Black people < making fun of fried chicken, ghetto fabulous, ebonics, etc.
Hispanics < eating beans, mowing lawns, speaking like a cholo, etc.
It's the same sh*t... moderators/admin would of banned any thread with references to that. I know its a basketball forum and Asian's are far and few... but am I wrong to see this double standard?
It's all in good fun. Stop being a pansy, please.
I swear, political correctness will be the death of America.

I agree that too much PC is bad for our country, but by your standards... Black people in America are the most sensitive people in the world. I'm just saying lets flip the book and say hypothetically say a Black guy joins the Canadian curling league and starts dominating.
Lets just say, we made a thread and started saying sh$t like... 1) mocking wigga talk, sup n*gga.. that's the illest (lol bad example I know), 2) he's so strong since he eats fried chicken everyday, 3) his parents wanted him to be a rapper... THESE ARE ALL RACIST STEREOTYPES. Im just reading the thread, and there's comments about asian's cant drive, mocking the accent, reference to dumplings, being bookworms, and being wierd. Lol believe me, I was laughing at all of them, and then I thought... how would it be if the situation was flipped and we were applying the same stereotypes to Black, Hispanics, etc... it would be an outrage!
