Robert Lee: does he look like a Confederate general to you?
The jidrools at ESPN took a broadcaster off the air because his name was Robert Lee. Presumably they knew what his name was when they hired him. Mr. Lee is Chinese-American. Lee is a very common Chinese surname. And how many Roberts are there in America?
But suddenly they had a problem! Oh, no! Like, the guy’s name is Robert Lee! Just like in the Civil War! We can’t have him on the air! He fought for slavery! Good thing we caught it in time.
First they’ll make us stupid; then they’ll make us extinct.
Reality? We don’t need no stinkin’ reality. 🙄
At first, I thought this was sarcasm, then I read the article. Insanity gone viral.
