'His tiny Asian wife'....yesterday's Deadspin

GGGOOOONNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!


ah, miser Birr Warton has Asian wife?














That works sooooo much better in person.

 

You'll have to do more than that if you really want to look smart.

Not acting like a dick all the time might be a good start.

 

I'm happy that Bill has found true love. We should all be as fortunate.

 

Too bad Bill was not married to Queen Latifah

 

The queen is definitely not tiny.

 

Mizzou would probably enjoy it if his paper's Web site used a cutline that said "so-and-so and his Southern wife." You know, because she'd be Southern, and from the South too, so it would be worth pointing out.

 

Yes, it's offensive. I think it's intended to be.

 

Now we know how Yoko Ono felt.

 

walton's wife is asian?

 

and tiny? I would have gone with teeny.

 

If you're offended by this, you need therapy...

At worst, it's inappropriate. Even that's a reach...

Offensive? Give me a fucking break.

Fact 1 - She's tiny.
Fact 2 - She's asian. (Last time I checked with the PC police, this was not a derogatory term.)
Fact 3 - She's his wife.

If the article said, Walton's tiny asian wife who says "Oh, Bill, me ruv you rong time..." Then I would think it was offensive...

I will be the first to agree that asian did not need to be in the description. But is it offensive? I want to know what part of Deadspin's description is derogatory or offensive...

Get a grip people...

 

Mizzou,

You can acknowledge something as offensive without necessarily getting your shorts in a knot over it.

To me, it seems the blogger was purposely trying to evoke a sexual imagery. I mean if you are tired of seeing her, in the stands, use her name. Not just Walton's tiny Asian wife.

She doesn't look all that tiny, by the way.
