Why can't all of us just enjoy NBA once again? Always come the "skin" issue over his great game.?

Question

-Lin brings NBA back again: GLOBALLY! after Bird, Magic, Olajuwon, young Shaq, young & old Jordan era & good business for NBA, TV stations & news.
-Kobe, Lebron, Garnett, Love, Griffin, Wade are great but the impact was not this crazy especially worldwide (not speaking Paul & Howard trading parts).
-Is because he is Asian (well, he is American tho) then he cannot be accepted as a REAL basketball player? We noticed he plays smart & his impact is great to the team compare when MELO was healthy.
-Should it be basketball fanatics glad when basketball is becoming HEADLINES over and over again these past weeks in all media?
-I am Asian & my fav players are MJ, Terrell Brandon, Damon Stoudamire, Penny Hardaway, Wade, & Kobe.
-Yao & Lin are not really my fav players but I admit they bring impact not only in sports but also in society, so I respect them.
-Hope KNICKS will become the contender shortly after long rest (Ewing & Starks, Sprewell & Houston; they were rockin').

I think you may be experiencing things I am not. I like the Lin story but it has very little to do with race for me and everything to do with the underdog succeeding/ Actually now that he's well known I'm not that interested. 
Other than that you seem to have a lot on your mind. That's nice.

I think you're simply focusing on the wrong people, most of us are LOVING the season so far, and have no hang-ups, when it comes to skin-color.

And Lin is having a legendary start, so just enjoy that.
