Why is everything racist, that wasn't a statement directed in any way toward the color of Din Thomas' skin. Matt shouldn't of said it, I agree and he's lucky that Din isn't one of those radical black guys that takes any comment towards him and sees it as an attack of his heritage then goes and tries to file for racial descrimination.

I dont want to get into a racist debate but I can for sure see how the big lips comment can be seen as racist. Then again I dont think he meant it that way. Besides it's not just blacks that have big lips. Now do you think Serra talkin shit and calling Matt a farm boy, hick or whatever bein racist?? That was way more blunt than a big lip comment.

If a black person said to me, hey I can hardly miss you with all that red hair, I wouldn't take it as a racist comment. I could come up with half a dozen other examples using my white skin or blue eyes, but I think you get my point.
Believe me, if Hughes really said something racist I'd be the first one on his ass. It would change my opinion of him in a instant.

Big Lips is a known stereotype for african americans though, theres just some things you dont say to an african american if you dont want to sound like an ass, and that was one of them.. im not saying hes racist im saying hes an ass for saying that.
