OK, I did the research. I know EXACTLY how many whites are playing in the 2016-17 NBA

[tatehill2000]

In an earlier thread I posed the question,, Are there any NBA teams with no White people on it? the answer was 1

Indiana Pacers,,

Well I dug deeper,, I know the Exact % of whites in the 2016-17 NBA. I thought because i did 3 hours of research on it,, i should start a new thread so 10 years from now, we can see if there was improvement or not?

And just so you know, In identifying if a player was white American, I used 2 criteria,

1. where were they born
2. What race do THEY identify with. (there were a couple tough calls). In 1 case I couldnt find race, or identifying information, I found a video of them speaking ebonics therefore in that 1 case I was able to see they identified themselves with the black race.

currently there is 430 players. (+/- 20 players as lineups change, players are hired and fired weekly)

there is currently 39 WHITE American players in the NBA

11% is the % of their total

1 Team has NO WHITES whatsoever on their team, Indiana Pacers

8 Teams Have 0 AMERICANS (the players if looked at them would look white, but are Russian/Canadian/Australian/S.African)

10 Teams have 1 White American

The NBA team that is the LARGEST Employer of WHITE AMERICANS is,,, CHARLOTTE HORNETS
currently Charlotte is 21st out of 30 teams

Ummm, except this is the second of two threads started by a righty who is looking at race, and only race, when discussing a topic.

 

[Albatross]

White people suck at basketball. Who cares.

Black people suck at golf. Who cares.

 

[tatehill2000]

It's just interesting information. That is all..

 

[Bruins4Life]

There are FAR LESS black hockey players. Lets call it a push.

 

[KingEleven]

I agree with Tate! I would not care either EXCEPT it is ALWAYS thrown in our face the lack of black people in baseball, or coaching or this or that....but never a problem when it is the other way around? Why is that?

When there are not enough blacks, its called racism and when there are not enough whites it called they are not good enough or the above mentioned "who cares"...

Now for the real important stuff. How many Jews in the NHL? How many Muslims in the WWE?

 

[terps1313]

This is an extremely misleading thread as you are only including white americans... and I'm not sure why.

 

[tatehill2000]

Muslims aren't a race Guesser.. Jews however, yes, they are a race and a religion

Tell me what delineation you would like terps, I have the data on my desk

 

[sunshine11]

Any transgendered? Gays?

 

[tatehill2000]

Used to be, I lost some of that inside NBA stuff.. lol I used to do the hair of 2 laker players girlfriends.. and Boris diows girl. Much easier then.

 

[tatehill2000]

Luke Walton is gay.. that's the only current player (coach) I know at the top of my head

 

[Mr_Mark]

8 Teams Have 0 AMERICANS (the players if looked at them would look white, but are Russian/Canadian/Australian/S.African)

what are these teams?

 

[HugeUnderdog]

Yea, they are all in management.

 

[KingEleven]

Yea, they are all in management.

who is?

 

[HugeUnderdog]

White players/X players. It was meant to be a semi joke but Luke Walton comes to mind.

 

[The Guesser]

Muslims aren't a race Guesser.. Jews however, yes, they are a race and a religion

Tell me what delineation you would like terps, I have the data on my desk

They are both the same, Tate. Both Religions, both identified as Religions and Races. That's why haters of either/both are rightfully identified as racists.
