    Black people: “yeah I definitely see how OKG stuff could be construed as racist”

    White people: “I don’t”

    I get what you're saying and claiming. Labeling OKG as racist, though, implies that Petersen deliberately puts up standards that he believes/thinks/knows that poor black kids can't meet. I don't think that's what you actually believe. If you want to say Pete's OKG standards are biased against people from certain backgrounds I think you'd get more traction there, and I would probably agree with you on some level. Outright and intentional racism though?
    Watching white people squirm is entertaining.

    I appreciate you trying to help out my traction, but I'm doing fine thanks. Only white people don't understand this issue.

    Great non-answer, as always. I give you credit for sticking to your guns no matter how irrational you might sound. Yes, I get it. You're black and only you can understand racism because of that fact. I should trust you when you call something racist no matter how irrational that claim may be.

    I love white paternalism. I know you understand racism better than us, please educate me and my people how we can serve you better and make you more comfortable!

    Sorry for being IRRATIONAL!!! Really sucks to be labeled as irrational. Hate that. I enjoy the calm, clear reasoning of the white mind.

    Oh, Sav'ell dropped us. Did you hear? Wanna know why?

    Nah, never mind.

    A policy or procedure can be racist even if not intentionally so if it has a disparate impact.

    We can get into a debate over structural racism in current society and in history and why black people on average are worse off socioeconomically, educationally, criminally. We can also get into a debate over fast strategy/slow strategy theory of culture.

    But we don't need to. All that matters is that UW is recruiting and signing black players at what is the lowest rate in my lifetime so the disparate impact is clearly present.

    Whether that is random chance or because we just decided that we had great momentum with Polys or because OKG is unintentionally racist is arguably up for debate. Maybe its all three.

    But the perception of bias/racism is out there and is being used by our rivals.

    So CP needs to make changes and adapt. It isn't going away.
