First of all, I don't use the term "race" because it is a construct of white supremacists and broadcasts ignorance. There is ZERO difference between humans in terms of genome. There are obviously differences when it comes to genes in each individual human's genome, but that's it. Any attempt to separate people as one type or another is dangerous and has no place in an educated and civil society. This outdated and vile "race" construct facilitates what we call racism. The reality is people look how they look and are a product of their environments. Nothing more. Nothing less.

I call it white supremacy because this is what it is. So yes, asking if Stanford's football coach is fit based on his "race" is an offensive and disgusting thing to say. As for Rod Gilmore, he is just as wrong to be using David Shaw's appearance as some kind of a crutch to shield him from well deserved criticism as a head football coach. By asking the question, Gilmore's position is tacitly validated, as is the concept of race.

Not once have I seen or heard any Stanford fan criticize a coach because of what he or she looked like. So you asking the "race" question, teejers1 is the first example I have seen of anyone even bringing it up, which means you are validating the question.  Yes, disgusting.
