There's enough hispanic in there to cause some panic.

Are brazilians hispanic?

 

[THE HCP]

I think they use the term hispanic when they mean Latin.

I'm 50% PANIC!

Yao Ming is VERY large.

So does NeNe have to choose between "black" and "hispanic"? Does Jason Kidd count as 50% white? Is this chart 100% stupid?

Great question on the half black, half white players!

I vote for the chart being 100% stupid. I don't think it's consistent between sports. I know in Baseball, when they talk about black players they only (99% of the time) mean African Americans. The Latin American/Caribbean players of African decent are always labeled Latin (or Hispanic here). In basketball, they seem to generally lump the Euros with US born Caucasians.

Plus, any chart on race that doesn't include mixed or the option to select multiple races (not sure if that was an option here) is grossly over simplistic.

Oh, and totally off topic, but your screen name/avatar are great. I grew up on Tintin.

I assume the "other" category is for players who identify themselves as mixed race.

Wow I can't believe that the NBA is 20% white guys, I thought it was lower. These graphs make Asian people look really un-athletic LOL

There's only 400 or so players in the NBA... Yao and Yi alone make it 0.5%... I'm sure there's one or two other players that are Asian.

He's no anchor... fat floats! Believe me, I should know.

Why, do you use HCP for an air mattress or something?
