    It isn’t racist. He’s just an unfunny *.

    Won’t stop people calling for him to be sacked though.

    Stupid joke to put on social media in his position.

    Why isn’t it racist? Haven’t seen anyone try to explain why it isn’t.

    You sure you're not confusing Karate with Karaoke?

    It is racist, but I don't think it's that bad in all honesty.

    Have seen worse...

    Don't think many are arguing that it's not a racist joke, just many will start calling sugar a racist which he probably isn't. There's a difference between a racist joke and being an actual racist.

    It absolutely is racist. Can't see why anyone would think differently.

    Is it worth the fuss it's receiving - no, but it is undeniably racist.

    I don't get how it's not racist? He's making a joke base on their skin colour.

    Does thinking the world is getting too sensitive count as being too sensitive ?
