My All-America White team would be:
Jatarie White - Texas
Chatrice White - Florida Dt
Dionna White - Georgetown
Candice White - Fresno St
Ra'Shika White - Elon
But now as I look at your team, maybe I didn't quite get your concept accurate. So in that case I would take out the two Baylor players and replace them with:
Megan Gustafson - Iowa
Marie Gulich - Oregon St
And I am surprised that I can't find room for Brittney McPhee.

I find this kind of offensive. Like at what point do you call someone 'white'? If they are 3/4 white? 7/8 white? Do they have to be 8/8 white? What if someone has an oriental or Indian or hispanic great grandparent? Is that still white? I just think there are a lot of mixed race players and trying to separate them out like this strikes me as offensive and a bit juvenile. Sometimes my blind partner who loves listening to the games, will ask me what a player looks like, and sometimes I have to go to their website to get a good look at their face because, while I know a lot about how they move and how they play, I don't nec. know details about their faces. And for instance, I know Taurasi doesn't like to be called white, but most people looking at her would think she is. Ditto for Banham who I think is 1/4 black. And many other players it's just not obvious. So what's the point?

First you have your “I can say thugs, it’s race neutral” rant and now this? Check yourself.

Just curious. Would people have a problem with an All-Hispanic Team, All-Asian or Asian-American Team, or an All Foreign Team.

I was unsure if White should be capitalized. Sorry for the confusion.

calbear- Coincidentally I had Gustafson because I didn't want to put Gulich on it...I was racking my brain....then I finally thought of Cox.
Gulich has improved but I don't think she's very good.
