Want to you mean by perception?
Consider the following quote from this
Washington Post article.
"...In October, U.S. Lacrosse, the national governing body for the men’s and women’s game, released a strongly worded statement decrying the current recruiting climate. Stenersen said in a phone interview that the process undermines the youth sport culture and also threatens its rapid growth. He worries that raising the stakes in the club system could deny opportunities to “expand entry to the game beyond the stereotypical rich, white child.” The Washington Post is a liberal, socialist, rag... Why is there so much fuss about race? Let the kids who like the sport excel at the sport regardless of ethnicity. Where is the outrage from the Washington Post about the NBA or NFL??? These sports teams are overwhelmingly dominated by one race. Not one journalist has an issue with that.
That domination that you speak of is in relation to players.
Okay...80% of the NBA is black.....
And 68% of the NFL is Black too.....
But???? What is the percentage of Black ownership in both leagues? <1% in both. So...what is your beef? You have complaints about high paid employees....most of whom will be either dead or broke prior to age 50....possibly dying broke as well.
That is why the Washington Post has no outcry.
I know this may not have a place here(my apologies Sage) but....most minorities do not seek a handout. I don't and never did or will. Many of us just want to live life as you do; carefree and no worries of "is today the day that I get pulled over and the stuff hits the fan?" Or my wife can go into Macy's and not be tailed by loss prevention and have 10 sales associates ruin her day by asking for help.
Fine....I get it....just be honest about who you are and when called on your subtle bigotry; own up to it.
