President Biden on Friday awkwardly hailed Masters golf champion Hideki Matsuyama as a “Japanese boy” during a press conference in the Rose Garden with Japan’s Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga.

Matsuyama, 29, won the Masters Tournament on Sunday at Georgia’s Augusta National Golf Club.

“Yoshi, I know how proud you are — the people of Japan are — and you’ve got a Japanese boy coming over here and guess what? He won the Masters. He won the Masters. He won the green jacket,” Biden said in the Rose Garden.

He would praise someone who played a “white sport” in a state that is Jim Crow on steroids?

I won’t wait for calls for Xiben to resign.

What’s unbelievable is the double standard and how this will be ignored.

Well, it’s actually very believable.

How long will it take for the leftist media to turn on this demented retromingent jackass?

[pgobrien]

I remember when an ‘odd compliment’ was actually a racial slur, but that was a long time ago.

Typical Joe Biden.

His roots are in Scranton, the most racist city in Pennsylvania.

No matter how hard they try to keep him from saying something derogatory, he persists like it’s a script.

It isn’t embarrassing, it is racist.

Having spent 30 years doing business in Japan, I don’t see Big White Monkey’s comment going over well

Maybe they'll cut Grampy Shizzpants some slack cause of his dementia...

Old Japanese saying: loose nails are pounded down

[TigersEye]

The Japanese do like a good joke. :)

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Biden should have called him "Japanese they". Always ask their preferred pronouns.

Next big white monkey will want to arm wrestle Japanese boy.

If not for racism, then mainstream media should call out President Joe Biden for eurocentrism by trivializing Hideki Matsuyama’s achievement due to his Asian ethnicity.
