    Jack Morris suspended for mimicking an Asian accent.

    Hall of fame pitcher Jack Morris who’s the play by play announcer for the Detroit Tigers was suspended indefinitely for saying three words in an Asian accent. When asked how he would pitch to a particular Asian player who’s having an all time great season, he said ”berdy berdy cardiful.”

    Chances are he’s going to be fired. Are we just hyper sensitive over anything and everything?

    The outrage over his three words was instantaneous. it’s like people are waiting in eager anticipation for anything to complain about.

    People who $#@!ed about him doing it are all $#@!heads. Family Guy and South Park do what Morris did all the time.

    So we can only mock southern or British accents now? Lame.

    I can only say ridiculous. I also laugh when I hear black comedians make fun of white people. Too often they are dead on. That even makes it funnier.

    I’ve lived all over the US and in three foreign countries. In the US I supposedly have a west coast accent and when I lived in Deep South and Midwest people I met would make fun of my accent. I laughed about it. I would turn it around on them and mimic the southern accent and we’d all laugh.

    In Germany I had a group of German friends who when we were drinking beer together would always ask me to sa “Alabama”. They always busted up laughing then tried to mimic it. I laughed with them.

    I had a Korean interpreter who couldn’t say Texas. So, when I was with him every time e I had to say Texas I’d say “teeksasss”. He thought it funny.

    Are we so insane and insecure we can’t poke fun at each other any more?

    Reminds me of they guy who did the voice of Apu on the Simpson's quitting because it made fun of Indian people.





    That the very same Cartoon made a good number of White People of all kinds look stupid (and some even criminal) for decades seem to have alluded this person worried about racism!
