I love how you compare apples and oranges trying to explain this away. If you are talking to a Spainish person and trying to convey something in Spainish and mangling the words, then no, that's not racist. But Shaq wasn't talking to Ming. He was making fun of the way Asian people talk. If you can't see the difference, then you might be a dumb black boy. Now, does that last statement upset you? It should because it is a racist thing to say. Just trying to show you the double standard that you employ by calling people weak assed white boys.

Your just flat wrong! I heard the interview. I didn't just read third hand accounts of the inflammatory portions of an article on ESPN Insider. Yao Ming doesn't speak English and Shaq doesn't speak Chinese so if he is going give Ming a message it's gonna be nonesensical. And my Spanish wasn't garbled it was a nonesensical parody.

And no your statement about me being a dumbass black boy didnt' bother me. Speaking of apples and oranges, however, I should mention that there is quite a bit of difference between calling someone dumb (stupid), and calling someone weak (Likely to fail under pressure, stress, or strain; lacking resistance). So your analogy is crap.
