POLL: Do you feel that this Board as it discusses football has shown racist tendencies? More than just some random poster. Does this mom have a point? I’d assume correctly or not

Is it true that if BYU lowered its standards that as you said other claim more minority’s

To play devil's advocate, how is someone saying they would love to see a black

It's the use of the word "brotha" when talking about it. Just say I'd love to see more black athletes at byu

And yes, I consider the Rooney rule racist. I think affirmative action is racist. I think we need to treat people

This argument is racist by your own definition of racism....

Bull. Wanting a black qb is not racist

But most of the truly elite athletes wouldn't get in based on academic standards

"racist tendencies" is a rather ambiguous term

I have seen people speculate that Kalani's Polynesian culture inside the locker room is too laid back

It's not racist, it's attacking their culture, not their race.

So just bigoted, or at least ethnocentric?

That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Race is culture or at the very least they are linked together.

Saying that race is a biological construct is really racist. Seriously.

Would you mind expounding on that? I disagree, but I want to know why you

To say "All Polynesians are lazy" is singling out a race, therefore is racist. Just like calling

You really need to expand that as I think some of what is perceived as racism

Good read- thanks- there’s bound to be issues with this poll- I’m just trying to get a general gage on how other think

I answered no, but I guess it depends on your definition of racism. The post
