“South Korean speed skaters”

Asians and Jews don’t count for racial goodie points. In fact, in college affirmative action, Asians and Jews are far more discriminated against than whites.

There is nothing keeping blacks out of winter sports except their own lack of interest. Remember the Jamaican bobsled team? I don’t know anyone who was not rooting for them to make a good showing. Overcoming adversity trumps color every time!

But Asians do qualify for state and federal affirmative action programs and minority business set asides.

For example, the Virginia Department of Minority Business defines a minority individual as “an individual who is a citizen of the United States or a non-citizen who is in full compliance with United States immigration law and who satisfies one or more of the following definitions:”

1. “African American” means a person having origins in any of the original peoples of Africa and who is regarded as such by the community of which this person claims to be a part.

2. “Asian American” means a person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, or the Pacific Islands, including but not limited to Japan, China, Vietnam, Samoa, Laos, Cambodia, Taiwan, Northern Mariana, the Philippines, a U.S. territory of the Pacific, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, or Sri Lanka and who is regarded as such by the community of which this person claims to be a part.

3. “Hispanic American” means a person having origins in any of the Spanish-speaking peoples of Mexico, South or Central America, or the Caribbean Islands or other Spanish or Portuguese cultures and who is regarded as such by the community of which this person claims to be a part.

The Republicans need to expose the Democrats as the real racists and bigots who provide people, including newly arrived immigrants, with special rights and privileges based on race, ethnicity, and gender. The definitions of Hispanic and Asian under Virginia law are ludicrous. They make no sense. What do Japanese, Chinese, Indians, and Filipinos have in common except being from the same geographic region of the globe? Similarly, “Hispanics” encompass all of Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula, i.e., the former colonialists. These types of classifications are reminiscent of those under apartheid in South Africa, which had four main groups with a number of sub-groups and even “honorary whites.” Republicans should take the lead in abolishing these discriminatory programs in post-racial America and use immigration as an example of the unfairness of these laws.

“Bryant Gumbel”

Isn’t this the guy who, when his mother was asked about him, said “everyone makes mistakes”? (Meaning having given birth to this creep was not anything she was proud of.)

I’m sure Gumbo must be a buddy of Zero’s.

Maybe blacks will have their own winter Olympics next time. They can hold it in Kenya.

If there were blacks competing Gumbel would not be lamenting the absence of black competitors he'd be lambasting the black competitors as Oreo cookies and traitors to the black race. I bet.

Look what happens when a liberal sees a black man competing in politics.

Gee Bryant, we'd love to have more Blacks in the GOP.

However we aren't gonna enslave them on welfare plantations to get and keep them.

Hey Bryant,

It is just a case of geography. The Northern Hemisphere has more land area,with colder climates.

Gumble should not blame race, blame geography.

What does the NBA look like?

Using Howard Dean's logic, the NBA must look like the waiters and busboys at a GOP convention.

“1. “African American” means a person having origins in any of the original peoples of Africa and who is regarded as such by the community of which this person claims to be a part.”

That’s an interesting formulation. It lets the crazies in the black community define who is black. So Clarence Thomas would not be black because Maxine Waters thinks he’s a white boy. Dark skinned kids who study in school could not be black, etc.

There are sun people, and there are ice people. Ask Leonard Jeffries for the details, Byrant.
