Exactly. Certain races just dominate a sporting event (the Super Bowl being one of the exceptions). The NBA All-Star Game has become an event where so many black entertainers come out and throw parties, more than anybody. That's just the way it is.

I guess I'm the only one that doesn't see the World as White/Black/Asian/Hispanic.

When I watch sports I don't cheer for "my race" I cheer for "my team"

LOL, I don't think anyone here meant any of that. You're taking it too far. We're just saying what types of entertainers different sporting events attract. No need to go all MLK on us bro...

you may not cheer for your race but certain races have the sports they are more inclined to.

Blacks have always overwhelmingly flocked to Basketball and Boxing
latins to baseball and Football
Americans to American football and baseball
And flapping heads to Hockey

its not that you have to cheer for your race its just that for most white americans the superbowl is the big event

for Blacks a comparable event would be the All star game

for latins it would be the World Cup.

Nothing racist in calling the World Cup the Latin Superbowl or the All star game the Black Superbowl.

I find it funny that so many people are willing to cry "racist" over silly terminology, while simultaneously being ignorant of the real instances of racism and euro-centricism that are inconspicuously institutionalized in our lives each and every day.
