Do I have to be black to play basketball?

I went to the gym today, you know just getting ready to play some ball. And when I was about to play , some african American guy said "sorry but you have to be black to play basketball, you gotta go" so I left with a sad face. I really wanted to play but only black people were allowed to play /:

    Your love for the sport will never be fulfilled, unless you paint yourself! In which case you may be accepted

    You don't have to be black. Most people that do play basketball are tall, run fast, and are in really good shape. It's just that most black people are double jointed so they are able to jump higher. And most of the time they are taller. So no you don't have to be black.

    You can play basketball, no matter what your skin color is. So yes you can play basketball.
