alan Keyes should be the next President...and they're actually qualified. No matter.
The same continent that brought you death threats and a constant reminder of how ugly "the beautiful game" can be, now comes the hilarity of facial gestures from the Spaniard basketball team while in China. Part of what Gasol says is right- people take things too seriously...But the fact that he and his teammates saw nothing wrong with what they were doing is ignorant...and can you imagine an entire roster of Americans doing something similar? Me neither.
It's kind of like me saying that all Euros don't shower...See, that stereotype simply is not the rule...with the exception for a few unkempt individuals that ruin it for the rest of them, much of Europe practices very good hygiene.

Yes its racism. People are focusing too much on the fact that Obama could be our first black president and not enough on his radical socialist roots and voting record.
PM -- Aren't you the fucking douchebag who got publicly flamed on Deadspin for leaving these kinds of political comments? Jesus. Let it go. This post is about the lighter side of casual racism (which is universally appreciated, BD ... well played). Nobody wants to hear you spewing crazy. Sit the fuck down until told otherwise.
Matt's pissed a few people off from time to time...Never me, though (wink).
