<p>Remember when African-Americans didn’t possess whatever it was you were supposed to need to be a quarterback? Now Toby Gerhart, a 235-pound Stanford running back with good speed, can come in the closest second ever in the Heisman Trophy balloting and not be considered a likely first-round draft pick because white guys apparently don’t look like an NFL running back. And clearly, Asians don’t look like basketball players to recruiters, even when the talent is being displayed right in front of their disbelieving eyes. Hence the heckling - sad. Black quarterbacks now star in the NFL, Gerhart will leave cleat marks all over the players of the teams that bypass him in the draft, and Jeremy’s going to lead Harvard to its best season ever instead of taking a big-conference power to the Final Four, but stereotypes will continue to die hard.</p>
