After Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban went on a social media rant last week in defense of race-based diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, his team constantly The fact that the Dallas Mavericks were listed as one of the “whitest” teams, the league was once again thrown in his face.
On January 4th, leftist Cubans made a series of social media posts about insisted. .
But because he supported policies that boiled down to the argument that white people are inherently racist and that black people and other minorities need preferential treatment in employment in order to advance, the Republican Ohio senator It has become the target of many people, including JD Vance and X owner Elon Musk. .
On Friday, he was joined by podcaster and commentator Patrick Bett-David to criticize Cuba's hypocrisy.
Bet-David found a 2022 article identifying the Mavericks as the NBA's “whitest team” with more white players than any other team.of articleWritten by Guardian's Lee Escobedo prompted Bet-David to ask, “With all due respect @mcuban, how do you react to this article and still advocate for DEI?”
He added: “DEI got off to a terrible start in 2024 and continues to be exposed.”
The Dallas Mavericks are the whitest team in the NBA. @guardian?

In his YouTube post, Bette David said, “What the hell are you talking about DEI? Debate over. You have the whitest team in the NBA. The Dallas Mavericks are the worst in the black game. He is consistently white.”
“Mark, you can see how much credibility your argument loses when your team is the whitest team,” Bett-David added.
Still, Bet David was a little behind the times when it came to his arguments. This article was written in 2022, when the Mavericks had five white players on the roster. This year there are only two.
Still, that's a good point. After all, Cuban was still a supporter of DEI in 2022.
As for other critics, Musk only ignored the NBA owner's proclamation by accusing Cuban of hypocrisy and “virtue transmission” to fellow lefties.
Mark Cuban tries desperately to promote his “virtue,” but his hypocrisy won't convince anyone

And Sen. Vance implied that the Cuban national team, which is 90 percent black, does not “reflect” America's demographics.
