"There are few black men in Hockey because they hate the cold" seems innocent enough but it is racist as there are many people of all races whose family roots come from warmer climates who live and work in some damn cold places.

It's because black kids arn't playing hockey. Heck, they're not even playing baseball anymore. Unless you live in a community that has a public youth hockey league, the expense an logistics of getting ice time are staggering.
I think we confuse race and culture all too much.
