It's a comment about Asians liking rice at Glen Rice.

I see nothing wrong.

[TheTimeIsNow]

Had a great time with you G-money you know them Asians love their Rice ��

(In response to Glen Rice's Tweet)

[chugga15]

Was it the Glen Rice tweet?

The only thing I see wrong was a bad joke. PC police need to get a life.

Bad joke sure, questionable tweet nah. Just people wanting to whine probably someone is gonna claim they were offended and ask for a free case

[sportzking]

Yes but they like white rice. Was that offensive?

[Cavaliercards]

To brown rice growers it is

[Peties Army]

I saw it. My assumption is guy tweeting it is asian and maybe they joked about it. Not sure in what other context it would be said.

Seems odd someone would just say that. Just an inside joke that should have been kept that way.

Would you feel the same way if Felix Pie was signing autographs and the fans loved him. Then blowout tweeted, "Felix Pie, you know how much Americans love Pie." Then they followed the statement by a picture of Apple Pie.

Yep, he is a great guy and that is why I found the tweet funny.

I never allow another human to be within 3-4 feet of me, and I always avoid eye contact. I never know their true intentions.

BTW: I edited your initial comment because I didn't want to be insensitive. You can never be too careful about your freedom of speech. Speaking is such a scary thing these days. I choose to stay constantly guarded on every syll-a- nevermind.

I can't believe Blowout deleted that tweet.

Probably people that are offended by it are same people that asked Houdini for all the thick silver packs. :eek::eek::eek: (NOT SAYING OP)

This doesn't really work as an example ... better one would if his last name was chicken and blowout tweeted something like ' you know blacks love fried chicken'

[Stat Monsters]

I think it's just the same if they'd said something like:

"There must be some slave master blood in 'em to be that light skinned"

"It's not any more illegal than a Mexican immigrant"

"That's hotter than a German oven baking Jews"

"He lost so much weight you'd think he was gay with AIDS"

It seems that when certain minorities are ridiculed, it's seen as okay, as with most Asian jokes, but start making others the victims and more people are up in arms.

To me, it's common sense to have filters and think first, with a bit of a though process from the brain to the mouth (spoken) or fingers (typing) and ask the rhetorical question of it the message could be misinterpreted or offend.

It's one thing to be witty, it's another thing to attempt humor in bad taste at another person or group's expense.

Sure, people can whine about everyone having their panties in a bunch and today's PC culture has everyone walking on eggshells, but in truth it's just being socially responsible with sensitivity and consideration for others. That's not a bad thing. Why make others feel uncomfortable?

So, I think that post is indeed in poor taste and a bad attempt at humor.

Finding it funny or non-offensive doesn't make you a racist, it just makes you lack a certain level of humanity, the sensitivity to the feelings of others.

I am sensitive and respectful, but I chuckled at an Asian business owner making a joke at a basketball player named Rice and I do not see it in the same context as the ones you mentioned above.

HOLY CRAP! Do people actually think like that? How can you equate what was said to the statements you just said??? There is absolutely NO equivalency and you are simply grasping at straws to make a point.

[rman112]

White people: Don't talk bad about the Asian minority!

Asian people: Uh, we don't see a problem here.

White people: That's racist!

Asian people: Wait.. what?

[hofcollector2]

The fact that it was taken down proves it was offensive.

[sportzking]

I felt it was just a little joke, I'm Asian and I love rice too. Didn't think it was offensive.

[hugh]

It was absolutely offensive in today's society where every word is examined. If it was some guy named Bob Watermelon and BO said "you know blacks love watermelon", everybody would be screaming. No different than the rice joke

[chugga15]

I felt it was just a little joke, I'm Asian and I love rice too. Didn't think it was offensive.

The perversion of cultural identities to fit the the narrative of injustice is despicable. The perversion of personal identities to fit the narrative of injustice is intolerable. The perversion of common sense to fit the narrative of injustice is ignorance.

As an Asian I personally don't find it offensive.

In today's day and age it is very tone deaf however.

We can lament how soft we have come as a society, and I would agree, but that doesn't negate where we are.

So while most Asians probably wont find it offensive, it's still not a smart thing to tweet.

[dhendrix1303]

I'm offended by the OPs user name.

[Cervantes]

I'm glad all of the white people on here weren't offended.

Obviously, it wasn't meant to be mean-spirited, but I'm guessing a joke between Chris and Rice. Said to each other, no big deal, but I guarantee that there are Asian people who would be offended by it, in the same way there would be some people who would be offended if his name was Glen Cracker, and...I won't finish the joke, because I just offended myself.

[Fleer]

From Wikipedia:

"Rice is the seed of the grass species Oryza sativa (Asian rice) or Oryza glaberrima (African rice). As a cereal grain, it is the most widely consumed staple food for a large part of the world's human population, especially in Asia. It is the agricultural commodity with the third-highest worldwide production (rice, 741.5 million tonnes in 2014), after sugarcane (1.9 billion tonnes) and maize (1.0 billion tonnes).[1]


Oryza sativa with small wind-pollinated flowers
Since sizable portions of sugarcane and maize crops are used for purposes other than human consumption, rice is the most important grain with regard to human nutrition and caloric intake, providing more than one-fifth of the calories consumed worldwide by humans."

"Especially in Asia"??????? Very insensitive of Wikipedia. Just because Asians are the biggest consumer of rice DOES NOT mean they like it. It's the same as someone ignorantly calling me "American Joe" every time I eat a delicious hot-dog, and chase it down with a cool, refreshing Coca-Cola. It's infuriating.

Just to be clear, this is sarcasm.

[TWard]

This PC crap never ceases to amaze me. Just ridiculous.

I think those that find a tweet like this one offensive or worth a 5 paragraph response are the reason why we have a non politician as a president. You think you are enlightening people but in fact you are polarizing them against politics and being PC.

I agree with this. It was a joke among those two. Bad choice to tweet? Maybe but I'm not asian so I can't say. Would I have been offened if he said all fat white guys love pizza? I don't think so

[oldgoldy97]

I am sensitive and respectful, but I chuckled at an Asian business owner making a joke at a basketball player named Rice and I do not see it in the same context as the ones you mentioned above.

It's not even close to those other examples. Asians liking rice is the same as Germans killing Jews? Unbelievable. No wonder the basketball boards have such a bad reputation.

[IronMonkey415]

That is true I do like rice I'm half Asian.

Fried rice with chicken wing I love it.

Man people love to circle jerk over the thought of people being too sensitive. Give it a rest.

Pesonally I don't think this is that bad, but it still wasn't a very smart tweet. Imagine if an organization like the NBA tweeted this out. You really think that would be a good idea?

For years I've been wishing there would be more white jokes. Sadly I haven't heard any. I'm not being sarcastic like the other posts either. I like humor at my expense lol.

[yiguiri2002]

I get that it's not offensive but...there's 10 times more people talking about how dumb is to get offended by it than people actually getting offended. I do find that kind of funny.

Ironically what you posted is 100x worse than the subject we're discussing. It amazes me how people these days equate something harmless with something much more.

brb get a paper cut
brb tell story about how I got stabbed

brb bump my head while peering into the fridge
brb tell story about how a thug (is thug racist too? let me know) tried to bludgeon me to death

brb a hot girl looked at me today
brb hey guys I just got a new girlfriend she's totally hot

brb someone hugged me today
brb i got raped

The world doesn't care about your feelings. Move on.

Agreed. I don't get easily offended, and like to find humor in things, but you are absolutely right that it is tone deaf for a business to tweet that out. It's not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things, but there really is no reason or anything to gain from sending out that tweet.
