does it really bother you that much that Asains have their own basketball association while if whites did it its considered racist? we've still got hockey, Nascar, golf (again, cause Tiger is awful right now), and MMA. We've had our own exclusive clubs for a
Millennium
....its called "being white and all the perks and joys that come along with it because we've always thought we were superior anyway" i don't need a whites only anything to make things feel equal to all the other different folks who'd like to have their own thing for themselves cause i feel pretty damn good about being white as it is.

Actually that is incredibly wrong lol. As of the early 1700s, nearly 90 percent of the worlds gdp was generated by 2 countries in Asia, China and india. Europe has only become the leading power of the world (including the US) in recent years. The superior belief doesn't really count as well, cause I do believe that "civilized" Europe at its height during the Roman era, was still light years behind the height of both the Mongol, Ming, and every Indian dynasty up to the Mughals. Plus nascar, and golf are more or less sports that take a certain monetary requirement to play
. I would say that MMA is quickly becoming a "interracial" sport, in which blacks, asians, and latinos will quickly balance out the "white" majority. Look at the champs in both the UFC and SF and Bellator.

panda, i wasn't talking about white exclusivity in terms of population. I'm talking about how white culture has treated different races as inferior throughout history despite not being the majority. Also, one race can most certainly believe its superior despite what other dynasties were doing back then, and despite what census numbers show us today. While i will agree that MMA is becoming more and more diverse and at possibly a much faster rate than any sport before it, the number of champions and competitors at the top levels are still mostly white Americans. Believe me, i'm glad the scales are tipping....but i think you're reading what i'm saying incorrectly if you don't think that whites, overwhelmingly, throughout history have considered themselves superior to other races.
