Basketball legend and current President of Basketball Operations for the Los Angeles Lakers Magic Johnson has come under criticism the past 48 hours for selecting Rob Pelinka as the Lakers’ new general manager. Pelinka, you see, is white, one of now a sea of white GMs in a sport dominated mostly by athletes of color.

(Pause for effect.)

Magic has been criticized.

(Pause.)

Magic, for those of you who have been hiding under a rock since 1979, is himself of color.

(Pause.)

That’s all.
