Greg Kurth was traded for a seventh round draft choice for whimpering:
 GK>        Why must he be compared to black athletes? He is 1/2 Asian.
(Not directed at you, but to people in general...)
Making a big whoop-tee-doo just because he is *anything* other than a superb 
golfer just irks the hell out of me.  I hear all this crap about "racial 
harmony" and all that jazz, yet the media (and many others) continues to 
propogate the racial or ethnic background controversy.  I could care less if 
he's white, black, blue or pink, Buddhist, Jewish, Catholic, wears a size 12 
or a size 8.  Why should anyone care about that stuff... it has no bearing on 
his abilities to excel at his chosen sport.  He's a tremendously talented 
young man who is very dedicated to his sport and works hard to be the best.
Why must he be compared to anyone just because he's anything.
He's a tremendous golfer.  He's better than Nicklaus was, compared to their 
contemporaries.
