It's not really racism though, most of the time it's just subconscious. In the NBA, just about every good young white player is compared to other white players like Larry Bird, Dirk Nowitzki, etc.

But it gets embarrassing sometimes, like people comparing Melvin Guillard to Kevin Randleman. They're completely different fighters, stylistically.
