    Joe Alexander is American Asian, not Asian American. His parents are white Americans, but he was born in Taiwan.

    When the NJ Nets started off 13-0 under Lawrence Frank, it was a big story. And, his background was a big part of the story.

    Frank is maybe 5'8". He's Jewish. He never even made his high school basketball team. He talked his way into the Five Star basketball camp to train as a coach, and went to Indiana with the express intent to become a team manager, so he could learn from Bobby Knight.

    It was the fastest start ever for a rookie coach in the NBA. It was a big story no matter what. But his background made it a better story.

    According to Mayweather, if a black guy hit the shot no one would care but since it was an Asian, Kate Upton wants Lin's number now.

    I hear Lin won't play the Bulls, Heat, Clips or OKC this season. Mayweather is cool with that.

    Will Strunk sez: "As it is" not "like it is."

    Its interesting, but so wrong.

    Yes that's the answer to being subjected to racism, go racist on someone else. Not understandable, not acceptable.

    Blacks don't "own" the NBA.

    If there is one thing that any minority should strive for is for everyone to be color-blind; just judge on the merits. By adopting the very thing that you have been supposedly fighting, well you're a hypocrite.
