Lee Dixon nbc comentary twitter becomes outraged

Not really convinced the link between all south east asians and stereotyped kung fu noises are quite the same as French people speaking French tbh.
Just a point of order...... South Korea isn't in South East Asia.

I can't see anything even remotely racist in this clip. Dixon was clearly referencing the player's action, not his ethnicity. And, as others have pointed out, it's much more likely that he was influenced by the old Soccer AM sketch than any innate casual racism against Koreans.

The mind boggles that this is even being discussed as potentially racist.

Well said.
 
Are we still describing Cantona's kick as a karate kick or is that racist as well?
