If anything, people talk about whether Cousins deserves to beat out Grossman not Griffin. People are excited that we'll either have a talented backup who could play eventually if needed, or who can be flipped into a high round draft pick.

This is 100% correct.

Seriously. Bayless would have us believe that the fans are not only racists, but also ignoramuses rooting for the guy who scored the most in the fourth quarter of the second preseason game. LOL.

I'm sorry I don't think that is factual. I don't know what the demographic of tgs Skins fan case is but I guarantee the it isn't accurate inside the capitol beltway.

PG County aside, the U.S. population is something like 70% white. I think that is what Bob was saying. Just based on US demographics, every team is going to have "mostly white fans". Bayless is extra stupid.

If I were black... I'd root for cousins!
Stupid bayless.. not that this is news tho.

On one of the other Redskin boards, there was a poster who actually went at length to imply that clueless may have a point.....uninformed folks like him r the reason why clueless still has a job.

As one poster here mentioned, according to the latest census black americans are around 13% of total population while white americans are around 78%.....so just kind of makes sense that there would be more white fans for any given team merely going by those numbers.

At the end of the day....i liked the following response.....i root for whoever is wearing burgundy and gold.....period.

You mean you're not black!

In the Marines you are either light green or dark green.

A white guy from South Africa moves to the U.S. He is an African American.

A guy from India who is darker than Dexter Manley is white.

Skip Bayless is a piss yellow color commentator.

I think that white guy from South Africa might rather you referred to him as an Afrikaner American or an Anglo-African American. But I am positive he'd not be cool with being called an African American.

However, Skip Clueless is most certainly a piss yellow commentator. Also he is Massengill

Lmao!

Gary Player is... An African America.

RG3 IS BLACK?

This has turned into one of the funnier threads on this board.

Bayless is a fool. I have always disliked him and literally can't stand the sound of his winy voice. Why someone actually pays him a salary is beyond me.

In simplest terms, a native Texan is someone who was born in Texas

In simplest terms, a native american is someone who was born in America.

RG3 is a Asian (Japanese American). He was born in Okinawa

LoL.

But actually an Indians (red dot, Whoo, whoo) are considered Asian by the Census. And the WHite guy from South Africa is still considered white because according to the Census to be African American you have to be black, but you don't have to be white to be white.

Here are the five Categories:

• White refers to people having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa.
• Black or African American refers to people having origins in any of the Black racial groups of Africa.
• American Indian and Alaska Native refers to people having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America), and who maintain tribal affiliation or community attachment.
• Asian refers to people having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent.
• Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander refers to people having origins in the original peoples of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific Islands.

So Obama is actually Native Hawaiin (if you believe his birth certificate) and RG3 is Asian.
So Americans of Hispanic, Greek, Egyptians, Lybian, and Middle Eastern heritage would be considered white.

And these are the people that will soon be running our health care!

RGIII's parents were stationed on Okinawa....but he was most likely born at the US army hospital there. So, RGIII is most likely dual nationality....i.e. he probably has a birth cert from Japan, and from the US. One of my daughters was born in Naples, It. when i was stationed there.....at the US Naval hospital. She received an American birth cert, but as the hospital was on Italian soil, she also received an Italian birth cert as well. To make things even more interesting, as my wife is a Spanish national, she also can claim to be Spanish if she ever were to want to go and live with her relatives there.

FYI.....

There must be an hispanic category. Can't be classifying Mexicans as white.

This is how the census bureau handles Hispanic origin.

We've got some very white Mexicans down here, dude. Could pass as French, Polish or any other "traditional" European country the US classifies as of white origin.

Just saying.
