It's weird. I'm Asian, but I obviously can't speak for all Asians. Honestly, though, I just don't get the humour behind jokes like "ching chang chong." Well, I do if they're used sarcastically. Like when I try to make white people feel guilty for a remark that may be racist, haha. Good ole race card. Anyway, I think it depends on the individual- I don't watch Comicview for it's insightful commentary on the social climate of America.

Regardless, I think this is just another case of the UFC seriously needing a public relations agent.

They could just get Showtime's agents who go around covering up all of their disrespect.

I got negged for stating my opinion on this which is BS... so thought i would share it since the person who negged me didn't have the gonadians to state his lame disagreement on the thread.... ENJOY!

Dana's Remarks On Choi... 02-04-2008 01:03 PM lovebuzzkurt rampage isnt the president of the company

Oh so Dana White can't make a joke about long duck dong because he is the president of the company, but Rampage can make racial jokes even though he is the LHW Champ??? Sounds like a lame double standard.... Personall i like rampagem and laugh at his racist comments, and laughed like hell when dana called that dude Long Duck Dong.....hahahahah

Neg me all you want... I still think is funny, and to hell with all this politically correct BS going on in here!!!

What is funny is that I can bet the most of us all tell jokes between our friends that can be viewed as racist even though it is seriously just a "joke". I know I'm guilty of it but who isnt? Now I guess it is a lil different with Dana though since he is the President of the UFC and now days you really have to be careful with what you say on camera. Good to see people with a sense of humor still these days but I guess there is a time and place for everything.

yep real professional Dana... now if Joe Rogan said this, I would lol... but he didnt.

[mcdev88]

well i laughed but i laugh at almost everything dana says. lol

[Ramma]

Wow.. Dana is starting to lose his damn mind.. calling Fedor a fake, giving Cro Cop a stupid deadline, and now this...

That is just what we need, the head of the UFC acting like a racist asshole..

Great for the sport, Dana..

[AJL416AZ]

nobody said it wasnt funny.
but Dana is a businessman, and he just insulted an entire race. a race that actually makes up a majority of the entire population of the Earth, to make a point that he doesnt like Fedor because he didnt sign with the UFC.


it was childish and incredibly racist.
