Alex Trebek made some hella racist comments tonight

During the interview section he was talking to this girl who was a technical writer, and he literally compared writing esoteric academic language in layman’s term to “translating Chinese and Japanese”
what an asshole

Isn’t that more of an insult to technical writers? I don’t see these comments as racist.

Not even a little bit racist. You should dial down your outrage meter a notch or two.

Do you find translating those languages to be easy?

Get real.

He was using a metaphor.
ETA: Or maybe a simile. I don’t know his exact wording.

This is the dumbest shit I’ve read in at least a week.

I hope you’re being sarcastic, because nothing about that makes Trebek look racist.

Check PSXer’s other threads. You’ll change your mind.

Shouldn’t that be “what is an asshole?”

Which is clearly intentional. You need to adjusted your sense of humor, PSXer. I don’t think you’re trolling, but the difference between trolling (making people angry on purpose) and these kinds of threads (where you confuse and annoy people on purpose) is too slim. I’m closing this.
