So what about Basketball ? Should there be more whites ? Is that skewed by design ? Have you ever thought about the various factors behind why a certain group dominates certain fields or you just think it is unfair and on purpose ?

It's funny that you bring up sports, because one of the hot topics in the sports world right now is that there should be less whites in many positions, from coaching to ownership.

It's supposed to be accepted as fact that if there are a lot of non-whites somewhere, it's simply because they're better. But if there are a lot of whites somewhere, it's because of racism.

You didn't answer my question though and deflected. I am not talking about whites being discriminated (thats a separate topic). I am discussing the "skewed" comment you made. Why do you think Basketball has less whites ? Let me add a few more. Why do you think a lot of Gas Stations are owned by Asians ? Why do you think a lot of Landscapers are hispanics/Latinos/South Americans ?
