Dey Racis: German newspaper article about Dirk Nowitzki translated into English
Germany is psyched about the results of this year's NBA Finals, not just because one of their own - Dirk Nowitzki - was this year's MVP, but because they hate black people.
This article in some German paper, via Google Translate, breaks down the significance of the white man's triumph over "ghetto" black players.
And I quote:
Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks will be included in an illustrious list of winners and NBA most valuable player "of the Final Series (Most Valuable Player) of the past 25 years. He is the first white MVP since Larry Bird.
[...]
That street ball, threaten Rap and ghetto chic and the commercial success of the sport, has recognized the league itself years ago. At that time the players were still dressed with gold chains and hung in the gangsta look: baseball caps, schlabberige pants, long T-shirts and sneakers were open standard.
The wide - white in the majority - aware American public takes this shoddy outfit but with street gangs and the mainly black rappers scene here. The organization wants the NBA, the basketball bothered as a family sports marketing for all. Therefore, a dress code was enforced. The players must now appear in a suit and tie the game.
The skin color is U.S. observers have noted that one of the causes that explain the success of the final series with the viewers. The fact that this is a white star while the throne conquer is certainly good for the commercial success, writes columnist Bill Foxsports riders. Even if it is a sad fact that the skin color in general still play a role.
Nowitzki is the man who would hesitate to the average American is not in his living room. He is reticent, has manners and is cultivated.
