Are asian's really offended by this? They strike as kinda like white people in that most of this shite doesn't bother them to much.
Jason Whitlock probably disagrees

That's fricking ridiculous. There is absolutely zero reason he should be suspended. Nobody would have even fricking noticed what he said if not for the headline, which is also blown out of proportion.
ESPN is worthless.

this is as bad as Griese getting in trouble for saying Montoya went for a taco. 
Fwiw, Chinese isn't even a race. It's a nationality.

What was said does not bother me. What shocks me is he thought he could get away with it.
Of course if he had used a similar joke about a black person he would have been fired aready.

Also fun that people equate Chink and Asian. You can hate Chinese people and like Japanese people. They are in no way the same.
On a side note, I don't think Bretos did it intentionally, which is why he still has his job.
Exactly, on both points.
ESPN HAD to discipline Bretos in some way, or they would be drawing the ire of a lot of Chinese viewers.

Didn't look like he was making a joke to me. Unless this is a different clip.

Uh, that was pretty bad. Even more since Montoya isn't Mexican.

Sure but for a month? Sean Salisbury was suspended for just a week for showing fellow employees his "baby".

What if he's so not racist that he didn't know what he was doing but this while race-based obsession phenomenon called the non-racist out for being racist.
