Is Iowa's defense the whitest in football?

Not to bring race into it, but man, you have a lot of white guys on D. Just something I noticed.
 
White, black, green, purple, or orange.....you walk into a bar that is built like this defense is, you're going to get your ass kicked.

I don't see how it's racist to point out facts like the OP did. His observation is accurate. Iowa even has maybe the only starting white corner back in D1 in Riley Moss.

How can any football fan not notice that teams like Oklahoma and Florida State, most of the SEC, and D1 football in general have defenses, especially, that are often composed entirely of black players? That's no different than saying there sure are a lot of cornfields in Iowa. It's not an attack on Iowans in general or farmers in particular. It's just true.
 
It's stupid to observe that the grass is green or the sky is blue? That's all the OP did. He commented on a fact that he observed. You don't like it? That's your prerogative, but it doesn't make the observation "stupid." You, on the other hand.... :rolleyes:

3 of the 4 secondary kids aren’t white. Golston, Eppy and Lattimote on the Dline aren’t white. Colbert at LB, not white. So there’s 7 kids who play a ton. Ya it’s a stupid post

Agree ... Dang ... He simply made an observation ... My friends and I joked about this very same topic during the Indiana game ... Love Iowa's defense and the studs we have ... Brown, pink, white ... we play good defense ...
 
EE - not to nitpick but I think 2 of 4 in the secondary are white with Moss and Gervase. I don't care the color if they can play period. And BTW, Ross had the 3rd fastest hurdle time in the country last year and I think Tim Dwight could hold his own. Hell Hock may be the second fastest TE in the country behind Fant and I read somewhere that Kittle ran a faster 40 than the Clone's all world WR Lazard. Be colorblind my friend it will help.
 
We're probably one of the whitest team in major college football. It's just how it works sometimes, not by design. The first game of the year, 14 of our 22 starters were white. I offer no 'judgement' about that.
Kallenberger, Reynolds, Render, Paulson, Hockenson, Easley, Stanley
A. Nelson, Brinks, M. Nelson, Hesse, Welch, Neimann, Gervase

Since someone actually posed the question, I think Wisconsin has us beat in the white department on both sides of the ball.
If the guys that are currently banged up are out there, Wisconsin has 4 white starters on defense. The offense is all white outside of the WRs and RBs.

It's absolutely shocking to see from teams located in some of the least diverse areas

Anytime you mention race, the social justice warriors and snowflakes immediately start screaming "RACIST!!" without really knowing in what context the comment is made.
To your point, it is highly unusual for a P5 program, especially one with a D as good as Iowa's, to have 8 white starters. It is what it is....
Now, if you started a white tailback, then I'd really be impressed!
