Gary Sheffield was one of the people laughing. Not sure on the others.
But yeah those are good points, I can respect that. I will give you kudos for being consistent. He would absolutely be gone if he made insensitive jokes about blacks or gays. My guess is that Pedro being Afro-Caribbean is also a factor in whether he has to go or not. A white guy would have been fired immediately. I just think that this stuff is too often followed by phony outrage when in reality it was a stupid joke. I personally wouldn't have cared if it were a similarly dumb joke about blacks, gays, white people, etc. It reminds me of people actually being upset about Gibbons' "dresses" comment. Who really cares? But again, if people are going to be upset by that stuff they should be upset about Native American jokes as well.
I also didn't know that but it doesn't change my position. Just because he's a perpetrator of phony outrage doesn't mean I want the cycle to continue.
