I counted 38 white guys. I didn't look at the names just the faces.

I'll let the experts like @Dennis_DeYoung divy up the non-whites because I'm not sure what constitutes black anymore after reading this thread.

Counted 34 white faces for our Dawgs... Who's the racist now?!?!?!?!!?!!

This is seriously embarrassing shit.

Walk ons.

If you guys want to live in a world where UW didn't pivot to recruting more Poly and to a lesser degree white dudes and far less black dudes in the last two classes then have fun.

We are in a post-fact world anyway.

You get proven wrong and this is your reply? What the fuck is your point? Poly culture jives tremendously well with Pete's culture, and that's why we're cleaning house in Poly recruiting. Pete would be stupid to not pursue that angle. We're not required to fill a race quota here. We go after guys who want to be Dawgs and grind. We're not going to pursue primadonnas and jive ass motherfuckers. It doesn't matter if they're black, white, yellow, or blue. I can't believe this shit.

No shit. No shit. No shit. No shit.

Did you not read my original post where I said obviously our recruiting approach and OKG/Built for Life theme is not intentionally racist but that it has had an adverse impact- namely- less black players?

That doesn't mean that the poly movement is bad or a net negative or unfair or anything else. Just means that we are prone to being negatively recruited by Oregon with certain recruits.

Oregon's 2019 recruiting class by my estimation:

17 black
5 poly
5 white (3 non Kicker/QB category)

UW:

10 poly
6 black
6 white
1 asian

Also I'm not going to go into DDY's one/two black parents theory but lets just say #teamlightskin appear to be much higher represented at UW than Oregon.

8 of those black players came from Florida, Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee. You know, where Cristobal recruits. You know, where there's a lot more black football players than out west. UW got a lot of guys from Hawaii. You know, where they recruit. You know, where there's lots of Poly guys. Nice use of one data point that can be easily explained. You were saying something about considering other variables?

So you now concede there is a significant difference in roster makeup, especially in the last two classes?

Thanks. That was my entire point.

I don't care about how/why we reached that outcome. In fact I said multiple times CP and staff are obviously not intentionally racist.

But if their strategy and approach lead to outcome of less black players then we will be negatively recruited on that basis.

It is what it is. If you want to put blinders on and pretend that Oregon is being underhanded rather than simply playing the cards they are dealt then that is on you.

By saying they're not intentionally racist, you're saying they're racist.

Disagree, but if you feel I need to make it clearer I will re-state.

CP and staff have no racist animus, intent, or unconscious bias.

But their recruiting process still has a disparate impact on black recruits as evidenced by the demographic shift to more poly and white players and less black players.

We could use the same argument for Poly bias against Oregon. "Hey, Makalakafakalua, look here, Oregon only took 5 Polys in the last class and we took 10! Oregon culture clearly doesn't fit with Poly culture like it does at UW. You wouldn't fit in there."

I was told that bias is often conflated as racism, when in fact they are not the same thing. Quit stoking the fires.

I'm glad the wokest and most progressive of our fans are perpetuating the myth that our program is somehow excluding black people with 2 black parents. Not mixed black people, not black people with African parents, but only black people from black American families. How long does Ngata or Onwuzerikes or Ulofoshios family have to be in the US for in order to cross into the "black, black" not "african black" subgenre? Or do they have an African last name so it doesnt count? No one knows except the wokest of the woke among us.

The entire premise is so fucking flawed I feel like Im taking crazy pills. We have white coaches, 3 black coaches, 2 poly coaches, and a middle eastern looking coach. We have probably the most diverse roster of players in the country. We had a Chinese all american play safety for us. Our other safety was black and filipino.

This whole thread is a black eye for the program that is based on a fucking lie. It actually pisses me off. We have a player's mom saying youre full of shit. We have black NFL players that love the program and actively recruit for it on twitter.

DDY is entitled to his opinions, but he seems to be someone who only sees color while mocking those who think people should be judged on merit and character....

Nuke this fucking thread
