Hard to find exactly what this,was about, but if I've read it right he quoted a bit of Shakespeare that was interpretated as racist? The particular quote has everything to do with calling someone stupid, and nothing to do with race as I understand it.

If he'd called a white guy an ape this wouldnt be an issue

The death of our culture.

You cannot even quote the best anymore.

Yet another person losing their job for non-racism.

This society is sickening.
