I know you two USA cheerleaders like to think there is not a racist bone in any Americans’ bodies. Well check out this link from cbssportsline,

“Bivens’ tenure also saw a huge rise in the number of Korean players on her tour, up to 47 now, with another 35 playing on the Duramed Futures Tour. And while many of them also are talented and photogenic, they have not exactly been embraced by American golf fans, most of whom don’t know one of the 10 Kims in the field this week from the seven Lees also entered in the Open.
Former LPGA player Jan Stephenson, who let it be known this week she would love to replace Bivens as commissioner, once was properly excoriated for saying publicly that Asians were “killing women’s golf” and calling for quotas to limit their number on the LPGA Tour. She later apologized, saying she “did not intend to make it a racial issue.”
And yet, it’s an issue that remains the Ugly American elephant in the big tent of women’s golf, a sport that clearly needs U.S. players to push up to the highest reaches of the world rankings, the better to attract domestic corporate money to their sport and lucrative endorsement contracts to their personal bank accounts.”
The other nice thing about the South Koreans is they are good athletes without looking masculine. And how Jan Stephenson managed to swing around her chest, I’ll never know.
“I know you two USA cheerleaders like to think there is not a racist bone in any Americans’ bodies.”
I am well aware there is ampke racism in America.
The endless threads on how stupid Jews are come to mind personally.
The fact that 96% of blacks voted for Obama over Hillary also comes to mind.
As does Sotomayor, the tan bigot.
As does Colin Powel, the taupe bigot.
But I still had no idea it applied to ladies golf.
Just surprising.
The LPGA does not need a commissioner who apologizes for being correct.
