Raw Live Raw discussion thread, October 21st 2024: World Tag Team No. 1 Contender’s Tournament continues

[Comrade Khan]

I am actually pleased that WWE is even acknowledging it at the very least it's a step in the right direction

 

[Jacyfer]

I wonder what the girls thought about it.

probably something like this

 

[Jacyfer]

She definitely learned that from the GOAT

 

[Sha-J Lee]

Idk I think people overreacting as usual but ik you get cancelled for thinking that nowadays.

 

[Chris]

I think overreacting would be calling for Carlito's head which I haven't seen anyone actually do. But I've seen people act like that's what's happening as people say "that was a dumb thing for Carlito to say." If saying he was dumb is an overreaction to you then that's interesting

Isn’t Kevin KU’s reaction what started this discussion?

 

[Comrade Khan]

"Cancelled" for thinking has literally never happened to any poster in the history of ws or in WWE. In fact their talent are allowed to be be openly transphobic if they draw enough.

I get dawg, you and the homies call each other f*** as a joke so it doesn't offend you because there's no ill meaning behind it. But maybe if you think outside your own world it would not he hard to think that making the tired all Asians looks n sound the same joke is not very cool.

 

[Chris]

Isn’t Kevin KU’s reaction what started this discussion?

no, Jeff saying it wasn't cool started it. Then he posted Ku's reaction which is very valid because he's an Asian man who has these racist "jokes" made to him all the time

No but that guy is actually Asian and actually has to deal with dumbass racist fans who think they are funny. Perhaps you should dm him that he is overreacting and have a conversation with him about how he's wrong in his experiences?

 

[Chris]

Hate to break up the seriousness but just dawned on me how often I keep describing something Carlito of all people has done as "not cool" lol

If they’re racist then yeah it’s fucked up. I guess it’s a hard line to figure out where it goes wrong. Personally I don’t think Carlito’s joke crossed it but I can understand why someone who has experienced racism would.

Did you just realize this

 

[O-Blaze]

I’ll admit I laughed at the joke, but I definitely ain’t gonna tell someone who deals with the stuff they are overreacting.

I don't think Carlito is racist for it at all, I think he's just old and needs to be educated why it is racist to say it lol
