The essence of the approach in this document can be summarized by their suggestion to use term "undocumented immigrant" instead of "illegal immigrant" for the following reasons:
That is it in a nutshell: avoid using terms clearly describing the entity and, instead, make everything fuzzy and throw smoke bombs around so the language is gentle and meaningless. That allows you to write long essays saying absolutely nothing, publish them in papers that no one except for a small group of like-minded ideologues ever reads, and get paid for it.
See, saying that someone has done something illegal is "dehumanizing". When someone breaks the law, you cannot talk about the fact of them breaking the law - that is disrespectful! You can only talk about things that make them feel good about themselves.
May I suggest further improvement: "sexually non-conformist" in place of "rapist"? Telling someone that they have raped someone is far too offensive. You have to be understanding of the history of oppression sexually non-conformist people have faced.

Your explaination that hockey is expensive may explain why your stereotyping of blacks being poor makes it hard for them to play hockey.
But everyone can afford basketball.
If basketball is so cheap that everyone can afford to play it. So why so few whites in the nba?
There is only 1 white corner in the nfl. If white people have all the priveledge than would it not make sense there should be a disparity in the other direction?

I agree that is not stereotyping. But then neither is saying they are generally better at basketball as that is statistically true.
This must also mean youve accepted that african americans generally are better at basketball due to physical or cultural influences.
And now the can of worms is open because if you accept that then you must also at least admit those things can play into the disadvantaged inequities.
I personally just want to get rid of the collectivist grouping of race all together. I dont care about inequites among race, sex, ect unless there is a discriminatory policy in the way.

"Furthermore, college is expensive and for the same reason Black people are forced into sports." How is this claim not a stereotype and to say this is: "All black people are poor?" They're both broad based nonsense.

First off I supply my view of stereotyping, Generally I think it has a pretty negative conotation it.
My view is if the stereotyping/generality has factual truth to it I dont have any issues with it as long as you arent using it to may substantial character judgements on an individual.
If one defines stereotyping as using the generality to make judgements on an individual id agree that is wrong. Generalities based on stats are just truthful observation.
My agreement was not with the statement you highlighted but with an acceptance that there are some economic disparities among races.

"People expect Black players to play better and therefore view them as superior despite evidence to the contrary."
Whats the evidence to the contrary? I already posed the stats for the NBA where the makeup is 70% african american.
In the NFL there is only 1 single white corner in the entire NFL. Is that just do to confirmation bias?
Also how do you think this stereotype came about if historically blacks were heavily discriminated against. Originally they werent even allowed to participate in pro sportd in the U.S.
When your explaination is a stereotypical confirmation bias how do you suppose a shift to an overwhelming majority of black players in NBA occured when the original bias was they cant compete?
They are not better so how did they ever over the supposed main factor of bias?

See:
Effects of ethnicity on the relationship between vertical jump and maximal power on a cycle ergometer
Further, Kenyans have longer legs and strides, so they disproportionately win the Boston Marathon.
The reason the NBA has about 72 percent Black players isn't about the expense of basketball or its popularity among inner city kids. Such thinking is naïve. Pro Basketball picks only the best of the best. There are lots of white college basketball players who don't make it.
If you think this some kind of white supremacy thing - ask ChatGPT this question "Do Black people have higher muscle density and better fast twitch reflexes". It will apologize for being insensitive, but tell you the same thing I just did.

There is a huge difference, however, between saying "Group X has statistical superiority in aspect A over group Y", and "Every member of group X is less worthy than any member of group Y". The former is acceptance of an observed statistical fact; the latter is an illogical statement based on overgeneralization of a factual trend. It is not racist to say that black people are statistically better basketball players than white people; it is racist to say that it makes black people superior to white people. There is still a distribution within each group, and furthermore, we are talking about a very narrow aspect of a human being. Suggesting that black people are superior to white people because they are statistically better basketball players would be unreasonable.
I have no trouble admitting that, on average, Chinese people are better mathematicians than people from my ethnic group. They absolutely are. It would be preposterous, however, to suggest that I should abandon doing mathematics and leave it to "my betters" just because my group's distribution is less favorable than that group's. I am an individual, and it does not matter what group I belong to when we talk about my worth and my ability. I am still a better mathematician than 99.99% Chinese people, I suspect, so...
If suddenly a new basketball star arises and crushes all competition, it will make no difference what race the star is. However, if you were to place a flat bet on what race the next basketball star will be, you know what you should bet.
