"Uncomfortable"

GTFO you piece of a racist

 

[shintoki]

I felt uncomfortable reading the double down

 

[Angry Grimace]

Well hopefully being jobless doesn't make him even more uncomfortable.

I mean, he's jobless and unemployable. I don't know what the fuck this guy was thinking. He ruined his own life and his family's lives just to say a random racist thing for no apparent reason.

 

[duckroll]

Takuma Sato raced in F1 before. If him winning Indy 500 makes you uncomfortable you should stop watching racing. GTFO.

[RS4-]

In an Italian car at that. Wonder how uncomfortable his name makes him considering...

Lol I saw his pic, said to myself: he looks like a nazi.

 

[Siegcram]

I'm sure his wife and kids are glad he let us know. Way to throw away your career about something literally nobody needed to know.

I stopped watching F1 after Sato and his Super Aguri days... all the fun was sucked right out of it.

 

[OG Shaka Zulu]

Forgive the man he's experiencing cultural anxiety.

 

[jufonuk]

lol even his picture displays his unease

He found out canon wasn't Anglo Saxon . Can see his head imploding

 

[Memory]

Sato looks hyped and happy as fuck in the image in the linked article. Super happy for him and his achievement.

 

[plasmawave]

It made him uncomfortable because a Japanese dude happened to win on a memorial day? Am I reading this right?

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

Have you ever heard of Asia?

Seriously.

America hasn't been a country as long as them. Give it time. It's been over a hundred years and our own citizens can't get over the civil war for fuck's sake...

 

[Corky]

Why. Why do you double down.

Maybe he's running for office or just wants to get into the political sphere in general?

 

[- J - D -]

Had a feeling there'd be at least one media person "uncomfortable" with this.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Twitter has been a blessing to mankind. We don't even have to out these idiots they out themselves all thanks to Twitter.

 

[immortal-joe]

This is surreal. It reads like a parody post.

 

[RinsFury]

Glad he was fired, I hope this racist piece or shit never gets any sort of journalism job ever again. Get fucked, scumbag.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

Sato is a legend. He was loved in F1 and at Indy. 300,000 people standing at ovation when he eon.

What a cunt of a person would disrepect that?

Your average Trump supporter.

damn, what an idiot

 

[Burai]

Life comes at you at 225mph.

Nobody tell him Japanese engines have dominated the event since the turn of the century.

 

[HStallion]

Does he write for the Denver Snowflake?

 

[onken]

I wonder how many civilian deaths his father contributed to with those 67 recon flights he made for bombing runs. Just checking comfort levels here.

 

[Madness]

These are the kinds of guys who vandalize Japanese cars on Memorial Day... They'd have no issue with German drivers winning Indy or anything but a Japanese one makes him uncomfortable. Why? The driver didn't fight in World War II.

 

[Yopis]

What a clown. That guy one fair and square and should be applauded accordingly.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

What a disrespectful punk. He needs to win races the right way on memorial day!

 

[super-famicom]

What a racist shitbag

 

[Lifeline]

Who has the worst Memorial Day tweet, this guy or spongebob?

 

[Frozenprince]

Racism in general is weird and unintelligible.

But this is super weird even on a racist level like, why? How does your brain work in such a way where a Japanese man winning a race makes it turn to a hate filled mush?

Backup Roger Goodell

Goondell.

Seriously. I can't fathom being "uncomfortable" about someone winning a damn auto race.

 

[squall211]

Trump tweet or journalist? Guess right and win a prize!

That's actually not a very good game since most Trump tweets usually end with "Sad" "Terrible" or "Unfair".

 

[Morrigan Stark]

Yeah, it's utterly baffling.

Mofo work an essay to justify it.

 

[wenis]

Good, I hope it made him uncomfortable. I'm of the mind we don't make this world comfortable for racists and feeble minded individuals. Fuck them and fuck the way they see the world.

 

[Wandering Robot]

Dumbass. I can't believe the mental gymnastics people like this do to "justify" what they say and think.
At least he's jobless and the Internet never forgets.

 

[Ricky_R]

 

[djplaeskool]

uncomfortable and unemployed.
heh

 

[Jinaar]

'Mericans died at Pearl Harbour for Daytona, and some *insert racist slur here* from Japan wins our race?!?!?! Dey toook urrrr day!!! "

 

[Violence Jack]

It's the same argument I hear elderly people make most of the time they decide they want to be racist. One minority does something to a family member decades ago, so its just easier to lump them all together and be a generalizing prick.

 

[BobTheFork]

I didn't think it had anything to do with the winner actually being Japanese.
It felt more like a shitty general, 'An American didn't Win America race on America weekend!' statement.

 

[Northeastmonk]

I haven't heard such racism since high school. Racism isn't excusable and this left me with such a terrible feeling. I'm glad his employer took actions against him. What a jerk.

 

[HeySeuss]

Before reading the article I would have assumed that he was talking about the Asian driver stereotype being a Japanese man won an extremely difficult high​ performance car race, which requires incredible skill.

But after reading his apology, he went off on a weird track that makes no sense tying it to memorial day and WWII. His apology is way worse than his original statement. Unreal

 

[jay]

Wait, am I the only person here who sold his Honda two days ago and repurchased it today to avoid having a piece of Pearl Harbor betrayal in my driveway?

 

[Zeus Molecules]

Twitter has caused so many racists people it's jobs..... I love it

 

[Beer Monkey]

Mario Andretti pissed off southerners when he won the Daytona 500 in 1967. Being Italian and all.

Even his own team sabotaged him; attempting to deliver the win for his teammate.

 

[Arrowgigantic]

I have moderate Survivor Guilt so this Munchausen by Proxy Survivor Pride is baffling as all hell.

 

[EatinOlives]

"In this Memorial Day" lol fuck off dude. Memorial Day is to honor veterans and those killed in action. It is not a "Remember When You Japs Killed A Bunch Of Us???" Day. And the Japanese are one of our closest allies today, might wanna leave that rock you live under.
