When a company doesn't have enough black employees its racist.

When a basketball team is all black its normal and proper.

That's why the refs made sure they didn't.

Their black point-guard meant they were 20% black. In leftist, color-counting, affirmative-action terms, they are already above where they need to be to match blacks’ share of US population.

Wisconsin is then the minority,why are you picking on them?
The majority of the teams are obviously racists,white people haters,castigate them,and why are there no women or gays ? We are into inclusion,no more separate but equal.

Duke used to be the “white guy” team.

13 of Wisconsin's 16 roster players were from MN, WI, or northern IL. (The rest are 2 OH and 1 CA.) They are a team made up of local talent, with an incredible coach.

Duke has one local kid, from Raleigh... their only other player within a 5 hour drive is from DC. One is from Nigeria

UK's closest starter is from Indianapolis, a 3 hour drive from Lexington... but they did have 3 KY residents.

When you wonder about their composition, you simply have to realize that UW cannot draw talent from warm-weather areas, nor can they draw top prospects away from the top programs in NC, KY, IN, and KS. They get local kids, and WI is 89 percent White, and 5.4 percent black. With 16 roster spots, having just ONE black player makes them over-represented at 6.7 percent. If you want to get to racial quotas, this is what you're going to get.

(I can't wait to see UCLA and the other CA programs with 13 percent Asian and 37 percent Hispanic players.)

Isn’t the term for photoshopping in a black guy “african-american in the woodpile?”

Wisky is even more diverse...how many D1 teams have a Native American starting Point Guard? Bronson Koenig is actually better than Traevon Jackson IMHO.

Has this mental giant indicated what the proper racial makeup of any certain team is supposed to be? Are they going to be designated by the racial mix of the local populace? Or is he saying that basketball is a “black” sport?
