13. Dallas (13-9) Juan Jose Barea, superstar: Mexican smurf gets 15-18-22-21 off bench.

First off, It's Jose Juan Barea.

Second, he's Puerto Rican.

Third, how in the hell did they get away with calling him a Mexican Smurf?

I demand retribution for this! I love my team and all the players on it!

[SpursDynasty]

Because he's 5'10"

[Fpoonsie]

If they got his nationality right, would it be easier to stomach?

[hater]

If they got his nationality right, would it be easier to stomach?

Absolutely.


and barea is 5.10 on high heels.

[I Love Me Some Me]

Let's assume they got the nationality right and called him a Puerto Rican Smurf...how is that bad?

If he's Puerto Rican, he's Puerto Rican so no harm there. And if he's short, calling him a Smurf isn't that bad.


If they said JJB the Beaner Smurf, then we'd have a problem.

[I. Hustle]

What they are doing is just lumping all hispanics together. That is where it is bad.


It's retarded though. It just shows their ignorance and stupidity and it isn't anything to riot about... unless you really have to get that 42 inch flat screen

[lefty]

They're just saying he is a small player from Mexico.

If he was from China, they would just have called him " Chinese "; much easier that way

[stretch]

If he was from China, they would just have called him " Chinese "; much easier that way

That's because people from China actually are Chinese.

[lefty]

That's because people from China actually are Chinese.

And small :D; that was my point

(Except for the national Bball team)

[dickface]

They're just saying he is a small player from Mexico.

He's not from Mexico.

[lefty]

He's not from Mexico.

I know, but that's what the LA times thinks

[dickface]

I know, but that's what the LA times thinks

Do have any idea what everyone is discussing here?

[stretch]

And small :D; that was my point


:td

[hater]

I know, but that's what the LA times thinks

why do you think that is? because he is short or because he looks like a beaner? or both??

[Allanon]

LA is full of Mexicans, they gave them something they can relate to.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

I hate Mexicans.

[Anti.Hero]

Mexicans should be pissed because they wouldn't dare use an adjective like that for a black player.

Boycott America.

[Allanon]

That's because Black people are sensitive.

"Black smurf" wouldn't go over too well, much less any other more derogatory term. :D

[I. Hustle]

They won't have to say black smurf. They can say African smurf.

[ElNono]

I'm fairly sure JJ Barea is from Puerto Rico. So he's got basically nothing of Mexican.

[Reggie Miller]

I have it on good authority that while J.J. has Puerto Rican citizenship, he is ethnically a Mexican smurf. His mother was Smurfette, and his father was the Frito Bandito.

[lefty]

Can we call him a Porto Rican Dwarf ?

[ElNono]

I have it on good authority that while J.J. has Puerto Rican citizenship, he is ethnically a Mexican smurf. His mother was Smurfette, and his father was the Frito Bandito.

The similarities are remarkable:

[Obstructed_View]

People in LA think anyone with a Spanish name has family in a sanctuary city. Give them a break.

Thanks, El Nono. You do realize that you have doomed me to an evening googling Smurfette pictures, right?

[Allanon]

Done, take your pick depending on your fetish
