Is Iowa's defense the whitest in football?

We're not white....we're premium.

To start the year, 8 of the 11 starters were white.
The funniest part is that I think Nebraska is in a close running for second place with white starters on D. I guess that is a little stereotypical that Nebraska and Iowa would have a lot of white players. I just thought it was a funny observation. Those of you getting your panties in a wad, quit taking life so seriously. Relax, have a drink, watch a movie....I suggest "Blazing Saddles"

Not to bring race into it, but man, you have a lot of white guys on D. Just something I noticed.

Not to bring race into it...but I’m going to bring race into it.

Finish your GED work, son. Then we’ll discuss your community service.
 
And many of these “white guys” would start or at least make the 2-deeps at the bulk of P5 schools. We don’t recruit athletes, we recruit football players.
 
Not to bring in race....then you did.

Would you complain if they had an all Japanese line?

I'm not complaining about anything. I was just making an observation.
Is it racist for the university to publicize the racial make-up of the student body? (well, if it's used as some sort of quota system, then I suppose an argument could be made).
Is it racist to provide the racial description of a person who committed a crime and it being sought by law enforcement?
Is it racist to show how people vote in elections according to their race, sex, income, education?
You see, bringing race into a conversation isn't wrong (or disgusting as some posters have said), it's simply part of the discussion.
 
I have no doubt the OP was trying to stir things up with this post. But a statement that we have a lot of white guys on D is not "racist". There is no hatred or denigration of others by making what is basically a sports-related demographics comment. Every day demographic studies are cited in economics, politics, education, healthcare, crime, etc.

Outside of people who intentionally try to stir things up for their own amusement, two things bug the crap out of me on the topic of race:

1) That there are actually many people out there who hate or mistreat others because of their color. The world has no use for you.
2) To a lesser extent but still annoying AF, that any comment about someone of another race makes you a racist. Please. Stop. It's unintelligent.

And for the record, I love our f*ckin' defense, I don't care what color they are.
 
ism- a distinctive practice, system, or philosophy, typically a political ideology or an artistic movement.

So, anyone who believes there are more than one race, is a practicing 'racism', and thus a racist.
This is what people need to grasp in order to end racism. There is only one race......human.
 
Just trying to keep the ratio a little more even. Does the SEC have any white dudes? ;)

That will never sell - too much money and power in hate... sucks.

I’d say that Iowa does an excellent job of both recruiting and developing talent considering the location and population nearby.
 
It's bullsh*t there are no albinos on the field. Almost ever.

I wish Iowa had these guys...

 
Yup, a white defense works fine against the slow B1G teams, but when we play against speed guys from other conferences, like that McCaffery from Stanford, we get owned!

Dear Slappy,

McCaffery is white. LOL
Can we ever just drop skin color as a prerequisite of speed?
