    Why was he offended by it? He merely referenced it. Elie started talking about Pacquiao and the translator butted in saying 'that's not what I mean', then Elie mentioned Karate again saying isn't that what Japan's known for (which is true). Really, it's no big deal. I cannot for the life of me understand why the guy would be upset over a simple Karate reference. Jesus ****ing christ, is this really how sensitive people are today? lol

    "racially offend someone's culture"... lol that doesn't make any sense. And nor did he say anything offensive. Take a chill pill kid.

    I can't stand Elie but you're going OTT here.
    the only reason it didn't make sense to you is cus Ellie cut the video to save face and save himself further embarrassment right after the Karate gaff. Then he cuts back into it later on (presumably after the guy deads him further) and then pushes the subject again. If he played the full video itw ould probably be even worse.

    And it's offensive for a variety of reasons. Similar to the video of the guy going up to Patrick Stewart at a prestigious broadway show that he starred in and asking him to autograph some poster of Captain Jean Luc Picard. You just don't do that, it's called etiquette the guy is a boxer you don't go up to him asking hima bout "Karate." Do you want someone going up to Floyd Mayweather and asking him about kentucky fried chicken and how good it tastes?
    Should Ellie go up to Yuri Foreman and ask him whether he's going to make boxing more popular than shekels and killing ************ in Israel cus that's what Israel is known for right? According to your logic

        So is it also racist if a lets say british guy asks Tim Bradley why he choose boxing instead of basketball or football which is more popular in the US where he maybe could make more money? And if somebody now says yes cause the reporter would assume that only cause Bradley is black he also could play basketball or football is kind of dumb cause Bradley is a good boxer and you know blacks are also known to be good boxers so where is the point?

        Not saying Ellie isnt racist cause i think the problem is how he asked the question i guess (and how i know Ellie)

                    I don't think Karate is all that popular as a spectator sport in Japan. Boxing is already more popular there.

                      Ellie can pretty much get away with anything because he's ***ish and that's a FACT! It's an unfortunate fact but it's true.
