>I don't see too many Asians in the NBA. Maybe at some point they were actively excluded from playing, AMIRITE? Such a ridiculous example. You're talking about 400 people. I'm talking about 12% of the US population. Considering that living conditions are generally better in white areas than they are in black areas, you'd think that at least places near cities with black populations would always be at least a couple percent black. You can understand why, say, Maine, Vermont, North Dakota, Wyoming, etc might not be. But places near Chicago or Detroit or Atlanta or Toledo? Hell, there are towns around NYC that didn't stop being "sundown towns" until the late '90s. >Come on, dude, just because there's a lack of diversity in a given area doesn't mean there was an active conspiracy going on. Yeah, it does. There are THOUSANDS of towns that openly denied blacks (and to a lesser extent, Asians, Latinos, Jews....) the right to live there. And many others that made it very unpleasant for them. Sundown towns are real. Redlining is real. White flight is real. You can ignore these things, but that's on you. -Z
