In the picture, Jeremy Lin is getting the ball taken away by Greivis Vasquez, Tyson Chandler is behind him and Chris Kaman is facing the wrong way.
So... There you go?
Lin = Taiwanese background
Vasquez = Venezualan
Chandler = Black American
Kaman = German-American (Aryan even)
*The more you know.*
Also, the only reason ESPN reacted the way it did by firing the guy is A) There were definite racist implications and B) Even if it was said in a way that wasn't intended to offend, with the amount of spotlight on Lin right now, there's no way there wouldn't be social backlash if they DIDN'T punish the guy responsible.
Keep in mind too that Jeremy Lin was born and raised in California, and graduated from Harvard. He's American, and English is his primary language.
