am i the only one that sees that signature as being racist and offensive? whats particularly ugly about matsui? hes a normal looking japanese man in my opinion. it seems like the opinion that is ugly stems from the fact that hes japanese and not a white american? i find it particularly disturbing since i cant get over how particularly ugly that person in the front of that is, yet hes holding a sign about someone's looks.

im sorry if no one else sees that signature as being racist and/or offensive, but i couldnt sit idly by. it offends me unless explained properly.

I think you may be reading too much into it.

It's a stupid picture, but all it's saying is that he's ugly. It's not saying "we hate him cuz he's Japanese".

Stop thinking so much.

Don't ask me what's so ugly about Matsui. Go to Boston and ask the guys in the picture.

Again, you're reading too much into it. There's really no reason to think that they say that just because they're "closet racists" and that he's Japanese.

I'm sure that wasn't the first impression others got of it. It surely wasn't my first impression.

At any rate, there's nothing we can do about it. The picture itself is not blatantly racist, so we can't delete it.

LOL I can't believe we're actually debating over whether Matsui is normal-looking or ugly.

We really need baseball season.

So maybe not a lot of them go there. Or they're not into going to games.

Just because there's not much of them at Fenway doesn't mean the city is racist. Actually one has nothing to do with the other.

Sorry, to open the thread Drew, but the people need to hear from me.

- I was actually the first person to call the picture racist. But I was joking. I know that a lot of people are overly sensitive and would see that poster as racist, just the way you did. But I don't agree with it. I'm with Rob. Matsui isn't ugly because he's Japanese (lots of good looking Japanese - holla at me for some websites), he's ugly because he's ugly. If someone says that Sam Cassell is ugly, I'm not thinking of that as a racist comment. He's ugly because his eyes are too big for their sockets, his head is shaped like an aliens, and his teeth are screwed up. There might be some racism behind that, but you can't know. Besides, lots of black peole crack jokes on Sam.

- I have a Women In Politics class (its a class of all girls and 3 dudes - and I'm the only real dude) and the prof is from Boston. She says that Boston has a lot of closet racists. And more importantly, Barry Bonds said it. ITS TRUE!

- The discussion does kinda seem silly. We're here talking about the guy's looks. If this thread had gone on a couple more posts, someone would have mentioned ProActive.

- Matsui's one of my favorite Yankees and he's climbing up that list quickly. I don't care where he's from or what he looks like. He's my nigga.
