Question Is Grant Fuhr - not part Black and part Native American?

[edit] "Biracial"?

The article says that he was born to "bi-racial parents" -- does this mean that both parents were biracial, or that his parents were an interracial couple and thus he was biracial?

Incidentally, I was living in Buffalo when he was with the Sabres, and I recall that the golf club where the Sabre players traditionally played was discovered, upon Fuhr's application, to have a whites-only policy. I seem to remember that his fellow players quit en masse. Does anyone else remember the details of this incident? This would have been in the early '90s, so the rule seemed quite outdated at the time. --Jfruh 17:18, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] contradiction?

The article mentions his rejection from a Buffalo Golf club on racial grounds, then suggests that Fuhr never encountered racism while in the NHL. Perhaps he never encountered racism WITHIN the NHL, but it would be nice to have another source confirm this. In the meantime, i'll narrow things so that the article is at least internally consistent. --72.136.196.248 11:19, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
