Making decisions based on the color of someone's skin? Like, "I can't admire this person because they're white"
How low is your IQ?

Feeling that an athlete's sports career is somehow more remarkable because of their skin color is straight up racism. If a spectator can only admire said athlete because their skin tone matches their own, that is also racism.

Kids don't normally care about this sort of thing, it's parents who teach their kids racism every day. But it's not normally children that express this sentiment, is it? If your kid likes an athlete more because they're the same skin color, you've failed as a parent but succeeded as a racist.

You have people on your side of the fence writing articles about racist white babies, but you have the nerve to talk about reality.

Why are people bringing up race? Especially when it is about being "Black". Why is it always about "Black"? This need to be stop! People can't get enough about using "Black" on anything.

Nah, you're one of those woke liberal types that think white babies are racist. Are children capable of racism, yes or no? Remember, I was speaking about adults, why you brought kids into this I don't know.

No it's not at 13 years old. The fact that his father was a former pro tells me he probably played a good amount as a youth "for fun", and then eventually decided he'd start playing in events. Not nearly as remarkable as you imply when you consider his background.
It actually is fairly remarkable

s this why US tennis has fallen off in the last two decades? When it comes to track, gymnastics, and swimming the US is as good as it has ever been. Basketball and baseball (and to an extent, golf) have more international competition but the US remains dominant. Soccer and hockey have improved as youth programs have gotten much more professionally run. So that really leaves tennis as the one sport in my lifetime that the US has fallen off. Of course the dominance of the Williams sisters has covered over that on the women’s side until recen
The US is actually looking pretty good at tennis right now

Right this is a good period for US tennis.
But I mean from the Agassi retirement to 2020 or so, the tennis landscape was barren for US men while everything else flourished.

And just like that you’ve eliminated and entire white line of people.
It’s amazing that when a white lineage meets a black lineage….pooof…it makes a black lineage.
