For anyone who didn't see the original post, there's nothing wrong with saying Joker and Luka are white - they are. Writing that their "likability is helped tremendously by them being white" is obviously different, very problematic, and crosses a line that we're not going to flirt with around here. I suspect it's not true for most of us, either (at least I hope not), but either way, just know that this will not be a game that's played in this space.
Because GOP logged into a different account to disingenuously defend his own post by distorting its intent, I'm going to go ahead and say that constitutes "this happening again" and update his ban to a permanent one. I'm sure he'll find a way to create more alias accounts and will be back around (that's what dudes like that do), but I hope this action demonstrates clearly how little tolerance we have for this type of rhetoric. Our country is divided enough - no need for that crap to seep into basketball, especially not our tight knit and valuable community. We all have opinions, but there is a minimum, basic decorum that should be observed in public.
