Of course there’s a double standard. But there should be. So so much hurt and emotion entangled with racist comments going in the one direction and comparatively little going in the other. So what might seem like equivalent acts have very different effects.
What’s interesting about this to me is that the majority/minority groups are flipped in the NBA from what they are in the country as a whole. Plus the whole foreigner/immigrant thing. So it’s not as easy to dismiss Harrell’s comment as harmless (although Luka’s sick game renders it so).
