media, ethnicity and poker?

Here's an interesting topic and written about by a Canadian Poker player Daniel Negreanu whom I only sorta like. He's a bit cocky. But I gotta give it to him for bringing the issue of media coverage of Asian poker players to light even though I think he meant to say Canada is a mosaic rather than a melting pot as the latter infers that people forego their culture to blend in. Also to say racism was a non-issue would be overly dismissive. Anyways, it is a good read.

Thanks to Blue Hoodie for this link originally posted on his blog.

hmm this would've made for a nice thesis topic.
