If she was welcomed there, what’s the problem? We’re supposed to be beyond race. I’m a pretty bad basketball player, but used to box and am have that kind of build. A friend and I were at a racially mixed YMCA and were the only ‘white guys’ in a pick up basketball game. After playing for maybe an hour one of the ‘African American’ guys we were playing against said “you guys are more like ‘beach guys’ than basketball players”. We all had a good laugh, and had a good time playing full court. People need to suck it up and quit being so ridiculously oversensitive.

I used to box at my gym in Los Angeles back in the misty days of yore. I was pretty good but eventually gave it up - they just kept throwing me blacks to pound on.

Strange as it seems, I can relate to the author of this piece
