Grapefruits Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 It is attached in the original post. Thanks, didn't see the edit. Looks like that one guy is offended in the comments. Exaggerated if you ask me. Then again, a lot of people like to jump to the race card and are easily offended these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabatoge95 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 It was oddly worded but far from racist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rbk Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 I don't like it, especially from a newspaper, but I have to say I wouldn't be offended at all if the colours were reversed. I also wouldn't have thought a newspaper would print that though, in the interest of not wanting draw negative attention if for no other reason. Just because it doesn't offend me (or you) doesn't mean it's not offensive. Sensitive people are sensitive, it's also valid. Exactly. It is not an article from a blog. This is from a local newspaper written by professional journalists- you would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdubuya Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 When was the last time you saw a white guy in the middle of 4 black guys? Okay this isn't sounding good. not sure what you're getting at but i can think of a few different scenarios off the top of my head: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jägermeister Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Well... he is isn't he? It's not like he called him something derogatory. If you think that somebody stating that another is of colour (or a dark shade I guess in this matter) is racist, well I don't even know. In sum: Unnecessary? Probably. Racist? Heck naw.

EmilyM Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I am offended. It is very unpro... wait, Jordan Subban scored a goal? Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Well this reporter is very appropriately nicknamed... how do you screw something like that up? This would've been a situation where he could've done some addition by subtraction. Anyways, good job Jordan! His offense proved to be a bright spot in this game.

Canucks1219 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I don't think it's racist but also think that "middle" would have been just fine too. Shinkaruk's to his immediate right and Friesen is far enough to the left. Regardless, hopefully we see Jordan (+Shinkaruk) with that infectious grin Subban-Smile on many Canuck articles to come. EDIT: I never checked The Province's article but the Green Men just tweeted a screenshot of the same caption for the same photo in a Vancouver Sun article by Elliot Pap. https://twitter.com/TheGreenMen/status/514655500110401536 Reply from a Vancouver Sun employee claiming it was written by a photographer. https://twitter.com/gillianburnett/status/514662424109416448 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggins Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Botch wrote the article but I 'm not so sure he picks the photo and adds the caption. Btw, it has been fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
