Why does it matter his race? i thought we were trying to be equal but you’re pointing out that he’s black. I wouldn’t have even thought about his race until this video came out.
People always say "highest drafted Russian" or "highest drafted German" when it comes to European players and any other entity for that matter and no one blinks an eye… but when you say "highest drafted black player"… now you got people commenting "WHY IS THIS ABOUT RACE"……
Probably highest non-white selected ever. Paul Kariya (Japanese father Tetsuhiko, but Tetsuhiko was born in Canada and played for the Canadian rugby national team) was selected 4th.

"black player" seems kinda racist to me . when will they become human beings not someone thats categorized by their skin color
Il est pas noir il est métisse
The fact that he’s black is not relevant (stop making click bait based on skin color) ur devising ppl more than uniting them!!!
Getting woke going broke, lol….good luck in that pick…
Im so jealous! the kings better treat him well!
Wow "black", white people patting themselves on the back for this accomplisment they achieved 🤦♂️
Holdup…black guys can skate? I guess when your name is Quinton you got a chance
Congrats bro 🎉
Didnt take long for the racists to make their mark on this video.
count the ''hmmmmm you know''
Why is everything about race these days ?
This kid is gonna dominate is a few years
Being drafted to Los Angeles is very fitting based on some ugly history in that city. Congrats to Quinton. Huge career ahead of him.
Wouldn't be news if this was last year.

Why does it matter Jesus christ

Really NHL he is a hockey player it doesn't matter if he is Black White Pink or Blue
I dont know who is he but am happy for him looks like L.A found a good one👍
@ NHL congrats to LA and for Quinton Byfield being second overall in the draft.
How embarrassing, Quinton Byfield is not the highest black player. 🤦♂️🙄
Correction Quinton Byfield is the highest Mix Race player to be selected in this year NHL draft
His dad is Jamaican and his mother is white is from Canada
Quinton will be a STUD for the Kings, perfect spot for his development!!
A Canadian good at ice hockey is nothing special. If there was a person from Kuwait who has never seen ice before then that would be impressive.
Is Simmonds still in a corner crying?
Who are we to judge!? Looks like one HEELLUVA player to me!!!!!
Offical uhm you know counter: 17
He is going to be a super star !
Auhm y’know
