The first of the two articles I read was about a sports writer from Illinois who made a very terrible article. He was writing about a basketball team whose star was a Korean. He basically was saying that he was surprised that this team was successful because of the players that they had. He talked about their lead scorer being Korean. He also mentioned a red haired kid. Not only is that racist and stereotypical but that is just mean to poor judgment.
The second article was about how the Jews used to own the NBA like the African Americans or (blacks) do now. Jews were good at basketball because they were "short and had god given speed" according to the article. Which is now completely different in the NBA now because the average height and weight is 6 feet 6 inches tall and 220 pounds.
Both of the article are stereotypical and somewhat comical. It is funny to see what all has changed and well what hasn't changed in peoples minds too.
