I'm still speechless at this, all I do is state my opinion that Petterson deserves recognition as player of the year and that's racist, yet he calls Ochoa a 'dirty Mexican' and that's not?!?
Man does this drive me crazy when the 'racist' accusation is brought into something where no such thing existed. 
Unbelievable.  |
This just came out of the blue? Have you talked to this guy before? You didn't say anything about Ochoa to provoke him? Is he Mexican? If not, maybe he was projecting, psychologically speaking, his own racist inclinations onto you. You didn't ask him to qualify his statement? How
did you respond? You didn't tell us that.
Kinda makes me wonder why you'd post such a provocative account without addressing those questions. Perhaps thou doth protest too much?
