I think the thing that makes it weird for me is that it reminds me of my creepy parents...any time they watched basketball or football, they would root for any white guy, even on the opposing team. I never really understood it...they "explained" it to me a couple of times. Apparently, white players get overlooked because everyone is used to cheering for minorities, and more white people need to cheer for white players so they won't be overlooked and will get enough playing time to be allowed to be stars. But they're not racist, not at all, they just think that white people need to get more attention in modern society and not let minorities change everything. Umm. Yeah, you can't make this stuff up. I still have no idea how any of that makes any sense (or how I came out of their genetic material).

So as long as the Buyers thing is more of a "curiosity/oddity" thing, I get it and it's cool that somebody noticed a unique demographic. It's nobody else's fault that stuff like this raises a red flag with me, but I do think it's good for us to be able to have an open discussion about it. It may be hard to believe sometimes, but I find all of you to be far more reasonable than the people "responsible" for my early years.

Wow!
