Jeremy lin says: People critizes him because of his race

[topdog]

as an Asian, I can tell you asians getopenly picked on more by every other race due to the stereotype that asians are passive therefore we're easy to pick on. I experienced it as a kid, seen it happen to others in high school, and I still experience it some time when I play pick up baskerball. I mean...thonk about it...you hear people say "ching chong ching" a lot more often than the n word or wetback.

There are a lot of stereotypes out there still for every race. An Asian kid in grade school tried to make fun of me for being white (I just ignored him). Is that ironic or just the reality of some certain people in general being ignorant/douches?

[Tymathee]

No...its cuz you're not so good outside of mike d'antoni coaching you.

then again, i'm black, i have no idea how the other races see asians, i just know they can't drive.

Lin turned his back on ny.. Sad some people still believe that. And when u see people turn on u because of the attention ur getting race plays a role. Players calling u overpaid from ur own team tells u all u need to know

[Tysons_Beard]

everyone faces race issues, at least hes making a ****load of money

and he DID weasel his way out of new york, he didnt want to be here...the knicks were going to match the original offer, he could of told dolan right then and there "listen im going to go back to the rockets to try to get some more money"...he didnt, he did it behind the knicks back like a sneaky little weasel because he wanted to piss the knicks off so they didnt match it

Thank you!, I don't get how some knick fans act like he never did anything wrong. He agreed to to a contract then secretly flies into vegas mind you while both dolan and grunwald were there at summer league and signs another contract and didn't say a thing. After that there was no way he could be brought back, and im glad the knicks didn't match! Because for one if he played this bad they would blamed it on melo and it would have turned into a disaster.

Lin has the lib mentality. Libs love to play the race card, it's pathetic.

The Knicks could have just simply made him an offer. Instead, they said "Go out and get the contract you want and we'll match." I don't know how you can blame Lin for whatever happened after that.

Considering the knicks claimed they would " match up to a Billion dollars!"

I disagree. I think its because of his contract. I still root for him and think he will be fine.

[Hawkeye15]

the media blew him up to a level rarely seen in athletes, out of nowhere. Apparently Lin doesn't understand the consequences of being famous yet....

its cause he can't go left

[StarvingKnick22]

No, its because you suck. 6 turnovers isn't worth bragging about.

[xxplayerxx23]

No he doesnt suck
