Hey CP

*edited as per suggestions....

Do you feel that an all native basketball tournament should be considered as racist?

The reason i ask is becuz let's say I decide to put on a hockey tournament and label it as a "WHITE ONLY" tournament, I'd have every media group banging down my door looking for my head. People would be picketing hockey arenas. Marches and rallies would be organized calling for equal opportunity... etc - I think you get my point.

BUT - if a native group wants to put on a tournament that is native only that's fine.

Sounds like a bit of a double standard if you ask me.

Personally - I have absolutely no problem with an all native tournament - it doesn't bother/upset me in the least.

Thoughts???
