Stereotypes held me back, says Lin


LOS ANGELES: Jeremy Lin says he felt a sense of bigotry towards him when he wasn’t offered a US college scholarship despite being named one of California’s top players in his final high school year.

“Well, I think the obvious thing in my mind is that I was Asian-American, which, you know, is a whole different issue but I think that was a barrier,” Lin said. “I mean it’s a stereotype.”
