You know how else they lack diversity? Skill level. It is hardly fair that every single country only accepts elite athletes on their national teams, not reflecting the skill-level diversity of their nations.

If you wanna see true diversity check out SEC football. Back in 2019, I took note of the racial composition of the top 8 defenses in the SEC. Out of 88 starting positions there was one white guy, one Polynesian and 86 (you’ll never guess)
And the reason this is true diversity is that every race and ethnic group was given an equal opportunity to compete for the position or for a scholarship on the team, 97% of the black athletes won the competition. And noone in the South cares
The only time anyone will sqawk is when anyone points out the reason why. Because speed on defense is essential and blacks are faster at every size than anyone else … something that is obvious to every first grader who has ever gone to school with black kids

When my wife retires, I’m moving to a town with as low a percentage of black people as I can find. Not because I hate black people, I don’t, but because they hate me.

They’re Refs; probably because they don’t cheat:
Evan Scott (Taejon, South Korea) is one of four referees born outside the United States on the NBA officiating staff. He has officiated three seasons in the NBA G League. Scott worked nine NBA regular-season games as a non-staff official during the 2018-19 season.
