To make a long story short, the think it's nowadays more a ME than WE and the author thought to describe sellfishbehaviour with Ghetto would make sense.
Why? In what way is the use of a heavily racialized stereotype to epitomize "what's wrong with basketball" not racist?
From the original article:He wrote btw nothing about street gangs.
Die breite – in der Mehrheit weiße – amerikanische Öffentlichkeit bringt dieses bewusst schlampige Outfit aber mit Straßengangs und der vornehmlich schwarzen Rapperszene in Verbindung.Do you remember the movie "White man can't jump" ? When Woody Harrelson said that a black man would rather loose a game than look bad ?Was there also assumptions of racism on this board ? Just curious.
It's a racist statement. You probably didn't read too much about it on this board because 1) the movie was released about 7 years before NikeTalk existed and 2) if someone wrote an entire article to try and substantiate that statement it would absolutely be widely criticized and discussed.
This isn't about Germany vs. the USA, it's about right vs. wrong.

loyalty is rewarded.
Kobe won his first 3 because Shaq abandoned the Orlando Magic. Pierce won his first ring in large part because Kevin Garnett forced a trade from Minnesota.
Jason Kidd wanted out of New Jersey. Selective interpretation.
