    Harden just can't stop throwing away cash around females, it's a habit.

    Seems like you don't understand the difference between race and culture. "Asian" is a race, not a culture. "Chinese" is a culture (although it can also be a nationality, if you're referring to something related to the nation of China). In the same sense, "American" is a culture, while "black" is not (it is a race).

    So yes, by saying something particular about a certain RACE (not culture), the original poster was being racist. Not that I really don't care, just pointing out your ignorance about race vs. culture.

    He probably thought the girlfriend was cute. She'll go out somewhere nice with her BF but know that it's only because Harden gave her boyfriend some cash, then she'll find his hotel room via one of those groupie blogs/forums and be bent over a couch before you can say BEARD.

    I met James Harden once. I told him I was horny so he gave me 300 dollars in ones and said have a nice time with a girl named Dynasty at the local strip club. He's a great guy and his beard is awesome. Sorry, no photos or actual proof it happened.

    No pics of friend's girlfriend? Just trying to assure others of the validity of your story.

    Also one time I met Matt Bullard. Cool stories, everyone.

    Oh god, some of you people are no fun.

    It's a joke. Asians are typically cheap and/or frugal. Probably half of this site is Asian (myself included) and had a nice chuckle.

    Also, "race" has a fuzzy and ever-changing meaning, so trying to get all technical about a construct/concept that is often in flux is just dumb.

    Is there really an Asian race? Asia covers a large land size with different cultural people, all the way from India, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and obviously China.

    Hence, how could you clump that as a single race?

    Do you go up to black people and ask them for fried chicken and watermelon?

    It's very interesting hearing this story because I met him in LA when I was out shopping with the wife and he wasn't that nice of a guy even after I told him I was from Houston originally and a huge Rockets fan. He seemed annoyed as hell to take a picture and wanted out of there pretty quickly.

    If this story happened then he has completely done a 180 from what I have seen out of him around fans.

    No, you are wrong. Racist is the belief that a particular race, or races are inferior.

    Making a joke about Asian stereotypes is not racist.

    It would be racist if you believe those stereotypes make their race inferior.

    Whoa! A thread about James Harden becomes a thread about race and culture!

    And I thought discussions in youtube couldn't get any worse.
