Why not? He was stating his opinion. Are you only allowed one point of opinion on threads? That would be rather one-sided and boring.

Trust me, I stick to my own. I really don’t care what the guy said. In fact, I’m a huge JJ Redick fan. Big time.

No, quite opposite, I wanted to know why it's not offensive to him.

But since it was 'only' a slur used against asians, he should get a pass.

Blacks always get a pass at racial slurs. You never knew? However I did know a black person that said white devil on a job here in NYC. She was fired for what she said! Don't say anything racist in front of regressive liberals who are willing to consume their own. Refer to my video on youtube about SJWs

Why are y’all so quick to put black folks into this issue? We have absolutely NOTHING to do with it.

YEA...I’m sure you and plenty of others thought he was black and would love use that opportunity because you have some resentment of black people, “liberalism,” or your own deeply personal opinions.

And you contradicted your own argument if it resulted in her being fired.

Nobody gets a pass these days. In this new America where we live. Words speak louder than actions.

The poster already explained his reason for not being offended.

Its interesting that on the one hand some people in the "take offense industry" scream that nobody has the right to opine as to what words offend others, yet, in this case, some posters are having a hissy fit that one poster claims not to be offended.

So, does the poster not have the right to be un-offended?

Never heard of the ball player. But, it appears he stumbled in mid-sentence and did not intend to utter a slur.

Come on, people. Does it really seem likely that the guy would intentionally slur the audience to whom he is attempting to send New Year greetings?
