Really? Is it not just a joke about stereotypes?

I'd imagine 90% of the people 'offended' by this are white, vegan, hippy types.

I think ric is white and a vegan or at least a vegetarian.

I think this is pushing the limits from sugar in this day and age but no one has died so move on.

Its a racist comment that he has attempted to make in humour. If you dont think its racist please show me a link to him making a joke about white players

There may be some that are quick to call things racist but there are also those that never want to see anything that's racist as racist.

That attempt at a joke was clearly racist.

We live in an age where people are actively looking to be offended. Not themselves of course but for others.
It really is all a bit dreary.

Correct Bert. These luvvies would have had a fit if they'd rolled up a The Mersey Hotel on a Friday night in the 70's.

You could debate the extent of how racist it was but there's no question he's a prick in general

 

[TheRemainsOfTheDave]

Why would you tweet something like that, AND make it worse by using a photo montage to go with it?

However I can't decide if he's being racist or just a dickhead.

It is Racist, he probably was unaware he was being however. Old man and jokes like this were prevalent in his youth.

Correct Bert. These luvvies would have had a fit if they'd rolled up a The Mersey Hotel on a Friday night in the 70's.

Thank god we've evolved in those forty years. At least, some of us. We should ALL be having a fit at what happened back then.

To be fair, there's plenty of black people who have been offended by it too, judging by the reaction on Twitter.
