Its not considered racist because he isnt black. If he was black, this thread would be 15 pgs by now
I'm pretty sure OP is black. Maybe all the Asian posters in this thread should make it known that they're outraged over this. I mean really it's either racist or you're saying only black speak up when something racist is said about them. The only problem with the tweet was who tweeted it and it being unprofessional of that person. Not that it was racist or wasn't funny so therefore it's racist.
If this was a NTer who said that you all would've laughed on twitter and kept it moving and there wouldn't even be a thread. All the damn signs you're crying about were held up by Asian ppl celebrating Lin. So you're either saying they weren't and were actually mocking him or they're self hating Asians or are you saying the non Asians laughing at the signs and jokes are racist?
What Im saying is that if it were a tweet playing on negative black stereotypes there would be a pretty decent uproar.
If Melo made a shot at the buzzer and someone tweeted that theyre surprised a black man was able to get something done on time I can guarantee you many people would have a problem with that.
I remember when Lebron made his "Decision" and there were some pretty lengthy threads implying that Dan Gilbert was acting more like a slave owner than the owner of a pro team.
A few months ago you couldnt even say "animal" on NT cause people were getting offended even when it was obvious it wasnt being used with any racial implications.
So I ask you...
Can we just give all racial jokes a pass as long as its funny and with good intentions?
Or are we only racially sensitive towards black people and everyone else is fair game?
I seen the race card get pulled too many times on NT so Im pretty surprised to see how many people think this is ok.
