Abstract
This paper presents a discussion of the way in which ethnicity has been viewed in the sporting context. It is suggested that the assimilation-acculturation paradigm which is often utilized to discuss ethnic minority participation is insufficient. Speci fically, the paradigm as it is now formulated oversimplifies the dynamics of the ethnic factor in sport. The author attempts to reformulate the nature of the questions asked and presents alternate conceptualizations of the role of ethnicity in sport.Keywords
