Breaking: AP Still Hates Whitey
December 14th, 2006 at 1:11 pm by Preston Taylor HolmesWhile taking a little rare time out for lunch today, I came across a headline in the ass-end of our local rag’s Sports section. Headline: Study: Whites Dominate NCAA Leadership.
This is obviously unbiased, cutting-edge news gathering, so let’s take a closer look at journalistic excellence in action.
Athletic directors, conference commissioners and university presidents overwhelmingly are white, the study released Wednesday by the University of Central Florida’s Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport found.
Aaaah, now we’re getting somewhere. UCF’s Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport put some of their alleged minds together to come up with a study that — SHOCK! — vilifies white men and the NCAA in one fell swoop. This is good stuff. The table is now set for hilarity. I wonder how deep this AP newshawk had to dig to find a study which so neatly fit his agenda. Onward ho, diversity police!
Positive change = Throw whitey from the train.
Basketball was a bright spot of sorts, but even in that sport 25.2 percent of all Division I head coaches were black (an all-time high), and yet blacks made up 57.8 percent of Division I basketball players.
This is puzzling. According to the 2000 Census, blacks make up 12.3% of the overall population. Therefore, blacks are grossly over-represented as both players and coaches in college basketball. Consequently, I am in the planning process of organizing a committee of one to study this race inequity in college basketball. If we have to have quotas for white players and coaches, that will just have to be the way it is. Less dunky, more passy.
And of that 9.3 percent, only 75 percent of those coaches admitted to being lesbians, which is considered low when compared to the rest of womens’ college basketball. But we’re talking about race here, not who likes to have a box lunch after practice.
Ooooh. Speaking of that, it’s unironic that the ABC News website ran this picture of Donna Shalala along with their story…
The NCAA’s vice president for Diversity and Inclusion, Charlotte Westerhaus, said NCAA headquarters was demonstrating leadership but there still was progress to be made throughout college sports.
“We want to celebrate the progress but at the same time we want to acknowledge that we are not where we could be as far as diversity,” Westerhaus said. “The NCAA is doing everything we can to support our membership in effectuating open and fair hiring practices.”
Again, blacks are over-represented at NCAA Headquarters and something should be done about that – also, at what point did women become “minorities”? Even more importantly, where can I get a job like “Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion”? All you have to do is sit around your office and divide people up by race and fire off the occasional report that says “there be too many whiteys up in here.”
I think the Buffet needs a Vice President of Diversity and Inclusion. I nominate annika.

Well, annika might be alright, just as long as she realizes the unfair treatment and bigotry oppressing the Swamp Rabbit minority. After all, we are a protected species here in Indiana, as it should be throughout the entire planet. Oh, and another thing, all these jokes about bears sh*ting in the woods and using rabbits as toilet paper have gotta’ stop! And the whole Bugs Bunny is gay stereotype thing has injured the Swamp Rabbit community for far too long and must also stop! I won’t even get into the Peter Rabbit is a liar discussion, which must also stop! Think you can correct these atrocities annika?
P.S. (if it helps, I’m more than willing to be a shameless victim whore, but lets just keep that between you and me, okay?)

Let’s go ahead and take this idiocy to the extreme. Take an army division (101st as an example). Study shows that 89.7% of the soldiers in the division are under six feet tall. Then the primary qualification for a general to command the division should be that he is no more then 5 feet 11 inches tall just so he is representative of the division he commands.
December 14th, 2006 at 5:07 pm
I nominate myself to head the “Department Of All Things Jew”. There has to be enough funding to pay me 6 figures to sit around and make sure that 2% of the religious census of the USA is fairly represented.
Fukk diversity! Diversity is perversity (where have I heard that before?!). Whatever happened to unity?!
December 14th, 2006 at 6:12 pm
I have it on good authority that the article was originally going to be “Blacks overrepresented in UCF vs. Univ of Miami brawl,” but they changed it to this instead.
December 14th, 2006 at 7:08 pm
I’ll shed a tear when my people are represented proportionately in Pro Football.
December 14th, 2006 at 8:47 pm
Oh no you di’unt, Ken. UCF has a lot to be proud of.
December 14th, 2006 at 9:09 pm
I’ve always equated this getting excited over college sports with an unhealthy interest in what happens in minor league baseball. Or worse, indie films versus studio pix. Even worserer, dinner theater versus Broadway. Isn’t college a place to get drunk, get laid, get graduated and move the hell on? And if not, why not?
Rats. Sorry. Forgot about the money thing…
December 14th, 2006 at 11:23 pm
I’ll deal out the minority cards.
December 14th, 2006 at 11:48 pm
Yiddish…where the hell did you get your numbers?
As any alleged Jewish person would know, THREE POINT TWO (3.2%) percent of the American population is Jewish.
And of those 3.2%, EIGHTY FOUR (84%) percent voted for Democrats in the last election.
Also, I have been doing further research on our people and have found this:
93% think that their mom makes the best brisket
38% have never even TRIED gifilte fish
18% can’t SPELL “gifilte fish”
48% secretly loathe Barbara Streisand
and 99.9% (me being the only exception) think Jimmy Carter is a total asshole.

