You didn’t post any I could see, so here’s a list of some actual complaints.

http://www.cbc.ca/newsblogs/yourcommunity/2014/09/thug-kitchen-creators-revealed-as-white-race-debate-ensues.html

Thug is a Hindu word that we picked up from the British; in England it’s regularly applied to white guys, and I’ve used it for white guys myself. I had no idea the word had racial connotations until Ferguson. If “thug” means “black person,” then why do so many ranting racists on the Internet talk about “black thugs” rather than just “thugs”? It may be shifting in that direction, but it’s not there yet for most people.

Liberals are racists.

Its funny to see liberals upset by foodies... being WHITE!

Oh well, I guess Gwyneth Paltrow’s no longer a fan. :)

I think the word “thug” was identified as a derogatory term for black men by the black race-baiters during the Trevon debacle. Previously, it was just a term for a thug of any race, with no racial component, but the Sharpton types decided to make hay by claiming anybody who referred to Travon (or any other black punk) as a “thug” was a racist. I refuse to let an illiterate criminal buffoon like Sharpton dictate my language.
