If this bothers you its time to grow up. Nothing will come of it, apology and move on.

“Dumboriss Smith has lips the size of michellin tires,” he wrote in the email reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

Is that really racist?

Not really. I mean, people are going to say it is "racially insensitive" because some black people have big lips. A lot of non black people have big lips though. Also, he was using it in a context to accuse someone of lying.

This is a classic example of cancel culture rearing its ugly head again.

in other words, its ok. It was 10 years ago.

I remember 10 years ago when white actors were wearing black face on primetime TV with no backlash, and Dave Chappelle was still an uncanceled and widely beloved pop culture figure.

Commenting about someone’s lip size 10 years ago is not racist or news worthy. Wtf is going on?
