[QUOTE="gwh11, post: 436564, member: 4910"] The sportswriter J.A. Adende wrote a thoughtful response to White's speech at the time. Part of what he said: [I]"Homosexuality is a decision, it's not a race," White said. "People from all different ethnic backgrounds live in this lifestyle. But people from all different ethnic backgrounds also are liars and cheaters and malicious and back-stabbing."[/I] [I]I wonder if White has read any of the medical studies that indicate there are genetic predispositions toward homosexuality.[/I] [I]Apparently White does think genes play a role when it comes to singing in church or making electronics.[/I] Also: [I]The danger of stereotypes is they put a road block in front of those who must overcome the negative ones and diminish the achievements of those who fulfill the positive ones. If you believe some people, African Americans can't be scientists and Asians do well in school because they were born that way. It isn't fair to either group.[/I] The whole article is here: [url]http://articles.latimes.com/1998/mar/27/sports/sp-33219[/url]. White wasn't the first player to put his foot in his mouth, and he won't be the last. Twitter will help see to that. [/QUOTE]
