Asians and Jews don’t count for racial goodie points. In fact, in college affirmative action, Asians and Jews are far more discriminated against than whites.
There is nothing keeping blacks out of winter sports except their own lack of interest. Remember the Jamaican bobsled team? I don’t know anyone who was not rooting for them to make a good showing. Overcoming adversity trumps color every time!
Jamaican Bobsled team (must be Republicans)
For example, the Virginia Department of Minority Business defines a minority individual as an individual who is a citizen of the United States or a non-citizen who is in full compliance with United States immigration law and who satisfies one or more of the following definitions:
1. African American means a person having origins in any of the original peoples of Africa and who is regarded as such by the community of which this person claims to be a part.
2. Asian American means a person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, or the Pacific Islands, including but not limited to Japan, China, Vietnam, Samoa, Laos, Cambodia, Taiwan, Northern Mariana, the Philippines, a U.S. territory of the Pacific, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, or Sri Lanka and who is regarded as such by the community of which this person claims to be a part.
3. Hispanic American means a person having origins in any of the Spanish-speaking peoples of Mexico, South or Central America, or the Caribbean Islands or other Spanish or Portuguese cultures and who is regarded as such by the community of which this person claims to be a part.
The Republicans need to expose the Democrats as the real racists and bigots who provide people, including newly arrived immigrants, with special rights and privileges based on race, ethnicity, and gender. The definitions of Hispanic and Asian under Virginia law are ludicrous. They make no sense. What do Japanese, Chinese, Indians, and Filipinos have in common except being from the same geographic region of the globe? Similarly, Hispanics encompass all of Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula, i.e., the former colonialists. These types of classifications are reminiscent of those under apartheid in South Africa, which had four main groups with a number of sub-groups and even honorary whites. Republicans should take the lead in abolishing these discriminatory programs in post-racial America and use immigration as an example of the unfairness of these laws.
I’m trying to picture a luge with rims.

Isn’t this the guy who, when his mother was asked about him, said “everyone makes mistakes”? (Meaning having given birth to this creep was not anything she was proud of.)
I’m sure Gumbo must be a buddy of Zero’s.
Maybe blacks will have their own winter Olympics next time. They can hold it in Kenya.
Look what happens when a liberal sees a black man competing in politics.

Liberalism is a mental an emotional illness.
However we aren't gonna enslave them on welfare plantations to get and keep them.
Wake up Gumball!..... You've been Tommed!
Hey Bryant,
Why don’t YOU get off your fat heinie, do the WORK it takes and EXCEL at an Olympic event?? Huh?
Try skiing, or skating, or luge dude..
Takes a LOT of work and effort, don’t it?
Keep yer yap shut til you think these matters through next time and you won’t look like an idiot.
Gumble should not blame race, blame geography.
Beat me to it. Yeah, how ‘bout that Bryan?
Using Howard Dean's logic, the NBA must look like the waiters and busboys at a GOP convention.
“1. African American means a person having origins in any of the original peoples of Africa and who is regarded as such by the community of which this person claims to be a part.”
That’s an interesting formulation. It lets the crazies in the black community define who is black. So Clarence Thomas would not be black because Maxine Waters thinks he’s a white boy. Dark skinned kids who study in school could not be black, etc.
There are sun people, and there are ice people. Ask Leonard Jeffries for the details, Byrant.
