Lin's endorsement deal with Volvo
Posted by Tayday on 3/20/12 at 7:39 am00
How obvious is it that the only reason he got this endorsement is because of his race?
He got the endorsement because of his fame.
His fame is because he plays for a team in New York and was pretty good for a while when his team went on a nice winning streak. It is also because he is asian.
Volvo endorsement was not "because of his race".
Bad logic

maybe if he had a deal with BYD or Lifan, or some other Chinese auto company
He's an average NBA point guard. Why would any company give an average PG a 12 million dollar endorsement deal? China is the largest country in the world with basketball as its second most popular sport. If he was black, no way he gets this contract because of his marketability.

not obvious at all, at least to me it isn't. are Volvos popular with Asians? or is that a market they're trying to penetrate?

Why would you let an Asian advertise for your CAR company?
Asians suck at driving. Volvos are safe cars.
Match made in heaven.

Volvo Cars is owned by a Chinese company.

How does, "So What" sound?
Are you really that perturbed that someone might use their notoriety, and possible race, to increase their financial wealth?
