This topic deserves it's own thread. I hope this thread can build like Argonne's fashion thread at WRX...which is now 108 pages long. I would appreciate the FULL participation from the ss.com membership to make this a lengthy and successful thread.
I will start it off...so Happyfan can catch some slack....as Fourwaymiss calls out HF for his whining of the mistreatment of the Koreans by the Merican media.
OK...did everyone see the new Manulife commercial during the Cambian event.
WTF. They show a bunch of nobodies like Brooke Pancake....yet fail to show any REAL Koreans....including past champs......like THE LOVELY HYP (who holds the event record at -26) and Winbee. The only Koreans shown are the FAKE ones...Ko, Minjee and GIMMEE.
What a joke.

Was it "racism" that Golf Digest put Paige Spiranac on the cover instead of Inbee Park?

I think this is a worthwhile topic to discuss, but to be honest, I find the topic name you chose (and its implications) needlessly obnoxious. Is there obvious and subtle favoritism when it comes to how the Koreans are treated? I certainly think so, and it is worthwhile to discuss. Is this necessarily racism, a very inflammatory term? Much more debatable, and I think it sours the whole discussion by putting it front and center like that.
Besides, we should feel free in a thread like this to discuss all sorts of bias, even if we don't think it rises to the level of outright racism.
I would appreciate it if you would rename the thread something more like 'American bias against the Asian Pros?' Thanks!

I don't know how to change a title. Hope you don't mind: I did it for you using some elfen magic. Not sure if you could have done it, actually...?
