While you say that it's BS and racist for for people to say "Only blacks could play b-ball", I think that a majority knows that a large percent of players are black. Another thing: someone mentioned earlier that it's almost like if saying white people shouldn't rap...okay...well, if there was an Asian person who decided to come over to the US and rap....do you think that a large majority would listen to it? I know that many probably wouldn't. To begin with, it's just odd to many that an Asian would rap...and I'm pretty sure that many would also say "Man, Asians should just not rap!" It's the same thing....why do you think an Asian rapper hasn't appeared in the US? And I know there are some Cantonese rappers/hiphop/R&B in Hong Kong (Johnny Cheung, for one) and he speaks English pretty well. But, he hasn't made it over here and he's popular in Hong Kong.

I was just a little...or very...angered at some of your comments made about Americans..... saying they would steal it and make it terrible but since Americans can't comprehend anything deep they would think it was just fine.... Calling us selfish because we would have it our own way.... etc. And yes there was a bit of mockery....

Yes, a large percent of blacks make up the NBA but there are whites that play it and are good at it. A good Asian example is Yao Ming.

I don't listen to rap music much because most of it just dumb. But if an Asian wanted to rap and could there would be somebody with a deal for him or her. It only seems strange because most rappers are black.

But I still think it is totally wrong for things to have to stay according to tradition. If things were still like that most women would be at home all day cooking dinner and cleaning the house. Or people would still be burned alive for being witches.

Maybe I'm just jealous? I have to sit at my computer and download the animes I want to watch. Then I have to read for 20 straight minutes. It just ticks me off.

And I'm sorry for insulting you... I'm usually not mean...but like I said I was really angry at some of the things you said because I am not like that.
