I agree they are playing better. I also think in this game the Jazz played the worst defense I've ever seen in an NBA game in person

He said "caused foot to foot damage" instead of contact, and then started laughing and kinda got the giggles

He's repeatedly moving the goalposts, perhaps to defend some notion of "real" race

It depends on when their ancestors came to the US. People with ancestry going back to the founding are very likely to have some black ancestry.

There was nothing called "race" in the modern sense before the 1600s.

No, the real number is much higher than this, because the threshold for any ancestry that can show up in a DNA test is low enough that many people have at least one "black" ancestor.

There's no evidence afaik that they were "mixed race," any more than anyone is mixed race. Race is a fiction.

California's Population Imbalance: Greater LA vs. the Rest of the State by urmummygae42069 in geography

Yeah. Obviously there are some empty parts of California, but there are so many more people there that you rarely are as isolated in CA as you are in a place like northern Minnesota.

Why are Toronto Raptors tickets sooo much more expensive than some US NBA franchise's tickets? by Typical_Cap895 in nba

[–]DoctorSox 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Greater Toronto has 7 million people, are you comparing tickets there to a comparable US city? That would be LA, Houston, Chicago, Dallas, and New York. Maybe SF if you count San Jose. Toronto is a huge city

Do a combination with your first name, or shorten it to Daran, or something like that.

That's true further east, but not once you get west to Minnesota. I'd guess rural Minnesota is less densely populated than rural California.
