White men certainly can play basketball. Basketball was actually invented by a white man. And while I understand your questions were meant to be rhetorical, they have already been answered, at least implicitly, in my first comment. So they did not need to be asked
However, I don't fail to notice that your first question is a not-so-subtle "jab" at so-called "white supremacy", with blacks making up the majority of professional basketball players..the second question as well, with most likely Asians making up the majority of mathematical competition winners.
So I really must ask, why do you take offense at white people seeking to live in a racially homogeneous community or, more preferably, country..and discussing that, and taking steps accomplish that goal? You know, the way it had been mostly everywhere, until the 20th century? Why have I never seen you say something that can be construed as explicitly pro-white, while all the while you seem to enjoy making snarky put downs against people here who seek to preserve the white race? That race which has been under attack for over the past century, and is tending towards becoming a minority in many of its own countries. That race which has been under attack precisely because, among other reasons, it has been the one whose priests have most spread the Gospels to the ends of the earth, produced and sustained Christendom, and has comprised the majority of those who defended Our Lord's Church against Satan and all enemies of God. Why is that, Seraphina?
You are right, there is not a race Christ died more for than others. But there is a race that died more than others for Christ.
Rhetorical, yes. I’m not a sports historian, so thank you for the information. Most of the people I see playing competitive basketball are black.
Why should I make an explicitly pro-white statement? To please you? If you or anyone wants to live in an all-white community, be my guest. Live wherever you like. Some have the money to make such a choice, some do not. Some people want to live only among their specific nationality. Going back not that many years, my father lived in a predominantly Irish Catholic community. They had their own parish because this was NYC. My mother was born and lived her first nine years in a Polish Catholic community. There was a time, btw, when Irish were NOT considered white in NYC. They were grouped in between the Italians (not white) and the blacks. That’s exactly where they lived in distinct communities down to individual buildings in lower Manhattan. (I do know my ancestry and NYC history.)
When my parents got engaged, Irish to Polish, some of the Irish found it offensive to the point where several older people, non-relatives, went to the Irish priest to object. By 1950, the Irish had risen in social standing in NYC, but the Polish, no. There were people who scolded my father for marrying beneath himself, and Polish who congratulated my mother for marrying higher.
This was never an issue in my lifetime, for which I’m thankful. Had I been born a century earlier, it would have been a different story. An Irish man who married a Polish woman would have been scandalous in NY of 1850!
Sorry, but I have only once felt “under attack” for being white. That was in 1994 in a Chinese bakery in Flushing, Queens. I was there to purchase a birthday cake for a Chinese coworker. The two women at the counter glared at me and totally ignored me while waiting on Asian customers. One pretended to not speak English which was not true. I heard her speak in English with a Korean customer. After about 15 minutes, I gave up. There are more than one Chinese bakery in Flushing, so I went to another on the next block. The name of the cake was written in Chinese on a slip of paper because I couldn’t pronounce it properly. In the second bakery, I was waited upon promptly and politely despite being the only non-Asian in the store. I bought the cake and brought it to school.
I’m sorry if you don’t like that I feel no need to live in a whites only community, but that’s how it is. Actually, I prefer to live amongst a mix of people, so long as they behave in a respectful and God-fearing manner. That’s how I grew up, went to school, and worked. I’ve had friends of different races, nationalities, and religions, although I feel naturally closer to those who are traditional Catholic.
I’m single, but were I to marry late in life, I doubt I would marry outside of the white race. Nothing personal, but I do not find non-white men particularly attractive. If someone does marry outside their race, that’s their business. There is no Catholic rule against it.
As for my validating your desire to support whites-only communities, you’ll have to look elsewhere.
