So last on WWE's Smackdown Live, wrestler Jinder Mahal cut a promo that people are calling racist.

Here's the full segment.

Fyi, Jinder Mahal is Canadian that's of Indian descent and a heel.

Today, a writer from the Washington Post made a tweet asking for fans that were in attendance to contact her because she wants to write a story on racist promos.

If anyone was at last night's WWE #SmackDownLIVE in Oakland, please contact me for a story about racist promos. marissa.payne@washpost.com

Further proof that you can create racism anywhere you look, thereby down playing actual racist events.

But seriously... She is paid for stupid shite like this.

Triggered? I'm just here posting a topic.

If I was actually triggered, I'd have nearly four thousand posts on this board in 3 years.

Please tell me she delves into the WWE's past on this.

I would love an article written on the infamous Kurt Angle promo where he tried to get heel reactions against John Cena by claiming he wasn't a fan of "the black people" and if he could make any historical figure tap out, it would be Jesus. He STILL got cheers BTW.

I bet she’s cool with Chuck Lorre though.

They should be triggered that Mahal is a terrible champion who hasn't had a good match or drawn a dime, and SmackDown is terrible lately.

Good thing she wasn't around back in the day during the Muhammad Hassan vs. Undertaker feud.

the crowd did chant "that's too far" after Jinder's last "joke" (wasn't really funny and was quite racist... but he's a heel... he's supposed to do shite like that)

in mocking Japan-native Shinsuke Nakamura "you always rook the same" (not misspelled)
