"They"? No, just you and cometswin - two people who are incapable of defending themselves with logic but find it convenient and lazy to just call people bigots and racists. Lazy.
Send him to a racial sensitivity course here in the US! In fact, all players now have to attend MLB racial sensitivity courses to cover all gestures and words going forward...accounting for cultural differences in all countries. Thanks, Yuli! Players be like..."What? Oh hell nah man!". This is a serious issue and it demands a serious response throughout. Thank you.
The only reason the phrase is uttered is to disparage white people and put them down. Plain and simple. Why because you can't see that racism goes both ways? It would be great if people would stop crying racism at the drop of a hat and putting each other down. The phrase "white privilege" is used to put a race of people down. Sorry you can't see it.
White privilege is not to put down white people. It's used to point out that it's next to impossible to 100% empathize with people who are of a different race.
"Alright folks, let's get the most menacing picture of Yuli you can find, preferably in a hoodie, let's make him out to be this big mean guy."
Name some good Cuban and Japanese pornstars. I’ll tell Tilman to buy them for Yuli Gurriel and Farid Darvishsefat.
Honestly lol 90% of the time Yuli looks like a happy dork with crazy hair in pics or just in general. I dont agree with what Yuli did obviously, but you're 100% right they chose that pic for a reason.
Poor Yuli. He may end up in a mental institution by the time this ends. "HE KNOWS NOT WHAT HE DID! LEST HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE! BETTER YET...LET'S ALL GET STONED!" Bummer, man! It's a bummer, man! Another 'in tribute' to Tha_Dude...wherever he is. lol
Did one of the most Asian things and took the nephews to temple “praying” for the Astros to be in the World Series this year...I’m not a religious person by any means but my “prayers” were answered. Those two kids have slanted eyes, the kids in the background practicing “Ching-chong-yang-wah-ah-so” have slanted eyes and the Buddhas have super slanted eyes. I LOL’d when I first saw that Yuli clip, if he get’s suspended for that MLB needs to wash the sand out of its vagina.
That was my point earlier. If you didn't do it in Japan, then don't do it here. I don't think he would have done that in Japan.
I bet he did, otherwise how would he know that they didn't like it over there? Sounds like something he's always done. Doesn't make it right, I was just pointing out that he probably has always done things like that.
From his Cuban playing days I assume? WBC? It would be interesting to learn if Yuli ever was on the receiving end of any racism directed against him while over there? He was the fish out of water. Maybe there is something behind it meaning-wise that we just don't understand given our lack of perspective?
You could easily turn it around on yahoo for picking that picture of Yuli and portraying him in that manner. Some SJW could claim it’s a racial slur on Cubans. This is all so ridiculous. I’m all for liberal social progressive agendas but things like this truly undermine the real issues (gay marriage, immigration, transgender rights, etc). Again I ask, even if they suspend him he can appeal and it just probably affects next season no?
