Jason Whitlock of Fox Sports has gotten himself in hot water with a blatantly racist joke he made about New York Knicks phenom guard Jeremy Lin.
During Lin?s 38 point showing against the Los Angeles Lakers two nights ago Whitlock took advantage of the stereo type that Asian Men have smaller than average penis?
The Asian American Journalists Association immediately got online and demanded an apology from Whitlock for the joke which they considered in bad taste at best and racist at worst.
?[Whitlock's Tweet] doesn?t hold up to the conduct of responsible journalists, those in sports or otherwise, who adhere to standards of fairness, civility and good taste. Nor does it meet the standards of Fox Sports, with which you are associated. Outrage doesn?t begin to describe the reaction of the Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA)
?I?ve cried watching Tiger Woods win a major golf championship. Jeremy Lin, for now, is the Tiger Woods of the NBA. I suspect Lin makes Asian Americans feel the way I feel when I watch Tiger play golf. I should?ve realized that Friday night when I watched Lin torch the Lakers. For Asian Americans and a lot of sports fans, his nationally televised 38-point outburst was the equivalent of Tiger?s first victory in The Masters. I got caught up in the excitement. I tweeted about what a great story Lin is and how he could rival Tim Tebow. I then gave in to another part of my personality ? my immature, sophomoric, comedic nature.?
We are not watching him because he is Chinese you idiot. It is an amazing story because he has emerged from nowhere. By the way, Tiger is 1/2 Asian.
rightly so, racism has no place in sports, or our society. If Jason Whitlock does not get some kind of a suspension for his comment, then his employers are saying that its not as bad to be racist to one part of society as it is to another.
NOOOOOO. He clearly looks like a negro. And his dads name is Earl. Sorry paL. Black genes are dominant, not reccesive. lol. Tiger is More Negro.
If Jason Whitlock was white and made a racist comment about a black athlete, he would be fired on the spot and Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton would be all over the news asking for Whitlocks head on a platter.
I can't feel bad when a member of the media gets canned. they're the ones who built this culture of hyper-sensitive political correctness so now they reap what they sow. what he said is entirely factual though, asians have the smallest dicks. its simply a fact.
Shame on you Jason Whitlock. I expected better from you. If the situation was reversed the media would have a field day with this. In addition, Jeremy Lin scoring 38 points in a basketball game is not the equal to Tiger winning the Masters. By the way, I'm sure you haven't cried lately while watching Tiger play golf. Your sophomoric, comedic humor is not an excuse. That was just stupid!! Come on man!!!
Interestingly enough, here's a real example of a racially offensive comment, and more people are hyperventilating about Lin and the fortune cookie, and now about "chink in the armor", but nothing much about something so directly offensive, both in the moral sense and in the racial sense.
