Seriously people…Can we just stop being so sensitive and laugh a little. Just because one makes an ethnic joke, done not make one a racist!

LibertyLakeRD,

You said it!!! Stuff like this would’ve been on the Jackie Gleason Show in prime time, when I was growing up!

This country is going down the tubes! I’m sure LA RAZA got hold of ABC and demanded an apology.

Irish,Italian,Polish jokes, etc. were very common years ago. Somehow we survived and thrived, WITHOUT sensitivity training.

* Just-Back from The Taco Run…. who’s Hungy-Gang?

Hey…. Pedro… break-out the Hot Sauce, would’yuh? :oP

He wasn’t out for a taco (although he should have been) – he was out from playing tag-o. And bad decisions on when to pit. You bump too many like Biffle and Juan have and all of a sudden it’s harder to get past everyone. No matter how efite and elite you think you are.

He should be fired over this. Country already on the verge of race riots.

So if you’re speaking about say, a Italian person, we’re not supposed to associate Italian food with them?? If we are talking about a Australian, it is insensitive to say somthing about “shrimp on the barby”??? In all honesty, the people who are offended by this, whether they be hispanic or not, are only giving their name and heritage a black eye..Italians are proud of the their food, Australians have no problem with bbq’ed shrimp..but taco’s….oh my…those are MEXICAN! I was watching the Olympics a few years ago, a doubles diving competition…after the Mexican team jumped, the announcer said, “and the Mexicans gets a 9.5…”….I thought to myself…that sounds terrible,..but then I realized it wasn’t at all, it sounded “wrong” because we have been conditioned to react that way….They bring that on themselves..

ok, it wasn’t a 9.5….it was a 4.0 but I didn’t want to offend any hispanics. See? Causing me to all lie and stuff..

Rush Limbaugh said that there were elitist left leaning types in Sports Announcing. I guess he was right about that. After all we know the real racists are the Left Leaning folks who think it appropriate to keep people segregated into classes.

Re: Mesndblues – “In all honesty, the people who are offended by this, whether they be hispanic or not, are only giving their name and heritage a black eye..Italians are proud of the their food, Australians have no problem with bbq’ed shrimp..but taco’s….oh my…those are MEXICAN!”

You miss the point. Yes, the joke was actually funny and I’m sure not intended as racist or derogatory beyond the context of the moment when made by the announcer. No apology should have been necessary. But if you’re going to make an ethnic joke, then make the joke specific to the ethnic group or nationality.

What the devil does “hispanic” actually mean? There’s no such thing as hispanic heritage or ethnicity. The dude, Juan Pablo is Colombian. Tacos are as much Colombian as Pizza is Korean. There are half a billion people living in Central & South America, many are direct decedents of Europeans (Spanish, Italian, German, etc) many more of other decent, e.g. China, Japan, India. Included in that number or millions of pure indigenous origin or mixed races, e.g. Mulatto & Mestizo. To clump them all together into a single category is none sense. The differences in culture, customs and even language are staggering. An American has more in common with a Canadian than a Mexican has from a Colombian. To deny or argue against that is to demonstrate a phenomenal degree of ignorance.

So rather than having said, “he’s out eating a Taco”, he could have said, “he’s busy drinking agua ardiente” or Colombia’s version of moonshine… which any Colombian will agree, is the national drink (at least in jest)… and would actually be funny being that he’s a professional driver.

OMG apologize fer what? Cant anyone take a joke anymore? Gimme a freakin break!

I heard he was out drinking beer and beating his wife.

Maybe he was out smoking a little Columbian.
Not all Spanish speaking people eat tacos but they could smoke a little Columbian.

Just a Point: now that’s funny! And broadly speaking, ethnically correct, LOL

So stupid. What if he WAS out having a taco? Would he have to apologize for his apology then?

Seriously, give me a break! Political correctness is dead and good riddance.

I see the guy who has posted the YouTube video has done a White House and totally squelched our 1st Amendment rights by moderating comments and stating such.

Actually Montoya has a penchant for Big Macs, which is why he fits in a Nascar and not an F1 car. Oops, I apologize to all the Nascars out there as Im sure there are lots of Nascars that are as petite as F1 cars…………..

Oh my God someone mentioned a hispanic and a taco in the same sentence that’s an out rage and we should cut his cilantro off.
Democrats want hispanics on the same plantation where they keep black people. Hispanics are too smart for that stupid devisive nonsense.

KLU KLUX KLAN don’t allow comments that expose them, only their bigot members get to yuck it up. You can make fun of Hispanics, but don’t make fun of their white women, even though they don’t let them drive. Promoting bigotry is just more proof, breitbart isn’t news, it’s just a haven for the small minded.

Jimmy Johnson has been smoking that Columbian all season long.

Do Colombians eat tacos? I don’t think that’s a Colombian dish – I think it’s Mexican.

I though Gieses remark was somewhat humorous actually. Giese been around for a long time. I would believe in global warming before I would believe Griese would intentionally demean another athlete publicly.

To suspend anyone for such a remark is truly pathetic. No harm no foul.

I had a taco for lunch yesterday. Tasty, too. Fresh.
However, I would highly insulted if someone made fun of me for eating an American hotdog. I should be insulted, right?

Yeah, I went out for apple pie because I am an American. I’m proud of Mom’s apple pie AND America! I watch NASCAR too! Go ahead and imply something there. It does not offend me either. Only way that would offend is if I care what someone thought. I do not. Seems like the do-gooders ALWAYS over-correct. They seem to go way overboard to correct what they ‘think’ is wrong. In the old days a mob mentality would form and they would run out, get a rope and hang anyone even accused of whatever. Now its a psychological mob daring you to even imply something ‘they’ deem is wrong. You are hung because no one stands up to that nonsense. Its the thought police.
