Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I mean, he's jobless and unemployable. I don't know what the fuck this guy was thinking. He ruined his own life and his family's lives just to say a random racist thing for no apparent reason.
Lol I saw his pic, said to myself: he looks like a nazi.

I stopped watching F1 after Sato and his Super Aguri days... all the fun was sucked right out of it.

It made him uncomfortable because a Japanese dude happened to win on a memorial day? Am I reading this right?

America hasn't been a country as long as them. Give it time. It's been over a hundred years and our own citizens can't get over the civil war for fuck's sake...
Maybe he's running for office or just wants to get into the political sphere in general?

This is surreal. It reads like a parody post.

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
Sato is a legend. He was loved in F1 and at Indy. 300,000 people standing at ovation when he eon.
What a cunt of a person would disrepect that?

Racism in general is weird and unintelligible.
But this is super weird even on a racist level like, why? How does your brain work in such a way where a Japanese man winning a race makes it turn to a hate filled mush?

Seriously. I can't fathom being "uncomfortable" about someone winning a damn auto race.
That's actually not a very good game since most Trump tweets usually end with "Sad" "Terrible" or "Unfair".

Yeah, it's utterly baffling.
Mofo work an essay to justify it.

Dumbass. I can't believe the mental gymnastics people like this do to "justify" what they say and think.
At least he's jobless and the Internet never forgets.

It's the same argument I hear elderly people make most of the time they decide they want to be racist. One minority does something to a family member decades ago, so its just easier to lump them all together and be a generalizing prick.

I didn't think it had anything to do with the winner actually being Japanese.
It felt more like a shitty general, 'An American didn't Win America race on America weekend!' statement.

I haven't heard such racism since high school. Racism isn't excusable and this left me with such a terrible feeling. I'm glad his employer took actions against him. What a jerk.
Before reading the article I would have assumed that he was talking about the Asian driver stereotype being a Japanese man won an extremely difficult high​ performance car race, which requires incredible skill.
But after reading his apology, he went off on a weird track that makes no sense tying it to memorial day and WWII. His apology is way worse than his original statement. Unreal

Mario Andretti pissed off southerners when he won the Daytona 500 in 1967. Being Italian and all.
Even his own team sabotaged him; attempting to deliver the win for his teammate.

"In this Memorial Day" lol fuck off dude. Memorial Day is to honor veterans and those killed in action. It is not a "Remember When You Japs Killed A Bunch Of Us???" Day. And the Japanese are one of our closest allies today, might wanna leave that rock you live under.
