The first article was about a basketball team that won and no one thought they would win. The person that wrote the article was very racist towards the players and had some very rude comments in the article. The writer of the article couldn't believe that the leading scorer was Korean. I can't believe any paper would publish that but it goes to show that there are a lot of stereotypes that people have about different races.
The Second article was very interesting. It was about how Jewish people used to dominate the sport of basketball. It talked about how they used basketball for a way out of the inner cities. I found it very interesting that at the time it was an advantage to be short in basketball. Jewish people dominated because most of them were short and were very fast.
Both articles point out how people can stereotype a race in sports. Sports is not the only place though people stereotype, it is everywhere. No matter how many people think they are not racist they have probably stereotyped a race of people before.
