Z, There has to be a reason for it. That reason could be benign. In this case, it's not. There can be no benign reason in the eyes of liberals who are focused on equalizing outcomes instead of equalizing opportunity. The reason why the NBA is majority black with very few Asians is the reason most people want to avoid mentioning in public. It's just pure biology. Black people tend to be taller and more athletic than Asians. I still remember waiting in line for a Korea vs. Japan baseball game in Anaheim. I remember being able to see the top of most people's heads, and I'm not THAT tall. As for why towns still exhibit racial segregation, that's mainly due to people of a given race tending to hang out with their own. Koreans tend to congregate around the "Koreatowns" of every metropolitan area; there's no active conspiracy here to exclude other races (even though 1st-generation Korean immigrants can be very racist). You should know better than anyone else where Jews like to hang out; that's not the result of anti-Semites zoning Jews in certain areas, correct? Remember how Ray Nagin wanted New Orleans to be a "chocolate city"? Why is that not deemed "racist" by the mainstream media? What about the history of New Orleans and the Cajuns who immigrated there from Canada? This is just a small sample of the many factors leading to racial segregation these days. You can't just paint all of these factors with a broad brush and call it "racism" because that's both oversimplifying the problem and being overly judgmental. Techusatsu
