Making it to the NBA, NFL, or MLB practically guarantees your son will make way more money over his athletic career than most professional jobs out there.

If Jeremy Lin could do it, using race as an excuse should automatically be rejected.

Most professional athletes are outliers because you need a unique combination of genetics and hard work. Race has nothing to do it with.

Because they push their kids into things that would more likely lead to or give them tools to succeed. More practical paths. they dont do the whole follow your dreams business that white parents meme.

thats literally the only reason there isnt as much 'representation' of minorities in sports/media/entertainment. That path is pretty much lottery tier and discouraged by asian parents. If their kids go to college. their goal of college is to get an education, not to be scouted for a 0.000001% chance to make it into pro sports

With crippling depression as a result in many cases.
