This is a big assumption. It may be true, but you are asserting it without evidence. Demographics of NBA do not mirror demographics of USA.
- sgift 9y agoIt's the reasonable default assumption as long as you have no evidence for the opposite (i.e. that white people have racial attributes making them better at tech / non-white people have racial attributes making them worse). Can you provide evidence for the opposite?
- kgabis 9y agoYou're the one making the assumption so you should back it up with some evidence (burden of proof).
