Yes. This is clearly and obviously discrimination against white people.

In fact, you know what? Most NBA players are very tall. Obviously 
discrimination against short people.

In fact, most NBA players are very thin. Obvious discrimination against 
fat people!

And hey, most NBA players are extremely fit. This discrimination against 
unfit people is totally unfair!!



It's not discrimination if people without the necessary skills can't get 
in. It's only discrimination if people who *do* have the necessary 
skills can't get in just because of their skin colour / other arbitrary 
irrelevant factor. People need to wake up and realise this.



This stuff is getting stupid. Where my mum works, there's this one black 
guy who's bone idle, lazy, incompetant, and has harassed female staff on 
more than one occasion. But every time somebody tries to fire him, it's 
"oh, this is racially motivated! This is unfair! I'm calling the 
police!" And the company backs down, and he gets to keep his job. WTF?

This is of course inverse discrimination; if a white guy did this, he'd 
be gone in 5 seconds flat...
