If there's a bias against Dirk it's coming from the casual fan. The fan who has never voted him an All-Star starter. The majority of those fans are white.

I don't think the color of the fan matters. Casual NBA fans think of Dirk as soft and overrated because:
(in order of importance)
A. He looks goofy a lot
B. He's Euro.
C. He's white.
They're all part of the package, in my opinion.
