T-Wolves criticized for having too many white players

[Chill_Will_24]

I love how people are worried that there aren't enough people from one specific ethnicity... in this isntance Blacks. But what about Hispanics? And Jewish people? Nobody is calling the Lakers anti-semetic because they've never had a Jewish player on their roster (I don't know that for a fact, I actually just made it up, but it's more of a polemic arguement). Where is the ACLU when you need them!?

Farmar was a Jew lol

Rubio- Spain
Roy- black
Kirilenko- Russian
Love- white
Pekovic- Montenegran
Budinger- white
Cunningham- black
Stiemsma- white
Williams- black
Shved- Russian
Barea- Puerto Rican
Ridnour- white
Lee- black
Conroy- black

lots of internationals.

Lol, why do you keep putting this. It doesn't matter that they are European. They are still white!

Wow, what an ignorant response. By your logic, the Rockets should have signed more Chinese players to make JLin feel more comfortable in Houston. KLove also has many black friends, including his best friend from UCLA who happens to be black.

I don't think it's Love's wanting, he would probably rather play with the best player like Hawkeye mentioned rather than skin color. I just think its managements attempt to try to do what they think will be the best decision to try to keep Love. Based on how Love plays this upcoming season we will see how the few added white players will positively affect Loves play.

Even the black ones are white.

Good to know that Dante Cunningham is a racist, along with the chairman of St. Paul's African American leadership council. Bigots.

You think that because you like to think wrong things.

This is dumb.

They added BETTER PLAYERS, of course he will seem better. Race is a non-issue.

They made the decision to build around Love by signing good players to keep him there. WOW! What a revolutionary tactic.

[BuddhaMONK]

Real reason is that black's don't like the cold...that's why they wear toques and winter coats when it's 40C out.

LOL, it's stunning that you don't realize how ridiculous your comments are... If indeed true, which it is not, then the Twolves shud have tried surrounding Love with white players who spoke English.

We don't know if Cunningham is a racist? He, for all we know, was making an observation, and there's nothing wrong with that, especially if all of his teams in the past have been primarily all black.

Barkley made a similar comment when he was traded to the Suns. But he also added, "these white boys can play." And that's the way it should be.

Adelman loves his international guys. A lot of the time it is because they fit his style better.

I meant to say if the few added white players positively affect him or not
I think he plays the same way he played in his previous seasons.

[KnickaBocka.44]

It's a racism reversal. This guy, Terrell, is living in the past. It really pisses me off when people from minority groups take coincidence and try and turn it into conspiracy.

just let it go bro, let it go..

[LakersMaster24]

Still find it funny that a all black team is no problem, but a all white team is racist. Its not like Minny got those players because they were white. They got players who who were better than their former guys and happen to be white.

What happened to equality? Or does it only apply to non whites?
