Double Standards
It is a curious facet of modern day life that the double standards so obvious to some are nearly invisible to others. There is hardly any public arena where the absence of a certain amount of minority participation is not noted and commented upon followed by social and government pressures to correct the "injustice." Yet when a similar situation occurs in sports with white people there is not only no attempt to address the inequality, there is hardly any attempt to notice it exists.
As one of Caste Football's distinguised discussion forum posters (nickname: White_Savage) stated in a post on this subject:
"Liberals and our society are constantly pointing at fields where blacks, a minority of the population, are not represented in numbers sufficient to suit their tastes. But when we (Caste Football) suggest something might be just a LITTLE screwed up when Whites, a majority of the population, comprise zero or nearly zero percent of athletes in some fields, why is that considered crazy, and racist even to bring up? Care to explain this?" (end of post)
Another of our many knowledgeable posters (White_Shogun) commented further [slightly edited]:
"The media and sports officials complain endlessly about racism in sports and elsewhere in society. Why then does no one complain about the disparate treatment given to white athletes? The media tells us the biggest problem in baseball right now is a lack of black baseball players. Why doesn't anyone in the media complain about the lack of white cornerbacks? Or running backs? How does a college athlete win the Doak Walker award, college's award given to the best running back (Luke Staley) and not go on to play in the NFL?
"The Houston Astros took a beating in the [media] for fielding an almost all-white baseball team. How much outcry do you see when teams in the NBA are entirely, or almost entirely black? You hear nothing, because people THINK that's the way its supposed to be. They THINK black athletes are better than whites so therefore it is natural that they dominate sports, and any case where they do not must be racism.
"Guys like James Toney can make all manner of racist comments about white heavyweights, and he is given a pass. But you KNOW if one of the Klitschkos said something like that about blacks, they'd move to ban him from boxing altogether. The media-sports complex praises blacks in white dominated sports, like Tiger Woods in golf, or the Williams sisters in tennis, but how much press do you see in the mainstream about Jeremy Wariner? Andrew Rock? White men who are dominating their [sprint] events in track and field.
"The media teaches us that blacks dominate boxing, but 18 of 24 champions from light to heavyweight are white men.
"The media teaches us that blacks are the best basketball players on the planet, but they get beat in international play by teams of whites.
"The media teaches you that blacks are faster runners, but don't mention white men like Jeremy Wariner and Andrew Rock, but let a black man win Gold in the Winter Olympics and it is front page news. NEWSFLASH: Jeremy is a Gold Medal winner, too.
"The media teaches you that Michelle Wie is the face of women's golf, but she has never won a major [or any professional tournament]. [Compare Wie's media publicity to that] of Annika Sorenstam. Ask yourself why this is so. She has won only one less major than Woods [but only] he is routinely on the front page of sports sites and magazines.
"I don't see how anyone can look at the evidence objectively and not conclude that the media favors blacks. Here are some of the many comments concerning the racial make-up of the Houston Astros during last years World Series.
"I cannot let the just-ended World Series go by without a comment. It was a great series. It was made better for me by the fact that the very diverse Chicago White Sox, who look like America, defeated the retro-looking, and very pale, Houston Astros. Hank Aaron is right. It is disturbing that the Houston Astros, whose World Series Opening Game roster featured 0 African Americans, 0 Asian players, 1 Latino, and 9 Whites (counting the DH), are just too White to root for. I mean, it is 40 years since Texas El Paso whipped Adolph Rupp's Kentucky..."
"Joe Morgan worries about the face of baseball. Watching the World Series, the Hall of Famer is troubled by what he sees. His old team, the Houston Astros, is down 2-0 to the Chicago White Sox, but it's not their lineup that concerns Morgan. It's their makeup. The Astros are the first World Series team in more than a half-century with a roster that doesn't include a single black player. "We know that we have to work to do," Commissioner Bud Selig said Tuesday. "We'll continue to intensify our efforts. I'm very aware, I'm extremely sensitive about it, and I feel badly about it. But we need to get to work to change things."
"The Houston Astros are the first World Series team since the 1953 New York Yankees without an African American player on their active roster. That troubles all-time home run king Hank Aaron, who said Wednesday that the Astros need to make an effort to sign African American players."

It is not just blatant anti-white commentary that is intended to indoctrinate people, it is also subtle shading of news items and how they are covered that sends the anti-white message.
From a post by Don Wassall, editor of Caste Football:
"My morning paper's sports section has an all-too-common example of how white athletes and their accomplishments are downplayed. The AP story of the DN Galan meet in Stockholm, where Wariner broke the stadium record in the 400 with a 44.02, is titled "Sprinters Sparkle at DN Galan Meet."
"Wariner is given co-billing with Asafa Powell, a Jamaican who broke the stadium record in the 100. And the only photograph accompanying the article is of Powell.
"Let's look at how the media works. First of all, there are no names mentioned in the headline; it doesn't read "Wariner and Powell Break Records." Just un-named "Sprinters."
"Secondly, why would a non-American athlete be given equal billing with an American athlete? Who cares what a Jamaican did? Especially so because since 9/11 the government/corporate media has been whipping up pseudo-nationalism and patriotism at every opportunity.
