I think he's right to some degree, but I don't it's because he's "not black" as he makes it seem. The point made at the end I especially agree with and I think is definitely true

There would probably also be a lot of hype if, say, a black golfer came out of Stanford and started winning golf majors. Or if, just hypothetically, two black sisters from Compton dominated the world of tennis.

He's absolutely not right. If Lin was named Jeremy Washington adn came from Harvard undrafted with the same story, then I'd bet the attention would be just as high.
But, like the writer of the article said, Blacks get their due too. (williams sisters, Tiger Woods)
