Yes, we can so swim!

A friend of mine drew my attention to this tidbit in our local paper . . .

Former N.C. State swimmer Cullen Jones signed a seven-year endorsement deal with Nike worth potentially more than $2 million, which would make him the highest-paid sprint freestyler in the world.

In your face, widespread but specious stereotype!

EDIT: Watch this GOP House candidate for Florida singlehandedly kill his political career with this same stereotype in just 27 seconds. Now I know schadenfreude supposedly corrodes the soul, but given what happened in 2000, I’m doing backflips.
