Let's be reality here. The reporter would NOT have asked this of any white usa player. This was lowkey racism to son dude on some "typical black guy" shyt. That's how most cacs are, from whichever country. They'll be covert about it, and try to be not so obvious.
This reminds me of when the Duke bros explained to Billy Ray Valentine that bacon can be found in a BLT sandwich. Racist condescending, yall, this is what it was
Would the question have been asked to Ray Allen?
When you carry yourself like an ignorant buffoon, do not be surprised when the foreign press asks you basic questions.
They asked the same question to Barkley about Angola, because they knew how Barkley was.
It's the same reason they ask Barkley to spell words on Inside the NBA, and not Kenny Smith.
It has everything to do with being a buffoon and nothing to do with racism, but since this is the coli...everything that happens is racist.
