    I think he was referring to Hines Ward (black/Korean)

    This.

    It's not racist, it's just ignorant. There is a big difference.

    Racist was the Native American who I booted from my table last night because he said he was glad there were no niggers on the table.

    But she moved to Alabama, so this is somehow still our fault.

    Wege Thompson and Greg Garrity are both white - so you could do whatever you want to depict them and make fun of them and nobody would care....

    I remember that awful sitcom Gimme a Break, where the daughter in the family was mad at Nell Carter, and she talked her little brother into doing a skit while in blackface to try and hurt her.

    It worked. And it probably was about as funny as this instance of blackface.

    Guess you didn't see Big Lebowski. Walter tells Donnie the proper nomenclature is Asian.

    Dave Casper was neither a Steeler nor a wide receiver.

    Buddy Dial, actually. Pretty racist of you to think I would call out Hines Ward like that.
