Fan Throws Banana Peel At Flyers’ Wayne Simmonds; Racist?

[Undertoad]

Yes I do. You're an example of it, beating us up silly for really very isolated incidents.

And missing the bigger picture, i.e. that such a shirt would not be available for sale without a black Presidential candidate who, in the end, won with 57% of the vote. A serious black candidate would have been considered unthinkable 30 years ago.

To ignore this progress is a weird cultural blind spot.

BTW your second example is hilarious. This is also a symptom. We are still on a hair trigger for racism, so now everything is racism.

So now you must apologize for telling people that Hindus worship a monkey god... when Hindus do worship a monkey god, and proudly say so.

It's far more racist -- or more clearly, culturally ignorant and disrespectful to Hindus -- to demand the apology. But that's where we are now, our anti-racism is racist.
