Stephen A with quintessentially American talking points and he's being rebuked for them, everyone on the right yelling about cancel culture should naturally come to his defense in this case but will they.

Of course they're not. They're using it as an opportunity to call out black racism.

Quick to back down to the Asians but when it's against black people it's "I said what I said"

 

[The Realist Perspective]

You come to the US you should learn how to speak English. He's right

 

[calixprynce]

He’s right but of course backing down like a bytch .
What was wrong with what he said?

 

[deewayne]

He not right, its a choice, its not different from white people saying that about hispanics who dont speak english. It would behoove them to do it if they want an easier time here in the country but it should not be degrading and looked down upon for

He shouldn't have apologized and baseball is absolutely the worst sport in marketing their stars. He made a good point.

this doesn't make sense he didn't come here as an immigrant he came here to work as a contractor and go back to japan....

should American contractors in Iraq oil fields need to know Arabic?

 

[BaggerofTea]

This what happens when you are black taking up right wing arguments.

 

[TEH]
