Granger: "Europeans smell like dead donkeys"

[endrity]

Does it really matter that he didn't specify which parts of Europe that he was talking about?..I don't see how it makes a difference..by saying "Europeans", he's saying everybody that lives in Europe, obviously..he may not be a racist, but what he said was a racist comment..

pretty much, it matters little that European is not technically a race.

[Brazil]

For all of you claiming that Granger gets by on the technicality that Europeans are nto a race please read this from the previous page:




oh and one more thing, KBP, European isn't in any way, form, or shape a race. In order to be one, you would have to have common physical features that while most Europeans have with each other, don't pertain only to Europe. Please keep your stupidity to V-Span and Greek national team related topics.

Also, as someone that has lived and worked extensively in bot Europe and US, what Granger said is about as incorrect as some of the other stereotypes that Americans have. French being dirty??? Really??? Man, I don't know if there is a place in the world where people pay more attention to themselves as they do in Paris, yet some fools believe that somehow in all of this they forget to shower??? Really???

The legend of smelly french come from the age of the kings in particular Louis XIV, at that time they used to take a shower with their clothes and use a lot of perfume to hide the smells. Since then the reputation stayed.

look I agree Danny granger is a re ed scrub..

But on this one, he's pretty much spot on.

Yeah this.

Just came back from a business trip to Europe. ers need to learn the words Speed Stick and Bar soap.

Its ing ridiculous.

I'm sure when they saw you their reaction was Americans need to learn the words fruit and vegetable.

I knew the parfume part, the rest is new knowledge

To those idiots who think European is a race, a European could be Black, White, it doesn't matter. So, if a European said Americans stink, would that be racist?

[Vertical]

Bunch of stinkers

[TinTin]

If some german/greek etc had said all americans are fat and dumb it wouldn't be???

I was arguing for that granger's comments were racially offensive

[ezau]

Granger is a ing piece of . Glad he didn't say that in the game against Iran

God, you're just being technical here. Regardless, the comments by Granger are completely insensitive. If someone like Manu or Pau said that black players stink, there's gonna be a riot in the streets.

[ezau]

You must be a ing re . In Asia for example most Americans are not even allowed into government buildings because of the stench.

And if you would notice in Asia they often wear masks when Americans are near them.

Where did you get this ?

[ezau]

Just stop. Odom is not that bad ...he has the "ariza effect" on him.
You expect all-star player based on his skill level? You will be VERY disappointed. But as role playing 6th man or even a undersized, non scoring center in a zone? ona team with plenty of scorers? he is just fine.

I gave up expecting great things from Lamar long ago. If he gets 8-10 boards, 4-5 assists 1 3ptr and a few layup/putbacks that is all I need from him. With lower expectations he is cool ...

So in short, Odom is a scrub. Yes?

[redzero]

God, you're just being technical here.

How is that being technical? If a European called an American fat, would that be racist?

I worked with a couple of guys from Turkey. They smelled like rotton pussy. I think Granger is on to something here.

Also, during the Liberation of France, where many GIs were in France, there was no soap (due to the German occupation) and women had other things in mind than shaving their armpits (like for example finding food to survive), so the Americans just assumed that the French were dirty and that French women didn't shave their armpits.

[alamo50]

Yeah this.

Its ing ridiculous.

Why you think they didn't give you a bar of soap Eric?

[Goran Dragic]

Why you think they didn't give you a bar of soap Eric?

cause he'd probably eat it.

[ploto]

To be specific, Granger's comments are xenophobic.

I don't really think you can call it xenophobic when Granger is in Turkey! HE is the foreigner.

[hater]

I'm sure when they saw you their reaction was Americans need to learn the words fruit and vegetable.

no . They probably saw him get off the plane and hid the children

This is also the reason why we shaved the head of so many women after the liberation !

American should be happy we shaved the armpits of the statue of liberty before offering her to NYC.
