Why would he be punished for saying that? That ... that's nothing. It's his character to be racist; he's a stupid texan who believes because he's a billionaire he's above everyone, especially those of non-white color. I mean, look when he had a feud with Eddie last year, how he was at the United States/Mexico border yelling at that mexican family trying to get into the US and kicking the father, then all the stuff he said to draw heat at him when he spoke about Eddie's family and mexicans entirely.

Seriously, the only time he's been in trouble was the Nazi salute he did, but even that was pretty *bleep*ing comical when you think about it now. The guy has to have balls of steel to go into Germany and do that shit.

Being his character or not, people are still going to take offense into things like "Opps... sorry, I don't speak Mexican." But oh well... that's WWE for ya...

There's a difference between being a face/heel superstar to the fans and being utterly disrespectful for one's nationality. A heel back in the old days would've never taken such cheap shots.

I dont see anything wrong with that, he is just trying to get heat. It's not like he ever hailed hitler or anything!... ..

Why not? Right now in this day and age, racism is a hot topic. Use it to generate heat. You don't like it, don't do it when you're a wrestler

Roooiiight, because we never had Real American Heroes, Russians, etc battling it out back in the day. I wonder who was the heel in those storylines? Hmmm....

Oh I'm sure JBL is promoting racism by going around backstage telling the Mexicools and Eddie not to talk to him because he doesn't speak "Mexican". This is entertainment, realize that. He's doing it to draw heat from the crowd because he's a heel. How's what JBL says to draw heat any different than Cena calling everyone faggots in his stupid rhymes? There isn't. It's all designed to draw heat or cheap pops. If this is too much for you to handle then go back to watching the chick program The OC or something on Disney; let parents worry about their own children. I don't need someone taking a stand for the millions of helpless children around the world, especially in a forum such as this.

Typical JBL. I'm hispanic and I honestly don't see much wrong with what JBL did. In fact I was surprised he was fired from his CNBC gig when he did the Nazi Salute from Germany. I was a bit sensitized when he did that border skit last year, as english documentaries on border crossing hardly do justice to the tragedy it really is, nontheless I don't think the man himself belives what he's spewing. This is sports entertainment, after all.
