As far as racism being unrealistic... that gets a big  from me. |
It's very realistic. so yeah.
Racism is pretty big out there. It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to find it. It doesn't really mean it's something I want to see on my TV screen, but it's definitely far from unreal.
But really, since the perception of your typical wrestling viewer is sheep-fucking, ignorant, bigoted, trailer park trash...Can we really expect them to put an educated latino or an Asian who's not one of the top ten martial artists in the world? Aren't we expecting a little much out of the WWE if we ask them to not show contempt towards the french?
