Marshawn Lynch wants to know why NFL teams add White DBs and questions whether they can dance

Marshawn Lynch , who once helped lift the Seattle Seahawks to prominence, recently visited the defending Super Bowl champions during training camp and used part of that time trying to understand one of the important questions on his mind: Why does the NFL have more White defensive backs lately? No, seriously.

STEPHEN A SMITH SHOWS HIS PRIVILEGE BY MOCKING LAKERS' ROSTER FOR HAVING TOO MANY 'WHITE DUDES' Lynch, who is a franchise folk hero and has virtual free run of the practice field and training facility, walked up Seahawks strong safety Julian Love during the team's practice at Lumen Field and asked the following: "Why y'all keep on getting all these White DBs?" Lynch asked Love .

"What y'all gonna do with them, fam? What y'all gonna do with all them White DBs?" For the record, the Seahawks have two White defensive backs currently on their roster.

Ty Okada started 11 games last season and is trending toward keeping that starting strong safety job this coming season, his fourth in the league.

There's also Maxen Hook, who is trying to earn a roster spot during training camp.

Both are White.

Okada also has Japanese ancestry but none of that is the issue.

The issue is why Lynch is so interested in the racial makeup of NFL defensive backs.

Okada was standing right next to Love when Lynch asked the question.

And he seemed puzzled by the former running back's curiosity.

We know this because the scene played out on the latest episode of Hard Knocks on HBO.

And right there, with the cameras rolling and everyone aware this stuff could be going out to a national cable audience, Lynch turned to Okada and made him an unofficial spokesman for White guys.

"How many of y'all is it?" Lynch asked Okada .

Because everyone knows all White guys know each other.
