BleedCougarBlue2 Walk-on

On a serious note, there has been some racism on this board, but it's gone both ways....directed at both Polynesians AND whites, at times.

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

Some of this is simple demographics though

How does this comment "To get real athletes we need to lower our standards" show

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.

They are very different

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 said "race is culture or at the very least they are linked together."

Ethnicity is culture. Race is primarily a social construct based on skin color

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

That post is a troll post.

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

Here’s a thought- try not getting to invested in a message board poll

Stop being racist and attacking people from Poland as poorly written.

It's pretty unreasonable to expect a post to be deleted the second it is posted.
