Apparently, Dusty Baker, the manager for the Chicago Cubs baseball team, made a comment about race and heat and is, um, catching heat for it. Now, I don’t know about you, but his comments — or at least the gist of the idea — make sense to me. People brought up in warmer climates are going to be used to higher temperatures. The reason white people are white is because over many, many generations, they lived in the colder areas of the earth where the sun was not as direct, hence not needing the melanin in their skin. Blacks and latinos lived closer to the equator in hotter areas of the world. Luckily, ol’ Dusty is sticking to his guns and not apologizing.
