I read that Spaniards consider themselves white if they are in Spain, but Hispanics if they are in Los Angeles.
That sounds like complete bullshit. All indigenous Europeans regard themselves as white. As do Arabs and most Indians (who are literally Caucasians). Only Americans (and possibly Canadians) would think that your race depends on what language you speak.

I think it is more important here in the U.S. to distinguish who is white and who is not........ so we know who to blame everything on.
In Europe, they don't really care.

If only that were true. There's PLENTY of racism in Europe, but there's also nationalism and regional bias... Weird thing is that Black Americans tend to be less targets of it than Black Europeans or Africans, which is why people like James Baldwin and Josephine Baker moved to Paris.

I know there is plenty of racism in Europe. My point is they don't care about all the different categories to choose from when filling out a form.
  • American Indian or Alaska Native.
  • Asian.
  • Black or African American.
  • Hispanic or Latino (previously asked in a separate question on ethnicity.)
  • Middle Eastern or North African (MENA; new).
  • Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander.
  • White
In Europe, I don't think they really care about all that stuff. Nor do they care if everyone in their country blames whitey for their problems.
 
Exactly. That was my point. How accurate can their rating system be? What are they basing it on?

probably the 1,800 games, 17 all-star appearances, and 20 all-NBA selections they have combined for
 
AD misses two free throws opening the door for the Magic to shock the Lakers with this 3-pointer by Franz Wagner.

Class act and 6'8 wing Rodney Hood retired after 8 seasons in the NBA and his last in the G league after an injury. Rodney was a big part of our Western Conference Finals run. I wish him continued success beyond his playing career. Good dude!
 

I see the east complaining about this quite a bit, but honestly, this would allow more East teams to get somewhat better draft lottery odds and positions than they currently do...

I prefer keeping conferences. I also liked it better when the division champion got homecourt advantage.

At least we're not the Pelicans (Pelican'ts - amirite?)

It’s really hard for some to give POR any credit. Dunno why
 
Just realized the Blazers can’t fire Chauncey until after they trade the vets because to admit we’re doing a big coaching change would tank the value of our vets
