"From a european perspective it is completely silly to call him a racist. This whole discussion shows how political correctness leads to thought barriers. In Germany nobody calls a German with turkish origin a turk-german because he simply is german and therefore we call him a german!!! Most of them (over 95%) are so well integrated into german society that they even dont watch turkish tv which can be broadcasted via satellite."
you certainly dont live in berlin....integrated?? the f**k...

the people who are going crazy about this are stupid, i know there is racism in the world but this clearly is not and yea black people were slaves but its not like white people have never been slaves i mean ffs, just black people had a bad time when europe was taking over the world and even these days u get the sex trade slaves in europe and they are most of the time white, black people who blame all white people for everything are stupid, yes white people did make fortunes of slavery but it was the way of the world for 1000s of years and i would bet if if black people were ruling the world in they days they would have been doing it to like the black people who sold black people to the whites in africa! lol wonder how bs il get over this but its true

I think this is hilarious and i agree with him a 100 percent anytime a white guy does something that involves races they auto say hes a racist and are quick to jump on a white man
Do we really have to see the racist card again. The way the question was brought up was a hypothetical one. To see that a grooup was quick to throw that card out there proved the real point that he was suggesting. The underlying point was that there was no way in hell that any broadcast or publication today would or could proclaim to be white entertainment and not be attacked as a racist movement. It's okay to be proud to be black or aboriginal or asian but as soon as someone says their proud to be white, out comes that racist card and let the public execution begin.

This doesn't seem racist at all...in fact he's saying it would be racist to have a White ET... BTW I dunno how noone came with this "Negreanu is racist" thing when he was mocking Scotty Nguyen talking all the time (which by the way he gets it spot on )

i did read Negreanus post and didnt see anyrhing racist in it , so probably its like " what you see is what you get". There was a movie with Eddie NMurphy, who played paranoid actor, who refused to play in the movie, because there was 999 times K in the text and that means ofcourse 333 times KKK

It's interesting to see how many comments have been left on this post; I think it's always good when you talk about racist and discrimination for ( here in Italy too ) it's a problem still. Don't have undesrtood what exactly he wanted to mean but I don't think he's a racist; I would be really surprised of it
