Probably because those countries have very restrictive immigration policies and have very small non white populations. They aren’t exactly very “welcoming”.

Again. An old rich white Jew is preaching to the crowd about wealth and privilege.

probably Norway or Switzerland or some place like that


Yup. And you drop the city of Chicago in either of those countries, and they will have all kinds of racism.

The United States is the most unique country we've ever seen, and that seems to be our downfall during the SJW revolution.

Why is it that people always mention America's racism problem and offer nothing else like it's somehow magically gonna fix itself?

Starts by pointing out the obvious importance in a league as diverse as the NBA.
How is the NBA diverse? It's like 75% black and 25% white. There may be like 3 Asians and Hispanics in the whole league.

Gives credibility to the idea that diversity is simply a code word to mean "not white".

Interesting that Asians, Jews, Indians and Hispanics don’t seem to be having any issues climbing the economic ladder in this country. Why is that, Pop?
Since they didn't go through the type of slavery that black people did in this country, I'm pretty sure it was easier for their families to bring, accumulate, and keep their wealth.

That said, Pop needs to settle tf down.

He’s really gone over the top with this bullshite.. generalities and wide proclamations by him are not true and don’t help.. are there racists.. absolutely and that will always be especially when you are a country this diverse.. but to label the whole because of a few is dangerous

This thread isn't about that team that we will demolish if they are unlucky enough to play us in the playoffs. Even Popovich sees it's over. So does Manu, who said they are a group of talentless hacks the other day.

Rockets have surpassed the Spurs, and that will be clear in this year's playoffs.
