I'm not offended by it myself, but I don't think issues such as racism belong in WWE. I understand that it's used to form cheap heat, but that shows a lack of skill from the writing standpoint. The same can be said for the Anti-American angles. Now I don't mind La Resistance as they're used more of a comedy act these days and I like that, but they had the Hart Foundation, Doug Funas and Phillip Lofan, the UnAmericans, closely followed La Resistance, and even more recently they were going to have Hirohito as seeking revenge on Americans for World War II.

There's too much of it, you know? They need to explore other paths...

As for racism, I still see no need for it, but if you're going to use it in a way that it actually plays a part in the storyline, and not just for shock value, then okay...but to a point. I don't think the WWE are racist, either. I'm sure Benjamin and Booker wouldn't go through with it if they felt they were actually being discriminated. But they need to cut back on the use of politics, etc. in their storylines...
