Those darn Asians and their white privilege!

 

[Strenuus]

There are so many questions...

 

[Natebishop3]

Is Bokchoy supposed to be some kind of slur??

 

[BBert]

People have mispronounced my name about a million times. From now on I'm calling those people bokchoy. And tweeting about it. Because I have to.

Pipe down, Bokchoy.

Yeah, like what does mispronouncing a name have to do with white privilege? Is it also white privilege if I make a spelling error? I have so much to learn.

 

[BBert]

Pipe down, Bokchoy.

My apologies, BlazedCuckSeaCawkFan84.

 

[julius]

I don't think that's how white privilege works...

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

My apologies, BlazedCuckSeaCawkClan84.

Apology accepted!

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Are we sure Martell graduated high school?

 

[handiman]

I think he's saying Asians have the privilege of being ugly Whites. I'm not very Twitter literate, though, so I might have misinterpreted.

 

[BBert]

Maybe he's back on his back meds?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Hands Up! Don't Mispronounce!

 

[BBert]

Don't mispronounce me, bro!

 

[BBert]

BTW: For the super sensitive, I'm just having some fun with it. Certainly there may be more to the story. Or not. IDK.

Yeah, I can see how you'd get tired of people pronouncing it Burt. That would get old real fast.

[Boob-No-More]

How hard is it to pronounce Webster?

[BBert]

Maybe he called him "Martyl". Or Myrtle.

 

[LeeRC]

Damn, wtf Webster lol.

I always found him to be one of the more thoughtful and respectful NBA players so it's kinda weird seeing him say this.

 

[BBert]

Finally, an interesting off season thread

Dont hate, some may need to see the phonetic spelling in a dictionary.

 

[BBert]

That's Mr. Chalkboy, thank you.

 

[Propagandist]

Has anyone tried putting this through Google Translate...?

 

[Natebishop3]

I'm just curious if anyone actually knows what bokchoy is supposed to mean?

 

[Natebishop3]

But seriously though...... the guy mispronounces your name so you make some kind of racist slur towards him? That's really kinda fucked up.

You know, him responding over the top to a simple mistake is actually more "White privilege" than anything that happened to him (based on what he posted)

 

[Natebishop3]

Pretty impressive though. Calls out white people and Asian people because a cop mispronounced his name.

If the cop was Mike Rice, then I totally get the hashtag...
