Following Sunday night's loss to the Toronto Raptors, the former Michigan star made a statement to the media that has rubbed some folks the wrong way.

 

"I understand that I'm a rookie and I'm white, so people are going to attack me at all times," he said. "Just coming out there in the game, I felt it right away."

 

Following Tuesday night's game, also against the Raptors, Stauskas tried to provide clarity for his words, but at the same time, he didn't back down from them.

 

"I was very surprised," Stauskas told Cowbell Kingdom. "People kind of took it too far with what I was trying to say. I wasn't trying to get anyone to feel sorry for me. I wasn't trying to be controversial or anything like that. I was just trying to keep it real."

 

 

 

Does anyone really have a problem with his statement?

real talk

[Sapper]

He's a rookie and he's white. No need to clarify anything.

I don't think he's justified/right in thinking he gets "attacked" (whatever his implication was using that word) because of his skin color.  If you're a rookie top 10 pick in any professional sport there's going to be some pressure/attacks/etc.

White players are considered inferior talent these days, of course people will go at him. 

[BuzzCity24]

See nothing wrong with what he said. If I was given a dime for each time I hear my friends say it was bc im black. Lol.

[JJman]

Lol. He's right. I'm glad he's speaking the truth.

Larry Bird would get angry if another team put another white guy to defend him, like it was insulting.

 

People really do generally think white guys are inferior in basketball or just three point shooters, so it doens't surprise me.

Don't see how that's racist at all.

White basketball players are stereotyped as 3 PT shooters only. Plus, "white boy can't jump" lol.

"high motor"

"coachable"

"works hard"

"does the little things"

"sneaky fast"

"high sports IQ"

"out hustles"

[TheMaulClaw]

He's right.

[carolina-chuck]