"One could argue that this is because the 100 is a "glamour" event, but get real. If a black U.S. swimmer came along who was dominating like Wariner is, who thinks that if this black swimmer and, say, a white Australian swimmer both broke records at an international meet, that the AP article about it would be called "Swimmers Sparkle at Meet" and the [sole] photograph [accompanying the article] would be of the white Australian swimmer?
"Wariner should be almost as well-known and -publicized by now as was Michael Johnson  more so really by virtue of being the first white American world champion in the 400 in 40 years  but he is still relatively unknown except among track and field fans, many of whom remain convinced that he must be part-black."

In a curious way the double standard that allows for unrestricted prejudice against white men is in and of itself a compliment from those who support and enforce the inequalities.
Minorities and those whites that support policies that discriminate against the white man are in effect saying by their actions: "White men, you are so superior in ability and skill that it can be of no great harm to you if we throw up obstacles to your success and favor lesser people over you."
Thus it is okay to enact minority preferences and deny a white man a job and instead take the non-white candidate, because they are confident that the white man is capable of overcoming such a handicap. They are sure that he will find other gainful employment or find some way to use his superior intelligence, work ethic, and resourcefulness to provide for himself and his family. And it is also true that he is possessed of such good moral character that virtually no level of unfair treatment will drive him to a life of crime or degradation.
Certainly the same is not felt about the minority candidate. Every opportunity must be given him since his chance at success is so slim. If he misses out on a rare chance to acquire a position that he is not really qualified for the repercussions for society are dire. Our prisons and welfare roles are filled with the results of minority failure.
In sports at the college level the athletic department is run in the same fashion. Blacks are recruited and played out of all proportion to their numbers and skills because it is understood that the neglected white player will find another field to excel in. Not so the black player. Without a free shot at a professional athletic career and the possibility of a college degree their future is not nearly so bright.
White college football superstars are often "walk-ons," players that were never recruited or offered scholarships, but still excelled nonetheless. A stark example of this absurd double standard is the snubbing of Jeremy Wariner, the Olympic Gold Medalist in the 400 meter sprint, by every major college when he desired a football scholarship. College coaches insist that they want to recruit "speed." Apparently only if that speed is accompanied by black skin.
For the utilitarian mind-set that rules our collectivist-encumbered society, the consequences of a missed opportunity for a white man and a missed opportunity for a non-white man are not equal by any means. Thus it is important to those that think in this manner to ensure as much favoritism towards non-whites as possible to lesson the society-wide damage that occurs from non-white failure.
So it becomes obvious that affirmative action and minority set-asides, diversity and multi-culturism, are all EXPLICIT admissions on the part of those that support them that white men and culture are vastly superior to other races and cultures. Government mandated and enforced prejudice suddenly becomes acceptable when the group targeted is capable of overcoming the handicap and not only getting by, but also still achieving a level of success higher then the favored group(s). In fact, much to the chagrin of the central planners, no matter how much the inequalities are ratcheted up against white men, they still achieve at a higher level than any other group.
How can this belief in the superiority of white men by the supporters of non-white favoritism be questioned? Certainly it is not out of a sense of anti-white hate that they are motivated, is it? I doubt that they would admit to that. It also cannot be a case of wanting to create a world of inequalities since these people speak constantly of wanting "equality" and that is what in fact motivates them.
Now some may say that the reason that restrictions must be placed upon white men is because they have hoarded all of the power and resources to themselves and refuse to share with other groups. Some may feel they do this out of some special sense of evilness or misguided morality. But really, how can it be that so much more has been done by the white race than any other? How is it possible for them to have acquired so much and achieved so much in comparison to all other people in the first place?
What else other than some natural superior quality could account for it? Could it be the will of God? If that were true then any attempt to alter the situation would be contrary to the will of God, and presumably doomed to failure. However since the people that support anti-white policies do not see the world as a creation of God then they are unlikely to place any faith in such an explanation.
Perhaps it is just due to plain good luck. Over two thousand-plus consecutive years of good luck that has been bestowed upon the white race. The odds of this are, of course, impossible, but no matter, many would believe it is merely the whims of fate that have bestowed such good fortune on white people worldwide.
Some would point to the success of white societies in warfare and conclude that the white race is successful merely because they have taken or plundered the fruits of labor from others and collected it unto themselves, and to this do they owe their position of superiority.
But isn't success in warfare the ultimate test of a race or group's "superiority"? After all, the struggle for scarce resources and living space define the existence of all living creatures. Thus warfare is just an extension of the survival ethic that drives all life on earth. If white men are better at it than any other, it only underscores those qualities by which they can be considered superior.
Superior or not, it makes no difference. Any time one group tries to advance itself at the expense of another group, then it is effectively waging a war of survival against that group. The effected group can either answer in kind to such a challenge or submit to defeat. And woe unto the group that is at war and does not realize it. The end effect of such struggles are seen all around us in the natural world. Survival or death. It will always be so.
The Astros: success is denounced when too many white athletes are involved
Jeremy Wariner: If he was a black swimmer or skier who dominates likeWariner does the 400 sprint, he'd be treated by the media as a national superstar. Instead, Wariner still toils in relative anonymity.
