Patty Mills subjected to racial taunts during Sunday's game against Cavs

Spurs guard Patty Mills was subjected to racially insensitive taunts Sunday during San Antonio's road game in Cleveland.
Mills took to Twitter late Sunday night to respond to a fan who posted a video clip of the incident, saying that he hoped to "enlighten this confused, hateful fan."Thanks @thats_Z_Truth. I am a proud Islander. Like my Jamaican Brothers, me & my family in the islands of the Torres Strait have experienced racial slurs for decades. Hope your efforts will enlighten this confused, hateful fan. #BlackHistoryMonthhttps://t.co/yH3nKlGv4AThe incident occurred late in the fourth quarter of San Antonio's 110-94 victory Sunday afternoon over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Mills was at the free-throw line with 2:29 remaining in the contest when the fan could be heard yelling, "Hey Jamaican dog, they want their bobsledder back. Hey Mills, Jamaica just called, they want their bobsledder back!"
Mills, a native of Australia who is black, was not asked about the taunts after the game. His father is a Torres Strait Islander and his mother is an Aboriginal Australian.
Mills doesn't consider himself black, though.
Oh that's just great. Now he'll be a Spur until he's 50.
Yeah that's unfortunate, crude people exist and always will. Pop doesn't get that though and thinks we can live in this perfect utopia
Ok, you can criticize his game and his salary but someone here has to defend him on this one. Come on now.
No surprise. People do it here all the ing time.

lol turning this around on pop
despite being a serious matter, that was funny as
Ok I hate to be the clueless white guy, but can someone explain to me what is racist about the comment? It reads like pretty standard heckling.
Is it racist because they assumed he was from Jamaica? Is bobsledding racist? If someone said to Steve Nash: "Hey Nash, Iceland called and they want their curler back!" would that be racist?"Hey Jamaica called, they want their bobsledder back. Hey Mills, Jamaica just called, they want their bobsledder back!"
"Hey Jamaican DOG" sounds pretty racist to me.
I thought it was funny. People are too sensitive. And “Dog” was not meant as some burn. Some people call people dogs. It’s sad when this becomes a national story and the speech police intervene. NBA is so woke, the fan probably gets a lifetime ban and the NBA probably bans me for saying it’s funny.
Wondering if George Soros bought ST?
I had seen the story before this thread was started, hilarious le! Had me laughing butt off!
A white asshole addressing a non-white as an animal? Yep, that's racist, that'a OHio.
Seriously though, cut the hair
Didn't the baseline bums used to throw bananas at black players?
Dog? Isnt that a brotha lingo? The fan was probly black
And cool runnings? Thats a ing old ass movie, the fan was probably Kawhis uncle
It doesn't sound like he said "hey Jamaican dog". It sounds like " hey, Jamaica called". I don't know what "bobsledder" refers to, but if it's something related to Mills' hair I could see the comment being funny, tbh.
I heard dog. Racist s.
flat out racist and uncalled for. i just saw a black hockey player go through racist taunting last week. its sad we still have white supremacists with this mentality in 2018. i hope they ban that guy from the arena.
Cool Runnings was a Disney movie in the early 90s about the Jamaican Bobsled team. Geez you guys were born yesterday lolIt doesn't sound like he said "hey Jamaican dog". It sounds like " hey, Jamaica called". I don't know what "bobsledder" refers to, but if it's something related to Mills' hair I could see the comment being funny, tbh.
Yes, depending on his age, dog was used to refer to your best friend (your human best friend).Dog? Isnt that a brotha lingo? The fan was probly black
And cool runnings? Thats a ing old ass movie, the fan was probably Kawhis uncle
No kidding. When everything becomes racist, it dilutes true racism.
