Are you suggesting it’s less racist to have less blacks people and more white people?

Asians have basically no representation in the NFL. In your opinion, should we limit blacks in the NFL to their population percentage so that it’s more fair, and give those spots to more whites and Asians?

Do Pacific Islanders count as Asians? IIRC There are a relatively high number of them in the NFL.

I guess in the same way that white South Africans immigrants to the US can be considered African Americans, and Russians can be considered Asians.

Otherwise no, Pacific Islanders are not Asian. They even have their own checkbox in ethnicity polls.
