If you’re not comfortable enough to joke around with your friends, then they’re not your true friends. Another case of the media overreacting to a joke. It’s not like he made a Mel Gibson statement, he just mocked his friend. I don’t want to live on a planet where we can’t laugh at ourselves.

I think the one positive that may come from this story is that people will discover Chen is Panamanian and by extension discover there are millions of Latinos of Asian descent. But a really dumb move by Quinteros.

My friends and I trade racial jabs with each other all the time. Doing it in front of the camera, though, was a bad call.

Cool, that means other players can put on black face behind black guys, we can wrap a towel around our head behind middle-easterners, and we can proudly wear a sombrero behind a Mexican dude. We moved on finally.

Chen did handle that with class. I would’ve been more inclined to shove my elbow into Quintero’s teeth.
