    Look at the percentage of black people in wa versus florida...

    3.6% in WA

    17% in Florida

    26.5% in Alabama

    37.5% Mississippi
    This is a shocking development. States that had slavery have a higher percentage of black people?

    Except we're not talking about the population percentages of a state, we're talking about the demographics of a football team not needing to be reflective of their region. But I'm going to dip out of this conversation, I can see we've reached maximum sewage wallowing levels.

    No one is saying the football team is going to mirror the state demographics. But the demographics are sure as shit going to have an impact.

    The Poly pivot was the right fucking move, I can't see how anyone would disagree with that. I'd argue it's the best fucking thing we have done in recruiting in the Pete era with the possible exception of hiring Jimmy Lake.

    I agree it makes us less black. It makes us less white too.

    Most importantly it makes us a better, more talented football team.
    This.

    If Iran started producing the best football athletes in the world and we signed 10 middle eastern 5 star players, I WOULD BE FUCKING ECSTATIC.

    Our best recruiter is a Polynesian alumni from Hawaii who happens to relate well to other Polynesian high school kids. There is nothing wrong with that! Our coaching staff is incredibly diverse.

    I didn't say it wasn't the right move.

    I said there were tradeoffs.

    PGOS wants it both ways- benefiting from emphasis on poly community with no fallout from signing less black players.

    And the sample size is small but no evidence of becoming less white if anything its the opposite compared to historical UW recruiting.

    Is the argument that Peterson has high standards for character, discipline and teamwork and those standards keep out black players? If you think that, I’d suggest you’re a racist.

    I'm not reading all this.

    Are we? arguing that UW isn't black enough and it's because Pete is uncomfortable with black culture? Is that it?

    God, you're so fucking close to making sense. You're like 99% of the way there...
