You are EXTREMELY naive. Anyone who does business with the federal government is endlessly pressured regarding minority quotas. Also, most large companies and corporations fall in line regarding minority quotas after they've seen, eg, Jesse Jackson's protection racket in action.

If the NBA wants to be racist, it can be. If you applied for a job with the NBA, and you where denied because you where too white, I'd suggest talking to a lawyer. What are you trying to prove? That the NBA is racist, and that they are legally bound to a affirmative action? Yeah it seems weird that most NBA players are black, and if it was the other way around they would probably be scrutinized. What does this prove to someone that doesn't agree with affirmative action in the first place?
I don't know why you're jabbering at me - the NBA isn't racist - it hires blacks because they are better at basketball.
