I think there's probably something to these accusations, I would just appreciate some specificity.
It certainly doesn't show that you're not.The jumpsuit cut out still makes me lmao, guess I'm racist.
To echo myself in another thread, there is plenty that can be considering racist by one person and not by another. I tend to trust the people on the wrong end of the oppression spectrum about their experiences.That’s the thing, there never is any. Bunch of butthurt babies trying to give us a bad rep.
Eat **** Jackson.
I’ve been to the arena multiple times and I’ve never heard a racist comment.
My best friend in 3rd grade was black, can't be racist.It certainly doesn't show that you're not.
Now THAT got me to laugh.My best friend in 3rd grade was black, can't be racist.
Lol in all seriousness though, I'm all about calling out any Jazz fan that acts inappropriate towards players or refs whether it's racism or talking about family. I just hate the generalization some of these players make towards our entire state or fan base, because it's something 99.9% of us don't condone and want no part of.Now THAT got me to laugh.
But if it's true that it happens more often or with more severity in relation to other teams?Im sure its true, but its probably only a handful of people. The entire state of Utah doesnt need to be grouped in here, and generalized as a bunch of racists.
Why does he think its ok to do that? Does he not see the contradiction and double standard in his own views?
Any possibility of an expectation bias? I mean, you kind of implied that yourself when appealing to the state racial demographics and political leanings.But if it's true that it happens more often or with more severity in relation to other teams?
I've been thinking about that too. I don't know. But in lieu of anything substantive statistically or anecdotally, I tend to trust the narrative, especially since it seems consensus has existed for a long time (which, yes, could possibly speak as loudly to your point).Any possibility of an expectation bias?

The smoking weed thing is a non issue for me, there's been former jazz players that I'm sure have done it. Stephen Jackson is /was also a known member of the bloods, doesn't have the best of credibility with me .Utah does have a lot of white people. It's kind of getting old that racist comments keep happening everywhere but I highly doubt it's worse in utah.
This guy is the same one who got in the seats and fought the crowd. Got in a fight with a teammate in a bar. Just admitted to doing marijuana before games and played "high." I could be wrong but that's on the banned substances list.
He was a dirty player and a thug on the floor. He's not really a dude who's opinion I'd count on.

How would someone even begin to quantify it? Start counting the number of times you here racist comments? Do a study. Compare it to all other teams? Then if Utah turns out to have the most occurrences then that means the entire state is racist, and can be labled as such?But if it's true that it happens more often or with more severity in relation to other teams?
