I am not an Asian-american and English is neither my first language nor my mother tongue. But I won’t give ESPN the benefit of the doubt. Everything said or done “against” Lin was intentional. Racism in America is an organic entity. People (i.e. white people) constantly feed off its manifestation.
It was not a coincidence. It was not humor. It was not obliviousness.
It was perfect synchronization. At the right moment, a bomb was released. At the right moment when an Asian man is going to be revered, someone or something will come to “shoot” him down. In the US the veneration of Asian (men) is the greatest taboo.
In fact, I was not even surprised that something like that happened to Lin. I would have been surprised if something like that didn’t happen! In other words, I was expecting it…

sports anchor even said it here on air. ESPN not cool. the gave lousy apology

They did it before, too.

Ok post. But I will say I am sick and tired of every race using black people as the scape goat to prove their bullshit. No one ever stands on a black person’s side plus they are racist towards blacks. But the second they have an issue they want to push forward they pull out MLK’s name and start preaching. But wkere were you when blacks and some whites were protesting on civil issues? WHERE WERE YOU Asian People?

LOL. So, black people have to fight for everyone else but who the FUCK is fighting for blacks besides blacks. Blacks should support Asians? For what? It is common knowledge how racist towards blacks and darker skinnned people, the Asian society is. Same thing goes for gay white males with their propaganda. ‘Gay is the new black’ my ass.

When Asian society stops being racist and stocking up on chapstick to kiss white people’s asses, then blacks, Latinos, and even whites will start caring about Asian discrimination.

I don’t understand why Asian society loves white society to the point of jettisoning their pride and dignity. It is sad.

Notice how I said Asian society. Not all Asians are racist. I have a quite of few Asian friends from different back grounds, but the majority of Asian people I have met look down on blacks and treat them as inferior.

There fore this common knowledge of Asian racist society, leads blacks and latinos not to give a damn when Asians in general are disrepected. Even if the assaulted person is not racist. The innocent get caught up in the race wars. So don’t blame blacks for not caring or laughing at Asians because the majority of Asian society has made their bed. Does not make it right but it is what it is.

And why it is whenever Asians are being racist towards blacks, Asians don’t say anything? If they assept racist from their own, they better be prepared to recieve it from others.

Many white people just don’t seem to get it. If fellow black teammate Stoudamire was kicking ass, would it be appropriate to put his head near some watermelon and write ‘Cool him down he’s on fire’??? They wouldn’t DARE do that because that’s ‘racist’. But, when it comes to Asians, people poke fun at their eyes, make kung fu sounds, and talk about dick size. The fact is, it’s just not funny. You might think it’s teasing, but it’s mean, uncreative, and it’s used to make non-Asians feel somehow superior to Asians.

Why is it that they couldn’t actually uplift his image, and make a cool graphic? Like ‘Warning, call the ward, Linsanity is spreading!’. Something like that. Every fucking time white people bring up Asian men in the media, they want to turn it into a joke. Show some fucking respect. He’s an undrafted Harvard grad who has broken the NBA record for most points in the first 6 starts. Focus on the accomplishments, and don’t focus on the stereotypes in your head. Fucking idiots.
