If you read the articles about the basketball team and the tennis team, they point out other major incidents of racism in sports, including the jeering and mocking of black athletes. Not just a few people, but thousands of people.
Isn't this PC attitude in America awful, where you can't chant "GO HOME NIGGER!" without some people getting upset? |

Putting aside racism and politics for a second....can someone explain to me why it is allegedly funny?
I love humor in all shapes and sizes and can appreciate a good joke as much as the next guy. I just don't get the humor. Again, not saying it is offensive to me, but also pointing out that I don't get why it is funny. The last time I laughed at that was sometime in elementary school....the old joke.....why do Chinese people have slanted eyes?.......then the person telling the joke would touch their temples, as though they were very stressed or frustrated...and they would say, "RICE AGAIN?!!" These days I dont get the humor in it. It is just the shape of their eye. Why is it funny?

I'm not. It's the same people who would have hit the button immediately had they been in The Dark Knight movie situation.

Wow...
First, of course this is offensive. Second, and perhaps more importantly, this isn't funny. Unless you're my 7 yo son. Weird European humor run amok. Thpaniardth are tho thtrange. |
