The NCAA has recently found that the European-caucasian basketball players were drastically under-represented in Division I basketball programs, and has mandated a "diversity" "goal" as follows: Coaches must recruit and sign E-C players so that the final squads include at least 40% E-C players. Starting lineups will be required to include at least two (2) "white" players, and "white" players must play at least 40% of the total minutes played.
This minimal "diversity" goal is said to be a "good start," with the ultimate goal being to have the players and minutes reflect the racial reality of 90% of the (legitimate) students ad D-I schools being "white," and at least 90% of the students in the stands having similar racial characteristics.
Questions to ponder:
Will "Black" students and players now look askance at any "white" player on the basketball squad, and assume that he is a "diversity" player?
Will Black players make snide remarks to the White players about how they never would have been able to play without the NCAA's "diversity" bullshit.
Will common fans assume that every White player is a "diversity" player?
Should the White players be offended when they hear such remarks?
Would Black observers be justified in assuming that these White players are "taking away opportunities that should have gone to deserving - and better - Black players"?
Is any of this analogous to "Black" students who are accepted and go to Ivy League schools?
