Re: Racial diversity in the NHL and other sports (moved posts)
I guess I am just living the pipe dream that skin color has nothing to do with anything.
I don't care that Obama was the first black President, to me he is the 44th President...period
I don't care that Tiger Woods was the first black golfer to win the Masters, to me he is just a great golfer
Etc.
It just seems to me that making a big deal over someone of a certain *(race, gender, sexuality, color, etc.) being successful is very demeaning to their *(race, gender, sexuality, color, etc.). Almost like "Oh my God, about time a *(woman, black person, brown eyed guy with a lisp) actually accomplished something."
Rap music is pretty popular with suburban white kids without any diversity. White people have Eminem...and Vanilla Ice...