I would like to be on the board.
You’ve got the trifecta with me–
Jewish
Female
Liberal
BTW, Yiddish, Happy Hanukkah!
December 15th, 2006 at 7:27 am
I can only support Annika’s appointment if she will submit to an intensive tanning session.
December 15th, 2006 at 7:36 am
Sharon,
You really should stop calling yourself a “liberal”. I would more aptly classify you as a “moderate” (who keeps walking toward the “light”).
Of course maybe next to all of us Wingnuts, you FEEL like a liberal.
BTW, if Annika will not acdept her post, then I will 2nd Sharon’s nomination…

Happy Chanukkah Sharon, J. Ryan, Gordon, and Cranky. I’ve got my shamis candle, titanium dreidel, and a pocket full of gelt, just waiting for sundown. BTW… Shabbat shalom. Chanukkah starting on the shabbis?! Well, grab my c’hai pendant and draw “18″ over everything that’s made of paper.
December 15th, 2006 at 11:06 am
J. Ryan,
Are you sure about that stat?? 3.2%?! Sounds inflated to me. Then again, i’m going off of 90’s census data. And you know those Jewish women… FRISKY YENTAS!
I have your answers:
My mom is definitely in that 93%. Mom’s brisket rokks!! \m/ (So does her baba lash)
I’ve tried gifilte fish… More than once… It sucks. With a taste so bad, how could you ever forget how to spell gifilte fish?!
Barbara Streisand sucks! I have to dispute that 48% claim. The older generations that have worshipped the ground that Babs walks on are reaching their expiration dates and their offspring are not taking that baton hand off.
Jimmy Carter = Asshole… I would be hard-pressed to find a single member of my temple to refute that claim. Jimmy Carter is a schmuck and a putz.
L’chaim

Happy Chanukkah to y’all as well.
Yid, This “J. Ryan” is actually a sock puppet for the real troll “j. ryan”.
Think of it as j. ryan lite, all the flavor and 30% less a$$hole than the real one.
You’re comment is still valid, however.
December 15th, 2006 at 12:20 pm
PTH, I was just trying to point out how annoyingly stupid studies like this are. You can find under- or over-representation in everything.
December 15th, 2006 at 1:32 pm
Cranky,
I know who you are talking about. I think even he would agree that he is every bit as much of an asshole as the real J.Ryan…probably more so in fact.
BTW, I ran into the real J.Ryan over at The Jawa Report. He is STILL throwing Jewish voting statistics around over there. The commenters there are pretty sick of him.
Personally, I hope he (the real one) comes back soon. But one way or another, I think J.Ryan might be a consistent “contributer” here.
Ah…and Happy Chanukkah to Sharon, Yiddish, Cranky…and even to you, J. Ryan. From a Christian, wishing peace and love for you and your families.
December 15th, 2006 at 3:01 pm
I’m with ya, Ken. I had totally forgotten that it was UCF that was involved in the football-field race riot with Miami a few weeks back. That was a good touch.
December 15th, 2006 at 5:23 pm
Not to be a football “know-it-all”, but that brawl was actually with Florida International University.

But you can still say UCF sucks if you want…
December 15th, 2006 at 5:27 pm
Gordon and Cranky,
I didn’t realize you are also part of the tribe! Happy Chanukkah!
Yiddish, I love your answers! Even those on the left hate Carter. FYI–talking points on how wrong Carter is in his new book can be found at CAMERA.org. They did some thorough research. I digress…
It’s almost sundown, so time to get out both shabbos and menorah candles.
Happy Hanukkah (Chanukkah) to those celebrating it!
