Is this racism?
 

There's this sports AM radio station that has these two guys on in the afternoon for the drive home or whatever.

They have lately been on this kick where they call different barbershops in the US and ask them about their sports team.

Last week they called a barber shop in South Central LA and asked them about UCLA, the Angels, Dodgers, etc.

During the call, one of the hosts asked the lady who answered the phone how many white people there were living in South Central. She responded with "not a lot". He then asked why, did they have a problem with white people or what?

She said no, they didn't, and was pretty uncomfortable. The guy then asked if she liked white people, or had any issues with white people, etc. Really uncomfortable radio. They do [censored] like this all the time. A few days ago, it was "those crazy negroes" and "black dudes are crazy" during another segment.

Is this racism?

Apparently they think this kind of thing makes for good radio. There's a local sportswriter and radio guy here, Dan LeBatard) that tries to drag racism into everything. If there are any two people of different races involved in something then it's 100% guaranteed he'll be on the air that afternoon trying to stir people up abour racism.

Not really, but I don't really care about the definition of the word. To me it's just annoying.

Not sure if it is racist but it sure as hell isn't funny or entertaining.

They should know better and consider other peoples feelings, but if they know they are not racist...then whatever, but it's stupid calling black people negroes.

Racial tension has made americans so sensitive/uptight.

Black people are negros. It's basically the equiv of caucasian (well negroid is, but no doubt people will have problems with that too lol).

It isn't being a racist, but it is being as [censored].
