... easy easy there Iapyi... I'll take your word for it no problem.... Its just not something (color) that I think or care about beyond hoping that eventually we'll see a lot more African Americans gaining access to the sport at young ages in traditional & non-traditional markets... picking up hockey sticks, falling in love with the game & rather than pursuing Basketball or Football exclusively.... amateur hockey making in-roads, that its much more affordable (for everyone), the naturally talented black & white athletes from all socio-economic stratospheres opting for hockey.
it's all good. I didn't mean to come across as one who is riled about it, I was just saying that to me it goes past a grandparent as I now know for a fact that one of his parents was black or half black [unless my friend is misremembering in which case I'll really have egg on my face....lol.....]
as for the whole issue of colour I am the poster child for not giving one iota of care towards one's colour. Matter of fact I think the fact it even gets brought up is a step backwards in just accepting we are all human.
