“What do you call a bunch of white guys sitting on a bench?”/“The NBA.”

A racial joke about white people and basketball is:
 
Q: What do you call a bunch of white guys sitting on a bench?
A: The NBA (National Basketball Association).
 
That is, the best players—the starters—are not white. The joke (sometimes regarded as offensive) has been cited in print since at least 2007 and has been printed on several images.
 
   
Wikipedia: National Basketball Association
The National Basketball Association (NBA) is the predominant men’s professional basketball league in North America, and is widely considered to be the premier men’s professional basketball league in the world. It has 30 teams (29 in the United States and 1 in Canada), and is an active member of USA Basketball (USAB), which is recognized by FIBA (also known as the International Basketball Federation) as the national governing body for basketball in the United States. The NBA is one of the four major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada. NBA players are the world’s best paid athletes by average annual salary per player.
 
The league was founded in New York City on June 6, 1946, as the Basketball Association of America (BAA). The league adopted the name National Basketball Association on August 3, 1949, after merging with its rival National Basketball League (NBL).
