So what. Also, do you really think Shaq gives a bleeding rat's arse what you think?

You honestly don't believe he was delivering a mocking rendition of Chinese speech? "Ah-so" is pretty much the Chinese stereotype analogue of "yes, massah".
What a terrible analogy. The negative stigma of "yes, massah" comes from the fact that the original speaker was a slave.Originally posted by: FeathersMcGraw

Shaq is a celebrity and a role model to a LOT of people, especially children.

I don't believe this was racist, but most asians I know think this was racist. Tale of two tales, Borderline racism by Trent Lott, outrage by the black community, all over the news (a lot of attention) and he eventually resigns. Borderline racism by Shaq, outrage by some in the asian community, in the back page of the news in the sports section (hardly no attention) and nothing will change.
