Why is it sad? msf's wife now has a person that she can feel kinship with to give her reason to watch the NBA. I think it's great. Everyone needs a hero, even a sports hero.

I already understand that. We're in a world that is becoming increasingly globalized nowadays, as is. At a very fast pace. If anything, Lin will be good for further increasing interest in the game of basketball in China/East Asia, just as Yao helped do. Here's proof things have been taken just a bit TOO far.

He might lure some, but not all.
Except on US census forms. Race is a relatively fluid designation. It can vary between geographic, genetic, and social designations. Your designation only touches on geographic and/or social construction.
On the US Census form, the "Asian" designation is the only options for Indians to check. India itself has many different skin hues/clans. "Asians" obviously are not a race, I am sure you know. Asia is a continent which is home to so many different races/tribes. But to keep calling people from the Far East "Asians" and call everyone else from Asia something else is so wrong.
Wow. You're the only other one who called him a Chinese-American so far! Miracles happen!
That stupid article even acts calls Far Easters "Asians". Pathetic. When are Indians going to be called "Asians", too?
are you comparing the Knicks to the Blue Hens?
